Vampirates: Demons of the Ocean

Vampirates: Demons of the Ocean

By Justin Somper

"Twins, Connor and Grace, never dreamed that there was any truth to the Vampirate shanty their father sang to them before he died, but that was before the two were shipwrecked and separated from each other. For Connor, who is taken aboard a pirate ship, there's the chance to learn to swordfight, but for Grace, aboard a mysterious ship of vampire pirates, the danger is great. What will it take for them to find each other?" Courtesy of Goodreads

I first came across this book when pirates and vampires were becoming all the rage in my world. What better than pick up a book about both?

Poor Connor and Grace Tempest! We start out the book with them losing everything from their father to their home. They set on a very dangerous journey which automatically turns for the worse. Luckily, they are rescued, but they are separated. Connor finds himself swept up in the wonderful life of being a pirate. At this point, I adore Connor and the rag-tag group of pirates. I love that they try to make him feel better despite everything that has happened!

Grace is found in a much different situation. She is swept into the life of the Vampirates. In a way, Grace is in much more danger than Connor. I love Lorcan. He has been trying so hard to protect Grace, but she finds her way into trouble. The Captain and Darcy are great. The ship seems full of good people with one big exception. Sidorio the arrogant ass. I was so torn when Connor and Grace became reunited. I wanted them to be safe together, but I didn't want her to leave Lorcan!
