Review – Voyage of the Damned by Frances White Feature – Friday 56
Friday 56 is a book meme – I can see who originally hosted but the site looks to have been taken over so don’t really want to share the link!
The Rules:
1. Grab a book 2. Turn to Page 56 in a physical book or 56% in your eReader of choice. 3. Find a line or paragraph that jumps out at you and share!
He was about to marry a stranger. A girl who looked at him with disdain.
He deserved this, though. It was his fault that he was his father’s sole heir. He deserved to be miserable.
This book was absolutely magical!
Title: Divine Rivals
Series: Letters of Enchantment #1
Author: Rebecca Ross
When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell, in a war among gods, to seal their fate forever.
After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. Her mother is suffering from addiction and her brother is missing from the front lines. Her best bet is to win the columnist promotion at the Oath Gazette.
To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish―into the hands of Roman Kitt, her cold and handsome rival at the paper. When he anonymously writes Iris back, the two of them forge a connection that will follow Iris all the way to the front lines of battle: for her brother, the fate of mankind, and love.
For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the emperor’s ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess’s Mountain. Aboard are the twelve heirs of the provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.
All except one: Ganymedes Piscero—class clown, slacker and all-around disappointment.
When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people and without a Blessing to protect him, Ganymedes’s odds of survival are slim.
But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their secret Blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?
Or will the empire as he knows it fall?
A murder mystery read…..me? Me, reading a murder mystery??!
Oh it was such fun! Ganymedes aka pissfish aka Dee is an absolute joy!
Anyway 12 of the blessed are sailing to the Goddesses Mountain in Concordia but suddenly they start to be murdered, one by one.
Whodunit?! We have here:
~ Fantasy characters that were varied and unique ~ A magical ship ~ An all powerful emperor ~ Dee, a true, pure soul ~ Grasshopper 10/10 adorable ~ Humour and snark was top notch ~ Secrets and politics ~ A beautiful romance ~ A twist I never saw coming for a minute!

ARC Review – Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune Feature – September releases I’ve got my eye on
Teo never thought he could be a Hero. Now, he doesn’t have a choice.
The sun is gone, the Obsidian gods have been released from their prison, and now chaos and destruction are wreaking havoc on Reino del Sol. All because Teo refused to sacrifice a fellow semidiose during the Sunbearer Trials.
With the world plunged into perpetual night, Teo, Aurelio and Niya must journey to the dark wilderness of Los Restos, battling vicious monsters while dealing with guilt, trauma, and a (very distracting) burgeoning romance between Teo and Aurelio. Once more racing against the clock, the trio are determined to rescue the captured semidioses and retrieve the Sol Stone. With it, Sol and their protective light can return and order can be restored.
Now the future of the whole world is in their hands.
Back with Teo and the other semidioses right where we left off in book 1 with the Sol Stone taken.
So much action! My heart was in my throat because those horrible Obsidians were evil….and let’s not talk about Xio!
As in book 1, the descriptions in this book were so vivid it was almost like I was there. The tree houses are something I’d love to see in person. IYKYK!!!
I don’t want to say anything about the plot but what I will say is that Aurelio and Teo make my heart sing!
There was a couple of lines in this book that I couldn’t resist adding here:
Teo is so right: ‘It doesn’t make any sense to pay money to sleep outside without a real toilet and cook your food over an open fire!’
And this one got me right in the feels: ‘It may not be real in fact, but it’s real in feeling.’
And that ending that I never saw coming in million years, but what a corker!
