Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week’s book: Blacksouls by Nicole Castroman
Title: BlacksoulsAuthor: Nicole Castroman
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publication Date: April 11, 2017
Nicole Castroman brings the dangerous pirate ports of the Caribbean to life in this vibrant sequel to Blackhearts—the reimagined origin story of history’s most infamous pirate, Blackbeard.
Edward “Teach” Drummond is setting sail to the Caribbean as first mate on the most celebrated merchant ship in the British fleet—until he rebels against his captain. Mutiny is a capital offense and Teach knows it could cost him his life, but he believes it worth the risk in order to save his crew from the attacking Spanish ships.
Sailing on the same blue waters, Anne barely avoids the Spanish attack, making it safely to Nassau. But lawless criminals, corrupt politics, and dangerous intentions fill the crowded streets of this Caribbean port. Soon, Anne discovers that the man entrusted to keep the peace is quite possibly the most treacherous of them all—and he just happens to hold Teach’s fate in his terrifying hands.
Life and death hang in the balance when Teach and Anne are given a dangerous mission. It’s a mission that will test their love, loyalty and devotion, forcing them down a path neither one could have ever imagined.
Thoughts
I have been anxiously waiting for the sequel to Blackhearts for what seems an eternity! The first book in the series was a phenomenal story that is a very unique look at the origins of Blackbeard. I am hoping that this second book will satisfy my need to know what happens next and will have just as descriptive and fast-paced.
About Nicole Castroman
Nicole was lucky enough to come with her very own best friend...she has a twin sister who can read her mind and finish her sentences for her.
At the age of 13, she went to Europe for the first time and it changed her life. She loves learning about different people, languages and cultures and speaks fluent German. She knows enough Spanish to get herself into trouble and can still read the Cyrillic alphabet from when she studied Russian.
She received her B.A. from Brigham Young University and has lived in Germany, Austria and two different places called Georgia. One is located on the Black Sea. The other is the state of Georgia where she now lives with her handsome husband and two beautiful children who continue to amaze her.
Oh interesting! I haven’t heard of this series. Does it romanticize Blackbeard?
There is some romance in the novel. It is a fictionalized story about Blackbeard before he became a pirate. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
Gosh, I’m so far behind. Blackhearts is still sitting on my TBR list waiting for me to read it. I hope you enjoy the sequel!
I hope that you do get an opportunity to read it soon! <3
I tried reading the first one when it came out, but I couldn’t get into it. Maybe I will be able to if I try it again. I sure do like the covers!
Have not read Blackhearts yet but a series about pirates and a main character named Anne, count me in!
This was my pick a little while ago. I can’t wait for it! Great choice!
