ARC Review - The Last Leviathan by Anacostia Miller

 Thank you so much Anacostia Miller for sending me this ARC via Netgalley!

Title: The Last Leviathan
Author: Anacostia Miller
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Series: The Guardians of Farlight Islands (book #1)
Pages: 397

Synopsis:

Maeve Cross never felt like a princess. She didn’t belong in a high tower, married off to the highest bidder. She ached for freedom. A longing for the sea that she didn’t understand. After being pushed over the edge, she runs, taking her destiny in her own hands for the first time in her life.

She stows away on a pirate ship because she would rather walk the plank than share her awful husband’s bed.

Captain Leviathan has three goals in keep his crew alive, fill their pockets, and protect them from the Cross family of tyrants. He never accounted for Maeve. Not once.

They can’t help themselves by the bonds of fate that tie them together. Not even as they deny each other their attraction.

After all, a tyrant’s daughter and a scorned captain couldn’t possibly work. Could it?

But fate has other plans as the mysteries surrounding Farlight Isles start to unravel like a loose thread. Every new thread leaves Maeve questioning everything her father taught her as it challenges her own identity.

Despite it all, Maeve saw that the only constant…was Captain Leviathan.


Review & thoughts:

The Last Leviathan is the first book in a new Fantasy Romance series and the debut book from Anacostia Miller and OMG I did not expect it to be so freaking good, I’m obsessed with Mae and Levi’s story! 

When princess Maeve is forced to marry a cruel man she hates, she stows away on a ship in hopes to escape and get the freedom she always wanted. But it quickly turns out that the ship she chose is actually full of pirates and her future lies in the hands of the handsome but aggravating Captain Leviathan. Despite their scorching chemistry, Mae and Levi bicker like no other, but when secrets and hidden identities come to light, they will need to quickly make difficult decisions regarding their lives… and their hearts. 

The Last Leviathan is everything I love in fantasy romance books, we have pirates, mythological creatures, morally grey MMC, strong FMC not afraid to fight for her future and enemies to lovers romance with amazing banter and spicy scenes that had me blushing, I couldn’t put this book down and already can’t wait for the next one. Mae and Levi were amazing MCs, both individually and as a couple and I loved every scenes with these two, they both went through a lot and grew in this book and I adored their slow burn romance and loved seeing them together when they finally gave in to their feelings. All the characters were well fleshed out and I loved all the crew, especially Howler, Gunny, Boats and Wraith and can’t wait to see them again. The author created a truly fascinating world filled with some interesting creatures and there was so much action and some plot twists in this book it was a true page-turner. 

The Last Leviathan is a truly incredible fantasy romance book that I definitely recommend to everyone who enjoys this genre, book 2 can’t come soon enough!
