Review Quotes

"Readers will be sold on the loyal relationships, the snarky dialogue, and the adventurous ocean battle scenes."-Booklist

"Adventure, romance, and the return of Neill's strong heroine make for an engrossing installment. This will delight series fans and new readers alike."-Publishers Weekly

"A Swift and Savage Tide is perhaps even better than A Bright and Breaking Sea, but it cannot be fully enjoyed without having read that first book in the series. New readers should be informed, therefore, that the two books are best enjoyed when read back to back, all while drinking a cup of heavily sugared tea alongside a pile of Kit's favorite pistachio nougats. The lack of sleep (and cavities) are well worth the effort for such engrossing reads."--BookPage

"I was caught up by the gripping action, the colorful characters, and it was nail-biting all through to the end."--Hooked by that Book

Praise for The Bright and Breaking Sea

"Magic and sea battles set in a world that gives more than a nod to the Napoleonic wars--entertaining and fun!"--Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Smoke Bitten

"A heroine worth cheering for and some magic I wish I could tap into myself. Set sail with Captain Kit Brightling; you'll like the cut of this story's jib." --Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of Ink & Sigil

"Neill's creative reinterpretation of the Napoleonic Wars is diverse and gripping, and the growing bond between the well-matched Kit and Grant is sure to conquer readers' hearts."--Publishers Weekly
