This world of sea and storm runs deep with bargains and blood. On the remote isle of Rosevear, Mira, like her mother before her, is a wrecker, one of the seven on the rope who swim out to shipwrecks to plunder them. Mira’s job is to rescue survivors, if there are any. After all, she never feels the cold of the frigid ocean waters and the waves seem to sing to her soul. But the people of Rosevear never admit the truth: that they set the beacons themselves to lure ships into the rocks. When the Council watch lays a trap to put an end to the wrecking, they arrest Mira’s father. Desperate to save him from the noose, Mira strikes a deal with an enigmatic wreck survivor guarding layers of secrets behind his captivating eyes, and sets off to find something her mother has left her, a family secret buried deep in the sea. With just nine days to find what she needs to rescue her father, all Mira knows for certain is this: The sea gives. The sea takes. And it’s up to her to do what she must to save the ones she loves.

i received an advanced review copy as part of the epicreads insiders program. this did not affect my rating.
mira is one of the seven wreckers who plunder shipwrecks. her people never admit the truth, that they intentionally cause the wrecks, but the council watch lays a trap to catch them in the act and arrests mira’s father. mira has nine days to save her father from the noose, spurring her to take risks and form dangerous alliances.
this book initially caught my eye due to the pirate aspect, which i do not see enough of in books! i really liked this aspect of the book, especially the fact that these shipwrecks were not on accident. i also liked how fast-paced this book was, as i needed a quick read!
something i didn’t really care for was the romance. i didn’t feel enough chemistry between the characters and it moved too quickly to make sense, in my opinion. still, i enjoyed the book, and this aspect did not take away from that enjoyment.
