Is her pirate revenge worth the price she'll have to pay?
Pirate Grace Porter has lost both her mother and her crew--her family--to the monstrous Mordgris creatures.
But it never would have happened if it not for the villainous pirate Whighorn.
Tracking Whighorn to a mythical island, Grace must grapple with her slipping grip on her humanity as she succumbs to a darkness in her. A darkness that isn't just her pirate experience talking. It's something deeper. Something ancient.
Something in her blood.
And she’ll have to decide if her revenge on Whighorn and the Mordgris is worth sacrificing what she has left--what she holds more dear than any treasure she's ever encountered.
Her soul.
On Sinister Shores, by author Jennifer Ellison, is the
third and final installment in the authors Lady Pirates series. This story
picks up right where Through Fathoms Dark and Deep left off. Protagonist Grace
Porter and the survivors of the Lady Luck, including Lord Leonardo Wesson &
Sam Smi, have found themselves on board her father's ship the Commandant after
being rescued. Things though are not so simple. Grace is changing. She knows
she's changing but she keeps up her hope that she can find her way to gain
revenge against Captain Whigborn and the Broken Serpent for what he did to the
crew of the Lady Luck.
Grace needs to find a way to get to La Isla de Oro
(Island of Gold) where Whigborn and his crew are heading. Leo’s brother John is
also on board, so finding the Captain's ship and its crew may lead them to
helping John escape which would go a long way of making things right. She also
has the Map of Omna which allegedly can lead her to the home of her most
dreaded enemy; the Mordgris. 3 years ago, the Mordgris allegedly took Grace's
mother and vanished back to their homes.
The most curious aspect about Grace is that she seems
impervious from attacks by her enemies. They've had numerous chances to take her
but have left her alone for some reason. She can't forget that the Mordgris
warned Grace to say away from their home. The Mordgris have the curious ability
to walk on two legs and take the face of anyone that they've encountered. Grace
believes that if she can find the island, she may solve the mystery of what
happened to her mother. Is her mother really the monster that she believes? Or,
can she be saved? Meanwhile, Grace’s relationship with her father apparently
ends in a good place of respect.
Summary: I think this story could have been longer. I
would have liked to see more action. I would have liked to see more scenes
between Grace and the Mordgris. There are some romance scenes between Grace and
Leo. In the time of this pandemic, I understand that authors are struggling to
put out a product to satisfy fans. In this case, I think the author could have
waited a few more months to tighten up editing errors and making the story
sing.
