Couldn't finished. Got bored

Set off on a new, darker, adventure with Margrete and Bash….

While the story begins in Azantian, we don’t stay there long. Margrete and Bash set off to try to right the wrongs done at the end of book one (The Girl Who Belonged to the Sea) but things take a turn…. fast.

Margrete and crew must complete three tasks, one for each coin they find on the island they shipwrecked upon. Complete each task and move onto the next, but if you fail? Death awaits.

Everyone has secrets and some are bigger than others…

I am still reeling from this story. Just when you think you have it figured out? Surprise! You’re wrong. Twists and turns around every corner, mystery, suspense, love, heartbreak, On These Wicked Shores has it all. Katherine Quinn outdid herself.

THE ENDING?! Ma’am. I am not okay. We don’t spoil endings here, but I can tell you it left me wanting more. This is one of those stories where you close the book then open it back up to see if there are pages you missed because there’s no one she did THAT and went into the prologue. In an utterly heart-wrenching, but good, way.

If you love SJM or JLA, PICK UP KATHERINE QUINN. The book description itself states for fans of The Hunger Games, as well, and I definitely can attest to that. The coins, the island, and the danger that lurks around every corner aren’t for the faint of heart…

I’m shook

I took a chance on reading this even though I haven’t read the first book in the series and while some of the back story would have been helpful I still found this to be an easy to follow tale. The pacing got a bit off for me in the middle but picked up for a great ending. I found the world building to be strong. My only real complaint was a lack of connection with the male MC but I think that was more my fault for not reading the first book. Will likely pick up the rest of the series soon.

Normally the second book in a series can be disappointing. Especially if you loved the first book. But that’s not the case with On These Wicked Shores. The book was a bit darker then the first one, but nevertheless just as entertaining. And that ending! I guess my only “complaint” is that it ended on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the final book!

I got this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for granting me an arc of On These Wicked Shores, and apologies for the late review.

Margrete and Bash are back with a new adventure. After the events of the last book and the release of the demons on the world, Bash and Margrete set sail for the human world, intent on slaying the escaped demons and saving the innocent souls that live there. Fate has other things in mind.

A fierce storm wreaks their boat and the two lovers find themselves separated on an island intent on breaking them down. Margrete searches for Bash with the help of Bay and the remaining survivors, but they find themselves subjected to seemingly impossible and brutal trials. Trials that not everyone will walk away from.

If that isn't all, the two find themselves changing in inexplicable ways and Margrete finds herself earning the unwanted attractions of a god, while Bash comes to terms with a truth that could tear down everything he's ever known.

I've been looking forward to the next instalment of The Azantian trilogy and seeing how Bash and Margrete deal with the horror of the released monsters.

The plot takes a darker turn as their story continues. Margrete is trying desperately to harness her new powers whilst Bash is dealing with his own, terrifying demons. They find themselves lost, facing trials, betrayal and heartbreak, all while the God, Darius torments their dreams.

I adore the relationship that Bash and Margrete have. They are joined by a wide range of wonderful characters.

The ending was such a rollercoaster! I can't wait for the final episode. If you're a fan of ACOTAR, FBBA you'll devour this series!
Thank you so much to Story Origin and City Owl Press for providing me with an ARC in return for an honest review.
