Top Ten Tuesday: Book Settings to Visit

hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

This week's Ten:

10 Books Settings I Want to Visit

This whole list needs to come with a caveat, though, (it started being for this book then that book then, oh wait, this one, too until it was nearly all of them so instead it's for the list as a whole): I mean parts/places/times where I would not die. Whether it's through some sort of magical, protection bubble or just a fail-safe, definite, not-at-all-able-to-go-wrong escape plan . . . By whatever means I would want to visit these settings if I wouldn't be in mortal danger.

Waiting On Wednesday [@tricialevensell @FierceReads @FeiwelFriends]

Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine

My pick for this week:

DAUGHTER OF THE SIREN QUEEN by Tricia Levenseller

The capable, confident, and occasionally ruthless heroine of Daughter of the Pirate King is back in this action-packed sequel that promises rousing high seas adventures and the perfect dash of magic.

Alosa's mission is finally complete. Not only has she recovered all three pieces of the map to a legendary hidden treasure, but the pirates who originally took her captive are now prisoners on her ship. Still unfairly attractive and unexpectedly loyal, first mate Riden is a constant distraction, but now he's under her orders. And she takes great comfort in knowing that the villainous Vordan will soon be facing her father's justice.

When Vordan exposes a secret her father has kept for years, Alosa and her crew find themselves in a deadly race with the feared Pirate King. Despite the danger, Alosa knows they will recover the treasure first . . . after all, she is the daughter of the Siren Queen.

In Daughter of the Siren Queen, Tricia Levenseller brings together the perfect mix of thrilling action, tense battle scenes, and a heart-pounding romance.

Why?

I loved, loved, loved Tricia Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King (my review) and am absolutely thrilled that we are getting more of Alosa's story!

The ending of the first book, both where the action itself ended and what we knew by the end of the characters, their relationships and their past (including Alosa's parents) really has me curious about what the second book has in store for us.

That's my pick for this week, what's yours? Tell me in the comments and/or link me to your own post!
