Oh my gosh, both the book and this cover were pretty damn beautiful if I do say so myself.

But anyway.

I have a thing with journeys on the high seas, and even though these guys aren’t technically pirates – well at least not on the surface -, they are giving me that kind of vibe. Actually, the beginning of this book and the premise of the synopsis reminds me of the beginning scene of the first Pirates of the Caribbean, you know when Elizabeth Swan saves Will Turner? Except this book is kind of opposite since it’s the girl that was saved from the ocean?

Cooooooooool, right?



There is a little bit of a insta-love that happens between our two main characters: Fina and Antonio, but maybe it kind of works for this situation. You never know when your last moment is going to come around and sometimes you need to just have some emotions that aren’t always so stressful. Well, love can be stressful, but in a good way.



The thing about Fina though, is that she has powers that are reminiscent of Rogue from X-Men. Basically, anyone she touches, she can kill. It’s kind of hard to make any lasting relationships when you can’t touch anyone safely. Of course, it’s a little more complicated than that, but I won’t spoil it for you.



Fina is a main character that I think is one of my favorites now. I have always been a stan of female characters that have a sordid past and just keep going no matter how shitty things have been for them. Even though the first time we meet her she feels like she deserves whatever death is coming to her – for clear reasons once we know more about it – she still seems to be fighting for life. Sure, she may think it’s just a panic instinct reflex or whatever, but there is some small part of her that does want to live, that does want to survive, and she’s doing what she needs to in order to do so. She doesn’t just lie down and take it, you know? I admire that about MCs and I would say that I admire this about her.

I can’t wait to see what others have to say about this book, and I’m hoping that they find Fina someone to root for like I do.
