Beschreibung
This world of sea and storm runs deep with bargains and blood.
On the remote isle of Rosevear, Mira, like her mother before her, is a wrecker, one of the seven on the rope who swim out to shipwrecks to plunder them. Mira’s job is to rescue survivors, if there are any. After all, she never feels the cold of the frigid ocean waters and the waves seem to sing to her soul. But the people of Rosevear never admit the truth: that they set the beacons themselves to lure ships into the rocks.
When the Council watch lays a trap to put an end to the wrecking, they arrest Mira’s father. Desperate to save him from the noose, Mira strikes a deal with an enigmatic wreck survivor guarding layers of secrets behind his captivating eyes, and sets off to find something her mother has left her, a family secret buried deep in the sea.
With just nine days to find what she needs to rescue her father, all Mira knows for certain is this: The sea gives. The sea takes. And it’s up to her to do what she must to save the ones she loves.

It started off well enough. A little confusing because it lacked world building but after a while I found my way. My problem wasn't the writing style either. I got the story easily enough. But the way it unfolded... Most twists I saw coming from a mile away and I'm sorry to say this but Mira (I literally just closed the book and her name is already one I needed to look up) is dumb (Trusting someone just because this person told you that you could? Thathad me laugh out loud.) and otherwise simply 'flat'. I don't know how else to describe it. She just stayed on the page and when I wasn't mad about her being dumb,I just didn't care. No character made me root for them and the only one to spark a little interest was Elijah. If there will be a second book (the ending kind of implied there's more story to be told), I won't be reading it. But if you like stories playing out on the sea with a side of magic, just try if this one is for you!
