Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen
4.0
adventurous sad tense fast-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

*This is the first in a series! I did not know that going into it

I honestly bought this book because of the Black girl magic on the stunning cover but I'm glad I did!

I loved Issa the most and I 
am pissed that he was killed. 
  As you can imagine, I did not care for the romance though

I also really liked the spin on The Little Mermaid and the orishas however I have been told that the Yoruba used was not accurate. Please read this review for more details: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4089597804
