Is 2021 my year to finally knock down my TBR? Not sure but I'm loving each and every adventure that I'm going on right now. Especially when pirates are involved. Enter Scavenge the Stars. In it, you will meet Amaya, who goes by Silverfish. She spends her days diving for pearls and patiently waits for her day of freedom from 'The Brackish' and it's cruel captain.

It doesn't help that she ends up rescuing a drowning stranger right when she could and taste her freedom either. Yet, she still does the deed that gets her more time on the ship and under the captains scrutiny. Enter Boon. Now he was an interesting character because he was dressed in fancy clothes but told people he didn't have any money. Then goes to Amaya and says that she could earn riches and other stuff if, and only if, she helps him on a mission.

A mission of secrecy and revenge.

Me? Well I was already hooked from the first two seconds so I'm down for secrets and revenge. Lots and lots of revenge please.

These two, Boon and Amaya, made me smile. I just think they were both equally great in their little partnership. From their little mission, Amaya ends up meeting Cayo and honestly girl - I felt what you were going through. It's hard to want revenge on someone and then start to develop those pesky little feelings. Damn heartstrings were being pulled and I was there for it all.

Besides falling in love, and all kinds of love by all the diversity and representation beautifully thrown my way, the conflict and double crossing was way too fun for me as well. I just feel like anything that has revenge, mystery, or any kind of darkness to it - I'm in. It's like an immediate thing too because I will get sucked in and never want the book to end.

Unfortunately, for me, the book ended and now I'm super pumped for the second book to come into my life. So whenever that wants to happen, I will welcome it with open arms. Seriously. Open freaking arms.
