Thank you to NetGalley, Megan E. O'Keefe and Orbit for the E-ARC! In Megan E. O'Keefe's new standalone, sci-fi and pirates meet in a story to discover the mysteries shrouded around a cosmic graveyard. Be prepared for action, adventure and surprise attraction that will keep you turning the pages all night long. I discovered Megan E. O'Keefe's works last year and she quickly became my favourite author, so I cannot describe the excitement I had when I received the E-ARC for her new book. O'Keefe continues to do an excellent job of crafting stories that will have you on the edge of your seat, ensuring that everything is wrapped up in a neat bow by the end. She was able to create such a full story with an expansive world and great cast of characters in less than 400 pages. There wasn't a moment while reading that I wasn't invested in what was happening to and around our main characters Faven and Amandine. One thing O'Keefe really excels at is leaving hints for the reader while still leaving you shocked when the mystery is unveiled. There's never a point where things just appear out of nowhere, indicators are always there, whether or not you notice them. Whenever I have the chance to re-read this book, I'm excited to find things I wouldn't have thought anything of in a first read. If you're a lover of sci-fi, I urge you to pick this up on release! You won't find any disappointment in the story O'Keefe has written.
