Daughter of the Siren Queen picks up where Daughter of the Pirate King leaves off. 

Alosa completes her mission and now not only does she have all three pieces of the map to the infamous hidden treasure, but those that kept her captive previously are now prisoners on her own ship. 

Riden, the unexpectedly loyal first mate is under her orders. And Vordan will be facing her father's justice soon. 

But Vordan reveals one of her father's secrets that he has kept for years - and then the race is on. Will Alosa and her crew survive the deadly match up between the nortourious Pirate King? 

So I loved the fast pace & the thrilling adventure in the world & between the characters. 

Alosa was still fierce & strong - still an amazing pirate and Captain of her crew, & coming to terms with her other side and abilities - which she will need to beat the deadly race against her father the Pirate King. This read was quick & easy & perfect for summer being pirates on the open sea. I cannot wait to dive into book 3 & find out what happens next between the characters and in this world. I definitely recommend this series if you love YA fantasy, pirates and sirens. 

4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐.

I've found an affinity for pirate books over the past few years, and particularly ones with female main characters. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but I think I actually preferred this one. There was more depth to the characters and the story drew me in right from the beginning. I would love to see this series eventually get adapted for a film or TV series, and the author definitely provides plenty of material to work with. This was some of the best multi-layered storytelling I've read in a while.
