I haven’t read the sequel so I can’t specifically recommend it, but this book in itself was great and definitely stands in its own. A great action packed story for fans of sirens or pirates! Some romance too but not the main focus, and non-spicy.

This is a great fantasy murder mystery. Very fun and comedic with a bit of romance sprinkled in. So there’s a bit of something for everyone!

Lore Olympus

Perfect for fans of Greek mythology and/or romance! My favorite retelling of hades and Persephone! 🩷

This book tells of a beautiful romance between a man paralyzed in an accident, and the woman who becomes his caretaker. It’s actually a part of a series but I’ve only read this one so I’m putting it here.
