Hunt on Dark Waters - This book, has me so conflicted. Whilst the characters were not really gripping. I found the plot really engaging and exceptionally clever. I loved the pirate element - and the portal storyline.

I really didn't like Lizzie and I really didn't like the pace. It felt like things were thrown in and over within the blink of an eye. The romance went from 0-100 in about 2 seconds and it kept at that pace the entire way through the book.

I liked the introduction of the mystery, and that was possibly the only part of the book that didn't go by at 100mph because it's setting you up for the next one (which I still totally want to read to be part of the adventure into all their unanswered questions).

It's been a few days since I read this one and it's taken that long to sensibly write down why I did/didn't like it. Would I reread? probably not. Would I continue the series? Absolutely.

This is the first instalment in Katee Roberts new pirate fantasy series. I thought that the spice was really good but a bit insta-lovey for my liking… And not a lot happened throughout the book.

A fantastic start to an exciting new fantasy series from Katee[]p./ Robert. There's the perfect amount of world building for a first book in a series and I was hooked from start to finish. Evelyn is our feisty, fierce main character and Bowen is our MMC whose world is turned upside down by Evelyn's arrival. There's also a really strong, diverse list of secondary characters whom I'm sure we'll learn more about over the series. Hunt of Dark Waters starts in the real world, but Evelyn ends up in the Threshold, an inbetween-realm made of islands that each house portals to different dimensions. Bowen is part of a naval force that polices the seas and captures people traveling between portals, but with Evelyn’s influence he begins to see the cracks in the system he’s been a part of his whole life.

Can't wait to find out what else is in store for Evelyn and Bowen!

A fun NA read. Would recommend for those who love easygoing fantasy romance. Not my favourite tropes, and I didn’t really take to either of the main characters which is probably why I didn’t enjoy this as much as other readers. But a case of, “it’s not you, it’s me”! Think the right readers would LOVE this.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Katee Roberts has done it again, this novel is a fantastic read. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Oh this got good real quick! Not at all what I was expecting...thrilling fantasy, pirates (or their cousins?), variety of sea monsters...Ugh this was so good. Just read it. Needless to the spice was good and dosed right. Counting down the days to the next book!

Special thanks to Random House UK and Netgalley for proving an advance copy in exchange for an honest review!

Katee Roberts has yet again hooked me into a whole new world, I absolutely love her ability to world build and still deliver a sizzling romance too.

I’ve previously read a couple of Katee Roberts series but this may become one of my favourites. The story was griping from start to finish and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

Alas, this was not for me. Poor characterization meant I did not connect to the characters or find the romance particularly compelling. Steamy scenes were a letdown. I quickly found myself skimming. Disappointing, but perhaps others will love this.

Loved it, bloody loved it.

A great start to a new series of books by Katee Robert’s and I hope there will be plenty.

I loved the pirate aspect and the wild hunt, not something I’ve read before and i was intrigued and then hooked from start to finish.

So when you know you need to do something else and you say to your self ok end of this chapter ill stop and do what i need to do, however when the chapter ends it always ends with oh god to need to read more sometimes i had to physically stop myself from continuing, I’m my mind that is a great book.

The characters are amazing fierce women and amazing hero of man.

The romance was hot and their love will continue to grow I’m sure in future books which i can not wait for.

Thank Netgalley for this amazing book to read for a honest review
