Review: The Captain's Curse by Lisa Kessler


Blurb

Captain Ian Flynn would die for any one of his crewā€¦if he could. Now he might have to. Because one of the only known weapons able to kill an immortal is missing. The Spear of Destinyā€”a priceless religious artifact from the crucifixionā€”is in the hands of his shipā€™s ruthless ex-captain. Now the lives of the Sea Dogā€™s immortal pirate crew are all at riskā€¦along with the headstrong mortal Ian never should have fallen for.

Writer Lily Bouchard isnā€™t sure whatā€™s worse. That she fell for Ian Flynn only to get her heart broken, or that she romanticized the man like he was some gorgeous viking straight out of a movie. So when he shows up suddenly with some absurd tale of immortal pirates and mythical religious relics, Lily doesnā€™t know what to think. Heā€™s always had a wildness beneath his well-tailored appearanceā€¦but how could any of this possibly be real?

Now a centuries-old vendetta between two pirate captains has erupted, and Ian will do anything to keep Lily safeā€”even if it means risking everything. But she wonā€™t give him up without a fight.

But the only thing more dangerous than killing an immortal is falling for oneā€¦

Review

This book is funny, mysterious, emotional, and adventurous. All in all, a perfect book for a summer afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Captain Flynn is now the most favorite pirate of all time.

Ian Flynn is an immortal pirate who commands the Sea Dog. He lives in Savannah with his crew, but they donā€™t really like him. He finds out that his former captain, Morgan, whom he and his crew marooned on an island two and a half centuries ago, has a weapon that can end his eternal life. Morgan wants revenge on the crew for betraying him, but he wants to hurt Ian the most by killing the woman he loves. Now that she is in danger from his enemy, he has to win her back.

Lily, a writer, interviewed Ian for a feature on Atlantaā€™s Most Eligible Bachelor and they fell in love. But he left her without a word He thought he was doing her a favor until he ran into her in Savannah. Lily was hurt and angry, but his own secret made her see him in a new light. She might still love him but she can't trust him. Whether she likes it or not, their paths have crossed yet again.

And along the way, Flynn reconnects with his crew and faces a threat from mysterious monks. The book has action, romance, magic, and a surprise crossover.

Overall, a wonderful paranormal story that will keep you entertained until the end.
