I'm a strong fan of pirate movies, however, I wouldn't liken that to pirate books. I mean it's quite different to read and to see. But since this book has a great sense of imagery, then it may be worth my time after-all. Congratulations on the book of the day.

The way you have reviewed the book make me want to read it. I think it might be a very interesting book. Historical fiction coupled with action and romance, I'm definitely going to love it. I'm glad after everything Brandy had an uncle she could rely on. And I hope she chooses a good life. Great review.

This seems interesting. Although I've never read a book about pirates, this book seems to be worth checking out.

A fictional adventure story about pirates and curses seems fascinating! Thanks for the great review!

Brandy, Ballad of a Pirate Princess by Dan E. Hendrickson is about a girl raised by pirates. Brandy’s mother is the hot-tempered Scarlet Mistress, and her father is Captain Eric Erasmus, better known as “The Plague.” Both of Brandy’s parents have been pirates since before her birth on the Red Witch 15 years ago. First mate, Don Lomoche, kills Captain Erasmus after notifying Admiral Bennets of the Navy Fleet who the Scarlet Mistress is. Her mother’s real name was Katrina Mooney, who had killed her master after being sold into slavery when she was 13-years-old. Her master was King George’s cousin, and she has been on the run from execution ever since. Admiral Bennets prepares to hang her onboard her ship, but before he can, she curses the crew by telling them only her heir can release them from the Red Witch curse, flings herself overboard, and hangs herself. Brandy and her Uncle Skinner disguise themselves to blend in with the prisoners below deck and taken to Jamaica as slaves. Before her death, Brandy’s mother tells her she has two choices: she can either reclaim Red Witch or live life on land. Admiral Bennets gives Don Lomoche ownership of the Red Witch. What life does Bandy choose? Does she rightfully take back the Red Witch?

This is an interesting story with fascinating characters but totally fictional. I like the official review's summary and description of characters. I agree with the overall rating.

The story of Brandy being the daughter of pirates is enticing enough to read about. I would love to find out what choice she chooses; saving the Red witch or living on land.

I love historical fictions and becoming a pirate was a dream in my childhood! I loved reading the review and how the story flows between love, betrayal, cruelty and kindness. I would love to read this book definitely. Thanks for the review!!

I generally enjoy books about pirates, so I look forward to checking out this novel.

I just hope that Brandy makes the right decision as it seems she is facing a huge dilemma. The story sounds enthralling, and I like the vivid descriptions of the ocean travels and islands. Thanks for the informative review.

The title giving the prospect of female pirates really excited me. It also reminded me of the song 'Brandy (You're A Fine Girl).' Seeing as this was written by a white person, though, I'm really hoping that it was written with no disrespect to the Black or POC characters involved and their history of slavery.

I thought this book has quite an eye-catching cover. It’s great that the book carried lessons of love all the way through. It’s not for me, however, due to the gore and profanities. Thanks for an insightful review!
