rjordan19 's review for:
Treasure of the Abyss
by Tiffany Roberts
What? A KRAKEN hero? Oh yes. I knew I had to file this book away to try sometime. I decided now was the time. I have disliked pretty much everything I've read. Some have been okay, but I haven't had any 5 stars. I needed to break out of HR, maybe. Everything was the same. How different can you get? I told my husband I had a kraken lover and he repeatedly asked me questions about the book. I think he's jealous. Lol.
So this planet is not Earth, though it's basically earth like. Humans colonized it long ago, but much of the history has been lost over time. The village Rose lives in has a very historic feel. A lot of the book takes place in a cave where Jax and Rose get to know each other, obviously very rustic, though she does find a device that plays music for one of the scenes. They also go to Jax's colony home and there is running water there and some devices/computers.
Macy lives a boring life in their village as a gardener. She's been friends with Camrin since childhood and he has been courting her for 6-7 years. She knows the time has finally come to tell him she's ready for the joining, even though she knows he's not right for her. He is like a brother and she has no sexual feelings for him, but doesn't have the heart to tell him. She's convinced herself she will develop feelings after their joining. Macy lost her sister at sea years ago and has avoided it since, so she's extra hesitant when Camrin requests to take her out on a boat for the special night. She puts her fear aside and joins him. Once on board, it's not long before a storm hits and she is tossed overboard. She's rescued by Jax, the kraken.
Jax is known to his people as the wanderer. He helps when needed but his heart is outside their colony, always exploring and collecting things. Once he collects Rose from the sea, he knows he must stop her from returning to her people. But he finds it's more than his people's protection that he forces her to stay with him.
I had NO IDEA what to expect with this book. And I rather loved a lot of it. I've heard it referenced as erotica, but I don't think that fits. There are a number of explicit scenes but they happen later in the book. There's plenty of plot, danger, problems to solve, sexual tension, and human kraken sex. But sex definitely isn't the focus of the book.
My complaints about the book are mainly Rose. She cried a lot and that always annoys me. At least it was pointed out that she cries a lot haha. But overall I really liked it. Would I try another? Fuck yes.
