4.5/5
Let me just tell you that I am lost for words. Absolutely speechless. When I tell you that this book probably has everything you are looking for including mythical creatures, amazing characters, such a different plot, great writing, and thrilling cliffhangers. I mean exactly all of that. First off, the plot is very different from what you would usually read. The first chapter already starts to capsize the reader in the Island that Chloe Timms had created, and the mystery unravels as the story moves on along with the main character, Esta who is just as fearless and incredible as she sounds. Her character had truly matured and developed greatly in the book and this had helped the plot move on, and the way that the plot was linked to how the character developed really gave a sense of realism to the story'. Anyways, the Island seems kind of cultish, and they believe that if Women are not pregnant after their first year of marriage then their souls had been darkened by the grip of the seawomen herself, and so Father Jessop would take to cleansing the souls of these women who have went astray, capsized by the Seawoman's powers and fed by her thoughts. Esta has grown in this Island, and slowly secrets unravel as she begins to grow, secrets about the Island and the people in it that captures her thoughts and shows her the true meaning of who Father Jessop truly is. This book is not only a fantasy and mystery that will keep you on high end, holding on tight to a tightrope, but it also includes romance which completely enthralls the reader. And the author really tends to play with you feelings as the plot moves through as well as the mysteries that begin to unfold with the romance. As for the characters, I really loved Esta! It was great to get her POV's from different ages as she began to grow up and her viewpoints began to change. Her character had developed significantly and it was interesting so see the story from her point of view written in third person! This is truly a work of art and Chloe Timms will sail you right into a thrilling mystery that will keep your senses tingling.
