Sometimes our enemies are also our only allies…

After an explosion destroys his ship, the world believes Prince Merik, Windwitch, is dead. Scarred yet alive, Merik is determined to prove his sister’s treachery. Upon reaching the royal capital, crowded with refugees, he haunts the streets, fighting for the weak—which leads to whispers of a disfigured demigod, the Fury, who brings justice to the oppressed.

When the Bloodwitch Aeduan discovers a bounty on Iseult, he makes sure to be the first to find her—yet in a surprise twist, Iseult offers him a deal. She will return money stolen from him, if he locates Safi. Now they must work together to cross the Witchlands, while constantly wondering, who will betray whom first?

After a surprise attack and shipwreck, Safi and the Empress of Marstok barely escape with their lives. Alone in a land of pirates, every moment balances on a knife’s edge—especially when the pirates’ next move could unleash war upon the Witchlands.

Last time I answered all of the questions, but due to mass amounts of homework and stress, I'm only going to answer two.

7. Who is your favorite character in the first book and why?

Eleanor, of course!!! I love how she's so sassy and independent. She's not afraid to do what other people tell her not to do. I also love her comebacks for when she bickers with Daniel. I love their banter!! *swoons*

 
8. How would you convince your friends to read this book?
Well, if they're my friend, they'll read it because I tell them too!
Badass girl who helps fight zombies with 19th century Ghostbusters!

Who ya gonna call!? SPIRIT HUNTERS!!

I'm not sure if I'll reread the second and third book too, as it depends on how much time I have. I'd at least like to reread some of my favorite scenes. If you haven't read this series, or the sequels, you NEED TO! It's an amazing trilogy and it's one of my favorites!

1. How do you think you would react to the Dead walking around in your city?
I'm pretty sure I'd run and hide and would let everyone else be attacked. I don't wanna die!
 
2. What do you think about the Dead? Are you glad it isn't too Zombie-ish, or were you hoping for a more Zombie-esque theme?
I thought that it was the perfect amount of Zombie! Not too gross, but not too wimpy!
 
3. How do you feel about Eleanor as a character?
She's one of my favorite female characters! She's towards the very top of my list! She's very independent. She knows what she wants to do, yet she also takes into consideration what is best for her family and those she cares about.
 
4. What was your first impression of Daniel Sheridan? Joseph Boyer?
I thought that Daniel was a jerk, but he eventually grew on me. Swoon! I really like Joseph. I saw him as a very smart, almost paternal figure. Maybe it was because he is so well put together and confident?
 
5. What was your favorite part of the first half of the book and why?
I loved how Eleanor and Daniel met. It wasn't love at first sight. It was almost like distaste at first sight. But I love how they learn to get along.
 
6. If you haven't read this before (or already finished it), what are you theories for the second half of the book OR even the rest of the series?
I have already finished this series, so I feel like I shouldn't say anything! *Zips mouth shut and makes muffled noises*
 
7. Bonus: Share with us some of your favorite quotes!
"Miss Fitt, you know curiosity gets men killed."
I grinned. "Then I daresay it's good I'm a woman."
This was my Twitter #SSaD quote today! Isn't sassy Eleanor sassy!?
