– I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie – You Should See Me In A Crown by Billie Eilish – I Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkeys (Cover)ĭon’t take it easy, you like it hard like me That’s saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut.” “But a scrub’s checkin’ me and his game is kinda weakĬause i’m lookin like class and he’s looking like trashĪnd there’s an old man sitting on the throne – How To Be A Heartbreaker by Marina and The Diamonds Please give rights if you use it.)Īnd I’d do it over and over and over again if I could.” Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable book about pirates and sirens and thievery and romance, and I plan to continue the series.Every month we host a book club on our Goodreads group and at the end of the month I will bring you a bookish playlist to go with the book we just finished reading.īook club pick for the month of April 2020: The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller. I have no complaints about her performance as Alosa, and the male voices weren’t bad. I liked the audio narration by Marisa Calin too. I guess this could be considered a minor spoiler, but main character is half-siren, so she has some cool abilities that revolve around singing and seducing men. Alosa’s whole point in being purposely kidnapped was to search the ship she was on and find a piece of map her father wanted.Īnd of course I loved the siren stuff. There was also a non-romance plot that I enjoyed. But he was her interrogator, and there was a lot of fun banter between them, and she found she liked messing with him, and then they kind of spent more time together and got to know each other a little better, and the tension and feelings stemmed from that. She had a mission, and that didn’t include swooning over attractive men. Alosa wasn’t immediately all over Riden just because he was hot.
Romance between a captive and their captor can be tricky, but it worked here.
I also liked that she wasn’t made out to be an overly nice pirate just to make her likeable (she had no qualms about stealing and killing), and she was casual about things like sex and drinking (although there was nothing explicit on-page, mostly just passing mentions in her thoughts). She wasn’t infallible or unemotional, but she also didn’t let herself get too distracted from her mission. This was maybe not the most realistic book in its representation of pirates since most of them were so young and incompetent, but then, what do I actually know about pirates? (Nothing.) They were also pretty ruthless when it came to thieving and killing and kidnapping, and they enjoyed things like drinking and sex and gambling, so it’s not like they were completely sanitized. This was a fun book! I’ve been wanting to read more books about pirates, and I always love reading about supernatural creatures, so this was a win-win.
