#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon debuts a sweeping new epic saga sure to appeal to her millions of fans!Deadmen tell their tales . . . To catch evil, it takes evil. Enter Devyl Bane an ancient dark warlord returned to the human realm as one of the most notorious pirates in the New World. A man of many secrets, Bane makes a pact with Thorn an immortal charged with securing the worst creations the ancient gods ever released into our world. Those powers have been imprisoned for eons behind enchanted gates . . . gates that are beginning to buckle. At Thorn s behest, Bane takes command of a crew of Deadmen and, together, they are humanity s last hope to restore the gates and return the damned to their hell realms. But things are never so simple. And one of Bane s biggest problems is the ship they sail upon. For the Sea Witch isn t just a vessel, she s also a woman born of an ancient people he wronged and who in turn wronged him during a centuries long war between their two races a woman who is also sister to their primary target. Now Marcelina, the Sea Witch, must choose. Either she remains loyal to her evil sister and almost extinct race against Bane and his cause, and watches humanity fall, or she puts faith in an enemy who has already betrayed her. Her people over the totality of humanity let s hope Bane can sway her favor."

2 of 2021. A book about pirates written by Sherrilyn Kenyon? Yes!! Unfortunately this book was just okay for me. I may try the second book to see if it gets better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seekingtardis I love Kenyon but could not make my way through this book. I‘ve started it about 4 times and never make it past chapter 3 before I put it down and don‘t pick it back up again. 4y
DarkMina @Seekingtardis Yeah it is a bummer because I love her nick chronicles and dark-hunter series. 4y

Then you‘ll like this book about men risen from the dead raging battle across the worlds.

Klou Sounds interesting! Great choice!! 4y
CrowCAH @Klou it‘s a really neat story, with lots of myth involved, and a touching love story. Though, I feel like I should have read the original series first, because this is an offshoot. But I still enjoyed it! 4y
Klou @CrowCAH oooh okay, interesting to know. Thanks! Have you read the original series at all? 4y
CrowCAH @Klou no, I haven‘t. I might in the future or continue this series. 4y

1. Devyl Bane in the tagged book. He had a lot of baggage, but in the end he had a lot of heart and succeeded in his mission.
2. Broken spines.
3. Yes, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Sadly she won‘t be signing any copies soon.

Book 18 of the year, audio

This started off really promising and then just went off into romance tropes so hard it was painful.
She hates him completely until one day she realizes that he's in love with her and oh! Now I love him too! Which is cringey enough when characters know each other for 5 weeks. But when they've been magically bound together for 1000 years? Really you never noticed until just now that he's a good guy? Bullshit.

The book was good once I was able to get past the fact that it wasn‘t about the character that first started the story off. It seemed like a slow build and a quick end but the ending was good so I guess it helped. I‘m looking forward to the next book...mainly because it‘s about the chick that started off in this book.

I‘m a little upset. The book started off from a woman‘s point of view and there seemed like there might be something there between the lady that the book started with and the hero. But NO! And the progression of the book is a little maddening! I wanted them to have something! Ok so I‘m pouting... but come on!!!

I‘m not sure if it‘s just me but I feel like each chapter leaves you on a cliffhanger. It‘s driving me nuts! Each chapter hits a high point then ends with something that the main man is declaring! I love SK and she does and amazing job but so far I am on chapter 8 and I know Iv been like “what! The books over!?” At least 3 times so far!

So I‘m not really able to read the long books that I like because I work all day and come home and work some more on my own business so when I can listen to books I get excited. I love the book so far. I‘m about 8 chapters in listening and o gotta say I love the reader! SK uses him for a lot of her books I think and he is great switching between characters. He actually does a jack sparrow voice quite well! I love it!

Picked up these. My next two books to read. I had started Deadmen Walking a while ago via ebook, was loving it, but never finished it. Going to dive in and finish both books in this series. Can‘t wait for more.

