My thoughts:

This book had me hooked in the first chapter. I read the first book almost a year ago and I really enjoyed it, but it took me more time to really get into. This one had me sucked in immediately. I have been really wanting to read pirate books and things that have the world-building and the adventure that movies like Pirates of the Caribbean give me because sometimes I just get in a pirate mood. This one was super enjoyable for me. I took about a week off from reading to spend with my family on their visit to see me in Texas, and this was a good book to get back into my reading schedule.

Keep in mind, this is the second book of the set, but I will write a little bit of a summary without spoiling the story:

Alosa, the daughter of the fierce pirate king, Karrigan, discovers that her entire life has been essentially a lie told to her by her father. She rebels against him after finding a big secret that he has kept from her - a secret of siren half. Her mother, Ava-lee, is the queen of the sirens, who she was raised to think was a monster who didn't love her or care about her. This book is an adventure of discovery, redemption, and revenge against the years of her life she spent suffering at her father's hand. It was bloody, and I gave it a 1 out of 5 spice rating for suggestive content but there was no actual spice. It was young adult friendly for sure.

This book (and the first book) are currently available on Kindle Unlimited. Vengeance of the Pirate Queen, the third book, is set to be released this November.

Spice-o-meter: My Spice Rating System

Hello, fellow bookworms! I decided that since I recently posted a review of The Spanish Love Deception (which I rated a 2 of 5 for spice), I should probably make a post about my "spice" ratings, which I have now named my "Spice-o-meter". I want to make it clear that the Spice-o-meter does NOT effect the overall rating of the book! I am okay with no spice and I'm okay with spice, I just know that some people have other preferences for the books they read. Spice-free: Nothing beyond some kisses, hugging, etc. If one of my reviews doesn't have a "spice-o-meter" listed in it, it's safe to assume that it is spice-free. 1 of 5: May include hands, more kissing, "fade to black" scenes. No in-detail spice. Any books that have discussion of spice will be included in this category, even if no spice actually happens. I will write a disclaimer in my review if this is the case, because I know some people prefer books with actual spice. 2 of 5

Powerless

Powerless by Lauren Roberts Title: Powerless Author: Lauren Roberts Genre: Fantasy Published in: 2023 Age suggestion: Young adult and up Spice-o-meter: No spice My rating: 4 out of 5 My thoughts: This book I thought was pretty good. The first half of it, I got major Hunger Games vibes from it and I was a bit nervous about how the story was going to turn out, but it got so good! Don't get me wrong, I like The Hunger Games , I just was nervous that it was going to be too similar of a storyline. There were definitely parts of it that were inspired by them, but the story took a very different turn. I got addicted to this book. It took me a while to get into (I've been reading it off and on again for a month) but I finished over half of it in a couple of days. The end had a lot of action and ended on a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next books to come out. I am definitely going to be continuing this series as it comes out. In this book, it is split perspective between a g

What About Me

What About Me by Tiara Vazquez This post will contain spoilers! Title: What About Me Author: Tiara Vazquez Genre: Paranormal Romance Published in: 2022 Age suggestion: 18+ Spice-o-meter: 2 out of 5 My rating: 5 out of 5 My thoughts: I really loved this book! It was another Kindle read that I found because I'm in a Facebook reading group with the author and she was promoting her book. I downloaded it on Kindle Unlimited and I absolutely loved it. It isn't my normal read because I normally don't read paranormal stuff, but I wanted to read something from another undiscovered, new author. This one has probably been my favorite undiscovered book I've read. This book had a big plot twist at the end that I honestly didn't expect, and a beautiful ending in my opinion. This book was about a girl named Ivy who believed that a new woman at her fiancé's company (where she also worked) was trying to steal him from her. She had very bad anxiety and a past with infidelity,
