Alosa finds her mother in his father’s office and she steals her. Her mother is a siren and she instantly leaves her and tells her to come with her.
Her father Kalligan is right on her heels with so many ships and they are following her. She discovers she can remain clear headed with Riden next to her. Her father manages to capture her ship, but they get out and she goes after her father alone.
Kalligan actually caught her mother again and now Alosa fought him and eventually her mother took him to water.

I actually loved this!!!
I think it was definitely better than the first book (which I liked), and I really liked the romance (I don’t think I even cringed at all!).
Kept my attention the whole time and a strong female MC.

Alossa's behavior throghout was so rank and I hated that we were only allowed to feel pain or anger or any emotion if she was feeling it. Lots of things happen only as shock factor or to justify Alossa's decisions so at one point it I stopped wondering about the plot and just let myself carry forward because clearly there is only one captain to this ship and it's the author. Some research into sailing was made, but I wish the author had researched more into pirates and their war strategies in a book this heavy with action.
In the first book it's not that obvious too but I don't like the way this series portrays men as evil and dangerous and the language, plus some of the gendered mechanics of mermaids rubs me the wrong way.
