My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐
(Disclaimer: I received a free digital copy of this book from the author for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own and are honest and unbiased.)
Between gripping action scenes and engrossing character development, I was hard-pressed to put this incredible story down. The prose flowed beautifully, especially the excellent descriptions of Beth and Silas's time at sea. I especially loved the camaraderie between these two intriguing characters. The author's expert use of foreshadowing helped build suspense even though more than a few of the events that occurred were predictable. While there were some speed bumps, they weren't enough to ruin my experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this treasure of a book. Girl at Sea is for mature readers only.
Trigger warning: This book contains violence and mentions of sexual assault and child abuse.
