Plot hooks keep you guessing
This is a series that my husband and myself watched and felt genuine sadness when we reached the end of the last season. We knew of the titular characters from both fiction and history, but STARZ managed to bring them to life in a way that we couldn't help but be drawn to. We would find ourselves trying to figure out the next betrayal or surprising good deed, which famous name would make an appearance, and there was no end of drama to keep us enthralled. A most excellent portrayal of swashbuckling pirates on the high seas, bringing a depth to them beyond the known ship battles for treasure that we all know.

This book did a good job of helping me envision life on Maui during the late 60s and early 70s. The imagery was beautiful and has definitely inspired me to visit the island of Maui on my next trip to Hawaii. However, the main character, Carrie Ann, was not always likable to me. I found her extremely naive and a bit annoying at times. Also, prepare yourself for some heavy topics towards the end. All in all I enjoyed the book, but due to my dislike towards Carrie Ann during certain points and some minor grammar errors, I give it 4 stars.

*Although I did receive this book for free through Goodreads First Reads, all of my thoughts and opinions are my own.

A couple things were frustrating. The Clave sucks. People suck. This isn't the author's fault and it's a good thing that she was able to create situations that struck cords with things happening in the real world, but it just made me mad at the world
Sucked all emotion and life out of me thanks cassie I'm now a shell of my former self
It was so good!!! Some may disagree but each book that Cassie publishes just increases in quality. I can't wait for book 3 and I can't CAN'T wait fOR THE WICKED POWERS LIKE YES LET'S FOCUS ON THREE OF MY ALL TIME FAVES I'M SO READY
