Merciless Waters
by Rae Knowles
A story inspired by the Slavic myth of Rusalka, the undead water dwelling entities, but in this one it centers around a all female pirate crew who have no memories of their past and a twisted love story steeped in vengeance. The Scylla is a ship filled with an all female pirate crew. Jaq and her fickle lover Lily exist in an endless present, but when a man comes aboard the ship, everything goes wrong as Lily takes a fixation on him and he snatches her from Jaq's arms. The more the memories of the crew begin to come back the more revenge seems to call to them. This one was a mixed bag for me, I was expecting a cool horror sapphic pirates romance and what I got was an all over the place kind of boring toxic relationship. Jaq is obsessed with Lily, Lily doesn't really care much for her. Their relationship doesn't really make sense or have any solid grounding in it. The ending was meh at best. The writing style was interesting but the actual plot felt lackluster to me. Unfortunately this one did not live to up to the expectations I had.
