![]() ![]() He only knows how to punish and cause pain. The Viper is as evil and ruthless as they come and although Marianne is his daughter, he has never shown her any love or understanding. She is the daughter of the Viper - the deadliest Pirate Captain on the seas and the 'supposed' defender of the Twelve Isles. The first in the Isles of Storm and Sorrow trilogy (oh thank goodness that there will be more!), the story follows the main character of 17 year old Marianne. ![]() It's one of the BEST books I've read so far this year and one that I'm going to be begging everyone else to read too. It gripped and entranced me from start to finish and my only criticism is that it wasn't twice the number of pages, so that I could have prolonged my enjoyment. It conjured up the salty smell of the sea, the tang of spilt blood and the taste of danger. I loved, loved, loved, loved, loved it! A fantasy pirate adventure, it delivered everything I want in a book and more. If I hadn't become a librarian then maybe life upon the high seas would have beckoned! I tell you this because it helps to explain my absolute obsession with 'Viper' by Bex Hogan. I've had an obsession with all things pirate related ever since I first watched the film Cutthroat Island and saw Geena Davis as a take-no-prisoners female pirate, on a quest for buried treasure. ![]()
