 The Sea Witch by Eva Leigh




Witches, Pirates, and a Kraken — Oh My!

Wow. Just… wow. This book was everything I didn’t know I needed, a wild, magical ride across the open sea that completely stole my heart. I haven’t read many pirate stories before, but this one turned me into a full-blown fan. And let me tell you: these aren’t your typical pirates. These pirates are witches, powerful, fierce women commanding their own ship, bound by magic, sisterhood, and sheer determination.

🌊 The Plot That Pulled Me Under

From the very first sentence, I was hooked. This story has adventure, romance, tethered mates, powerful magic, and, yes, a kraken. And just when you think it can’t get any better, there’s a quest to recover a magical artifact that could help stop the monstrous sea beasts threatening their world. It’s like every fantasy lover’s dream wrapped in one salty, spellbinding package.

🧙‍♀️ Alys: A Witch to Remember

Our fierce main character, Alys, is a witch on the run, hunted by the very people she once called neighbors. Instead of hiding, she rises. She gathers the outcast witches in her town, steals a pirate ship, and sets sail toward freedom. Along the way, she rescues women from all walks of life, each with their own story, their own scars, and their own fire. Together, they form a legendary crew that the world fears, and for good reason.

Alys isn’t just a leader, she’s a revolution.

⚓ A Crew You Won’t Forget

Every member of her crew is memorable. These women are strong, wild, broken, beautiful, and real. They’re not background noise; they are the heart of the story. Each character brings something special, and you’ll find yourself rooting for them, crying with them, and wishing you could climb aboard.

🌀 Final Thoughts

I didn’t expect to fall so hard for a historical-fantasy pirate book, but this story surprised me in all the best ways. It’s daring, emotional, and empowering. And beneath all the magic and mayhem is a question that lingers long after the last page:

What would you become to escape the fate others chose for you?

If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure filled with magic, danger, sisterhood, and soul-deep courage, this is the book for you.

 King Maximilianus by P.E. Nylund One of the things that stood out to me most about this book was how refreshingly uncluttered it felt. So many stories in this genre tend to get bogged down with repetitive dialogue or overly drawn-out scenes, but this one moved with a clean, confident pace. I never felt like I was treading the same ground twice, which made the reading experience feel smooth, intentional, and surprisingly refreshing. I’ve always had a deep respect for indie authors. Putting your work out into the world, especially in a space as competitive and vocal as the shifter genre, takes serious guts. And this author did more than just show up, they carved out a niche. The choice to have the male lead narrate the story felt bold and unexpected, and it really worked. It gave the narrative a fresh angle I don’t often see in paranormal romance, and I appreciated that risk. It’s also clear that the author made a genuine effort to flesh out each character, not just the leads, ...

 Unseen by Christy Healy In Éire, 1082, myth and fate collide. The Snow, The Crow, & The Blood is a haunting retelling of a Donegal folktale, and Healy breathes powerful new life into it. At its heart is an epic and tragic love story between Riona and Conor—one tested from the very beginning by grief, sacrifice, and the grip of destiny. Riona, having lost her entire family, is forced into a perilous deal when she confronts Donn, the shadowy lord of death who governs Magh—the land where mortal souls linger before passing on. He threatens her daughter’s life and demands her servitude. But Riona is no ordinary woman. She carries the blood of gods, and as her powers awaken, she must make devastating choices that blur the lines between love, survival, and vengeance. This novel is a beautifully crafted tale steeped in Irish mythology. The characters—especially the terrifying yet mesmerizing Morrigan, goddess of war and death—feel vividly real, pulling readers deep into their wo...

 A Bargain so Bloody by Vasilisa Drake Review: A Bargain So Bloody by Vasilisa Drake I just finished A Bargain So Bloody by Vasilisa Drake, and wow, what a ride! I had the chance to listen to the audiobook while reading, and it elevated the entire experience. This is one of those rare books that truly sticks to its lovers-to-enemies arc, and stays there, which I found refreshing and bold. Who said vampire books were out of style? This one proves they’re very much alive (or undead?). The author crafted such an intricate, tension-filled story that I was constantly on edge, wondering what twist was coming next. I absolutely adored it. The world building is immersive, the mystery keeps you hooked, and the pacing never drags. The audiobook narrator, Cecily Foster, brought this story to life. Although it’s not told in dual POV, I didn’t mind at all. Everything is seen through our FMC, Samara’s, eyes, and Foster did an incredible job giving depth and personality to all the charact...
