“If you’re looking for sympathy, go find Mandsy.”
He glares at me. “Sympathy is not what I want from you, Alosa.”
Tricia Levenseller’s Daughter of the Siren Queen had some really fun moments, but I did want more in terms of world-building. You can read my mini-review of this one here. You can read my review of this one here. Cover is linked to Goodreads.
From the Goodreads Synopsis:
“Alosa’s mission is finally complete. Not only has she recovered all three pieces of the map to a legendary hidden treasure, but the pirates who originally took her captive are now prisoners on her ship. Still unfairly attractive and unexpectedly loyal, first mate Riden is a constant distraction, but now he’s under her orders. And she takes great comfort in knowing that the villainous Vordan will soon be facing her father’s justice.
When Vordan exposes a secret her father has kept for years, Alosa and her crew find themselves in a deadly race with the feared Pirate King. Despite the danger, Alosa knows they will recover the treasure first . . . after all, she is the daughter of the Siren Queen.”
I can’t wait to read this sequel!
Thanks for sharing, Alicia.

I wanted more from this one, too – her mother was barely in the book!

I’ve had this one on my list for awhile now, but haven’t had a chance to read it! I love the premise! There have been a lot of positive and negative reviews for this one, and I’m curious which side of the fence I’ll land on. Thanks for sharing!
