On Twisting Tides by Val E. Lane

2.0

I appreciate that this book was more pirate focused than the first. But it just didn't work for me. 

Just like the first, the plot is decent, and the idea is there, but the characters are just so immature and bland that I just can't get into it. I also really hate a OW/OM trope, and while it's explained, it's still a huge chunk of the book. 

I liked the time travel twist, it was fun, and it went along with the whole Bermuda triangle aspect so well. But as soon as we get to this point, Milo is separated from everyone, and Bellamy pops up. I think this might have worked better for me if Milo actually did something with his chapters other than drink excessively and pout about his dad not being the person he thought it was. 

I needed more done with the plot, I just feel like I kept getting my hopes up that something big was going to happen, and then it didn't. 

I won't lie, Katrina mixing her paints with her tears pushed me over my eye rolling limit for this book, and that was barely halfway through.
