\"\"<\/a>The Heart of the Banshee by Carolyn Elizabeth<\/b><\/span> is a swashbuckling romance featuring two women who are soulmates too long separated.<\/p>\n

After fifteen years apart from her first love, Julia Farrow has just been hired as the purser on Captain Branna Kelly\u2019s ship the Banshee. Their love is as strong as ever, but now that they\u2019re together again they are tested by new trials. Branna fears for Julia\u2019s safety, as she has not lived the dangerous life of a pirate until now. They both fear their effect on the other, and wonder if it\u2019s good for them to be near despite their love.<\/p>\n

Branna is somewhat at loose ends, having finally gotten the revenge she sought for so long, but she and the crew very quickly become embroiled in a new venture. The biggest question isn\u2019t will the women be able to make their relationship work, but will they live to sail another day?<\/p>\n

Writing<\/b><\/h3>\n

After a very quick introduction the book immediately dives into action, with a rousing sword fight. The entire first half of the book has enough daring do to carry the second half and then some more, but the book remains taut and thrilling to the end. The cast of characters is diverse and the adventures are scary, bloody and thrilling, as a reader would expect from a tale of eighteenth century high seas adventure.<\/p>\n

The author gives the main characters realistic emotional traumas to deal with, rather than involved action with gruesome deaths followed by life going on as normal. This grounding makes the main characters all the more relatable to a reader. The action sequences themselves are always well portrayed, playing out on the page like a good movie.<\/p>\n

Pros And My Favourite Parts<\/b><\/h3>\n

This book really does read like an extended treatment for a great pirate movie. It\u2019s got a tough but loving captain and a taut crew always ready for a sea battle. There is a lot of action that puts everyone in danger and requires strength and bravery to overcome. What I didn\u2019t expect and actually had me on the edge of my seat was when the story takes a turn toward creepy. This book is not for the faint of heart, but is worth the nail biting.<\/p>\n

Something this author always does is pay attention to the emotional toll on a person after they are immersed in violent situations. I consider this one of the strengths of all the author\u2019s works. Another is an inevitable dive into power dynamics of two strong women who love each other but remain not quite totally convinced their relationship is solid. These are realistic concerns and creates awesome characters for the reader to fall in love with.<\/p>\n

Shout out to the cover artist. I don\u2019t normally mention that, but this one is outstanding.<\/p>\n

Heads Up<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s pirates. There are stabby and gory deaths.<\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n

Years before, Branna Kelly was presumed lost and her lover Julia Farrow mourned her death. Now reunited, the two face adventures together as the captain and purser of the Banshee. This is a sequel to The Raven and the Banshee<\/i>, full of swashbuckling adventures, colorful characters, and an endearing love between two women who worry they aren\u2019t quite right for the other.<\/p>\n

There are thrills on the high seas in this eighteenth century adventure, and also a surprisingly creepy section that had me on the edge of my seat. The author makes a point of depicting the emotional toll violence will have on a person, and is one of the ways characters are fleshed out and made even move loveable.<\/p>\n

Excerpt from <\/b><\/span>The Heart of the Banshee by Carolyn Elizabeth<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cMy sister did mention a new ship in the area out of Tortuga, the Ferryman. Captain Isaac Shaw, I believe. He\u2019s had some people on edge with his crew causing problems in town and in the bar. She really didn\u2019t go into too much detail.\u201d<\/p>\n

Branna nodded. \u201cSounds like we need to introduce ourselves to Captain Shaw.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSounds like,\u201d Gus agreed with a wry smile.<\/p>\n

Conversation quieted for a moment until Oliver piped up again. \u201cMy cousin, Bridget, will be pleased to see you, Captain. She\u2019s been worried about you and wanted to come to Nassau, but my father wouldn\u2019t allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gus coughed into his drink and Gen glared at him, a thump beneath the table suggested she may have kicked him. Merri grinned at Branna who stared wide-eyed at Oliver, her mouth agape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s Bridget?\u201d Julia asked, sensing the obvious tension.<\/p>\n

No one answered and when she looked around, everyone found something to busy themselves with.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack,\u201d Branna blurted, \u201cwill you be ready to start working with Julia tomorrow morning?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Captain. Looking forward to it.\u201d Branna turned back to Oliver.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for joining us, Mr. Swansborough. If you hear from your sister before we sail, please, let me know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliver had been dismissed and rose to leave. \u201cYes, Captain, I will.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho is Bridget?\u201d Julia snapped.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re done here,\u201d Branna said. Gus and Jack stood so fast to leave their chairs nearly tipped over and they were gone in a mad scramble.<\/p>\n