I‘ve been a long-time Sherrilyn Kenyon fan, though I dropped off after Acheron. The storylines had become a bit too predictable. I was happy to see her take on a new series, and this set up is great fun because PIRATES! Dead pirates, but pirates nonetheless. Some great world building, some mythology I‘m going to need to look up, a good dose of humor, and some romance.

I love Sherrilyn Kenyon and I love a lot of her books. But this was highly anticipated disappointment for me on a non stop train. You start with a character that isn't your main character, we skip entire action scenes, and it only gets worse. I had to stop reading it, which really breaks my heart. 💔

LegosAndPajamas Was this the weird pirate one?? 7y
theresidentromantic @Insearchofbooks Yes, this is the one that made me upset and with a pirate sized hole in my heart. I was gratified that lots of other fans on here seem to agree with me! 7y
LegosAndPajamas @theresidentromantic that‘s unfortunate. And I learned how to tag! Expect more tags. 7y

This hurt my heart as she's one of my top three favorites. This book was just incredibly predictable, but worse it was boring. This was supposed to be a Dark Hunter adjacent book, but had zero of the qualities of a Dark Hunter book. I found myself skipping through and once I put it down I had no desire to go back. I won't be reading be the other two. Life's too short and my TBR will outlive me anyway.

I'm sorry guys I love pirate's and the Dark Hunter series but this book sucked. It took all I had to push myself and make myself finish it. The story is kind of intresting but it bounces around to much and nothing grabs you. Plus #pnr is all about the romance and I found the main relationship weak. Don't waste your money or time I really wish U bailed on this.

BethM Preach. I bailed. I was like wait is this even the same author?! 7y

The premise sounded great & I had high hopes. But I read a little over 3 chapters & I don't like it. I'm bored and the writing is not very good. NEXT!

KarmonR I used to live Kenyon, but I feel she has gotten into a rut. 7y
Christy2318 @KarmonR - There are some authors I feel that way about. This was first attempt w/ Kenyon. I saw her talking about how it took years to get this published because no one wanted zombie pirates. I think it is more likely that it wasn't any good. I'm not ruling out giving her another try but it is not a priority on my TBR. 7y

⭐️⭐️
I wanted to love this book, but sadly the adventure it promised was squashed in favor of a cookie cutter forbidden, revenge filled romance (maybe I've read too many of these!).
I'm a Sherrilyn Kenyon fan, but this missed the mark for me. Too many characters and subplots that get buried by info dumping. I sped read through 1/2 the book. I kept wanting a big redeeming piece for the original adventure promised - but it never happened.

🙌✨70% through...☠️
Such a promising start...Pirates plus Kenyon as the story teller - hells ya! There is a twist of who this story is about and it threw me some. Still enjoying but hoping the end wraps up the other subplots.

There were a lot of characters and a lot of new myths and creatures thrown out all at once. It got confusing at times. I didn't really connect with the characters. I do really like the cover. I'm hoping the next book is better.

3.5 stars - I'm completely lost in her universe, yet Ms. Kenyon kept me entertained with this rollicking pirate-ish adventure story and I will read the rest of the trilogy as they are published. And oh man, how she likes to torment her characters.

I was really looking forward to this book. While I will say it wasn't a disappointment, it wasn't quite what I hoped. I know that there is a need to introduce everyone, but it seemed like parts of it twisted up and frankly, I was lost a few times. Nevertheless, I will return and hope for a more straightforward story next time.

I just wanted to share how awesome this book is!☠️ I'm really looking forward to reading this. Kenyon has the ability to create amazing worlds and characters but has gotten lazy lately. I'm excited that this is a new series so she can't reuse chapters from other books. Fingers crossed that this isn't just a recycled story from her other series. If there's a pair of twins that hate each other I think I'll officially be done with her. 🤞😏

CoverToCoverGirl Agreed! I'm giving the Dark Hunter and League series only one more book each and if nothing changes I'm out 😔 8y
