Week 1 Review: Blood on the Tide

From Goodreads:

Set sail for adventure and love in the next spicy fantasy romance from Katee Robert, the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok smash hit Neon Gods.

As a bloodline vampire, Lizzie has never had a problem taking what she wants, and right now what she wants are the family heirlooms that were stolen from her, a ship, and a portal home. Unfortunately, even that short list is impossible to accomplish on her own—and her allies have bigger things to worry about. When they rescue a selkie, it's the perfect solution to her problem. Lizzie needs a guide through Threshold and the selkie needs her skin back.

Maeve didn't choose to give up her skin—it was stolen from her. Now she's in an uneasy partnership with a dangerous woman who seems more apt to kill than to share a kind word. It's terrifying…and a bit alluring. Even though she knows it will end in heartbreak, Maeve can't help being drawn to Lizzie.

Unfortunately, the danger to Maeve's heart is the least of her worries. The ship they're seeking belongs to the Cŵn Annwn, and they don't take kindly to people who cross them. They're coming hunting, and not even Lizzie's viciousness or Maeve's knowledge will be enough to save them…

My Review:
I absolutely loved reading this book! I love her writing so much, and these worlds that spans 3 series right now, and of course, amazing romance and representation, this book was guaranteed to be one that I enjoyed. Which I absolutely did! 

And can I just say, that the cover is stunning. The reds and the pinks as water, with the gold foiling, it's so pretty, and I can't wait to have it physically, because the way the first book popped when I got it, this one is going to be even more so! I can't wait! 

We first met Lizzie in Queen, the 3rd part in Court of the Vampire Queen, which was pretty interesting, because she's Wolf's sister, and their family dynamics are strained, to say the least. So watching her fall in love with Maeve, that was so delightful! And they both deserved that happiness after what their lives had been like before they met each other, espcailly the specific circumstances that brough them to working with one another. 

I'm so excited to see how this series is going to end, since I heard this was a trilogy, the next and final book has to wrap up the rebellion, hopefully for the better, since the council and the Cŵn Annwn are just awful. And I'm wondering if we've been introduced to the leads of that book, or met one, and told the name of the other...

This was a fantastic read, and I can't wait for the final book!
