Summary:
Evelyn is a witch with a perfect storm of impulses: terrible taste in bed partners, sticky fingers, and a lust for danger. After she steals from her vampire ex and falls through a portal to another realm, she’s fished out of the waters by a band of seafarers and their telekinetic captain. She’s immediately given a choice—join their group or die.
Bowen has no memory of his life before he became one of the Cŵn Annwn. He and his pirate crew are bound by vow to patrol through Threshold, the magical sea in between realms, keeping the portals to other worlds safe. When he rescues Evelyn, he doesn’t expect to be attracted to the unflappably brassy pickpocket. The longer he spends in her presence, the more he begins to question if his heart is the next thing she’ll steal.
But as tension heats up between Bowen and Evelyn, danger escalates as well. Because Evelyn has no intention of keeping her vows to the Cŵn Annwn, and if she betrays the crew, both she and Bowen will pay the ultimate price….
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this book, but I enjoy a lot of Kate Robert’s other books a lot more.
This one felt forced to me. I liked the story, but the push and pull, and enemies to lovers didn’t really hold up very well. It was a halfhearted resistance, and I just was not super into the storyline.
I liked both of the characters, and loved Lizzie, but idk, there was something about it that didn’t immerse me. The spice was good, and I enjoyed the world it was set in, and already have read book 2 (which was great!). I think this book set us up nicely for the rest of the series for sure!
Overall, Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert in the Crimson Sails series sets us up nicely for book 2 in the series, and I think it was good but not great.
Not worthy of a reread.
