MY REVIEW
I was introduced to this book by a friend I couldn't wait to sit down and start reading it . I always loved a good pirate book but I didn't realize what I was getting into with this book The book is more then just a pirate book. Meet Dianna who is heading home for here father's funeral . She hasn't been back to Newfoundland for it seems like ever . When she gets there she is met by her aunt and taken back to the house . Where she is hit wit emotions that she didn't want . One night when she accidently breaks a ship in a bottle and is transported back to 1707 Newfoundland . Well lets say more like the middle of the ocean off Newfoundland . Where she is scooped up and taken aboard the Devil's Heart . Where she meets the infamous Devil eyed pirate Barrett and his crew . Where a little work she becomes a crew member and indispensable to them and the dreaded pirate who is more then he is letting on . Will she be able to come back home or will she want to come home after she realizes there is more to this crew then they are letting on.
I must say that I adore these characters . I absolutely fell in love with each and everyone of them . Dianna is a woman who feels like she just doesn't belong in the modern world . She seems lost and not too happy . She is actually stronger then she gives herself credit for . I really liked her attitude and her sass when it comes to the men on the boat . She is brave but doesn't put out a bravado when it comes to something that is going to hurt her or the ones she loves . She does get scared and has a healthy dose of fear for her situation in that Era . Which makes her more lovable and more believable
Henry Barret the Devil Eyed pirate is such a tortured man , he is so complex and you really just want to hug him and make sure he is going to be ok . He has been through so much and when you see him at first . He is surly and really dangerous . But as you read along with Dianna in his journal you see a much different man emerge . He shows his kind and sweet side to Dianna and the rest of the crew . But I must say my two favourite characters in the book are Gus and Finn, they bring hilarity to the book . Finn is a big ole Scotsman who will do just about anything for a friend . He takes Dianna under his wing when she is first on the ship and keeps her safe . He is also a little brass and sometimes vulgar . Trust me you will love the salty dog . He makes the story most of the time . Gus is more on the quiet side and will do anything for the people he loves .
This book is a combination of time travel and pirate lore . The author takes us on a grand adventure . I honestly couldn't put the book down I wanted to find out what happened between Henry and Dianna . Will she stay or try and get home or will the love they have for each other keep them together . The author has a great way of taking Canadian places and weaving a tale that will keep you enthralled all the way through . I will tell you though there is a cliff hanger so you will want to dive into the second book as soon as you are done book one . So if you love OUTLANDER and The Pirates of the Caribbean you will love this book . It has time travel , mystery and laugh out loud moments that will keep you turning pages all night long . So add this series to your fall reading list . Trust me you will not be disappointed in the least
