Tides of Mutiny

By: Rebecca Rode

Narrated by: Caitlin Davies

Lane Garrow has a secret—one that could get her killed.

In a world where female sailors are executed, sixteen-year-old Lane's dream of being a ship's captain seems impossible. Sea life is all she knows, and she wouldn't give it up for anything, even if it means she has to hide as a captain's boy to avoid being killed. But Lane's carefully constructed world begins to crumble when an old pirate enemy comes after her father. And she begins hearing rumors that her father was once a pirate as well.

Lane doesn't want to believe her father could have a dark past, but she can't help questioning everything she's known. After all, Lane's life at sea is built on lies—why couldn't her father's be, too?

Then a mysterious prince shows up, and Lane finds her very survival tied to a boy who could destroy everything. With pirates, betrayal, and death threatening Lane and those she loves, she must now decide between the future she always expected and a prince with an unknown agenda who she finds herself falling for. Lane must either protect herself and find a way to live her dream, or risk everything for a world where her very existence is a death sentence.

Maybe there's a third option. After all, she's never played by the rules before. Why start now?

Fun Book, Not as Pirate-y As I Hoped

I bought this because I met the author at a book signing and she was so sweet and the book seemed interesting. I enjoyed this book and thought the setting and the romance were fun. My one gripe with the book is that there are SO MANY last minute revelations in the last 45 minutes of this book it's ridiculous. There are at least four Big Reveals, and three of them happen in the last ten or so pages of the book.
It was a fun adventure, and I do appreciate that it appears to be a stand alone. We need more stand alone books. I can't commit to a whole series all the time. This was perfect for getting me back into reading.
