This was actually an ebook given to me by the author who found my blog last year right after I first got started. Obviously I’m a little late with reading it, but I did finally get to it! Thanks D.N. Bryn for the opportunity! Our Bloody Pearl follows a siren by the name of Perle who has been trapped on a pirate’s boat and kept prisoner. Another pirate, Dejean, attack’s the boat and finds Perle. Perle doesn’t know it, but Dejean has no intentions on hurting them (Perle’s pronouns are they/them). Instead, he frees them and they form a bond that is atypical of sirens and humans. Sirens kill humans and eat them, humans hunt sirens for killing them. It’s a vicious cycle, but it’s all they know. As Perle and Dejean begin to get to know each other it becomes clear that they have a lot to learn about one another. All the while, Kian, the vicious pirate who captured Perle, is hell bent on getting them back. Overall this was a very intriguing read. I loved the fact that the sirens didn’t subscribe to the gender binary. They all identify with they/them pronouns because they are who they need to be. Perle even goes on to say that they don't understand why humans have to label everything. There’s also a f/f couple featured and some great siren/pirate lore here. If this sounds like it’s up your alley, you should definitely check it out.
