ARC Review: UNDER BLACK SKIES (Beneath Black Sails #3) by Clare Sager

UNDER BLACK SKIES (Beneath Black Sails #3)
Release Date: May 25, 2021

About the book:
Enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies. Now they’re ‘just friends.’ Sure.

Reunited with her crew, Vice is on the hunt for Drake’s treasure. But there’s a good reason it hasn’t been seen in two hundred years – it’s hidden by fiendish clues and deadly traps. To keep her crew – her family safe, she can’t afford a single misstep. That’s easier said than done with a distraction like Knigh Blackwood around. 

Knigh might not sail for the Navy anymore, but he’s found a new place in the world – home with Vice on the Venatrix. Even as he longs for more than ‘just friends’, he battles with demons from his past and one from his present. To save his family, he needs money. Lots of it. A legendary treasure would be the perfect solution. 

But traps and troublesome feelings aren’t the only dangers they face. When treachery strikes at the heart of pirate-kind, no one is safe: not their home, not Knigh’s family, not even the Pirate Queen herself. 

If you love the banter of From Blood and Ash and the steamy romance of A Court of Silver Flames, you’ll love this new adult fantasy series that fans are calling sexy and intense. 

Download UNDER BLACK SKIES today and set sail on an adventure where tentacles lurk in the deep, half a map leads the way, and even treasure isn’t what it seems.




Rating: 4 of 5 stars

WHAT THE F- WAS THAT?! 

You are an evil genius for doing this to me, Clare Sager. 

Before adding anything else I just wanna say Knigh Blackwood deserves all the dreamy sigh. *cue swoon* 

I know I don't say it enough so I'm saying it again- I'm OBSESSED with these books! Pirates, swashbuckling adventure and excitement, monsters, magic, swoony romance (it's steamy just sayin'), lovable cast of characters, and an adventure-filled treasure hunt... what more could you ask for? Under Black Skies has it all! 

I don't know why but I was a bit scared for a moment there with Saba. I'm still feeling meh about FitzRoy but he's (really) slowly growing on me. I think it was great to see Billy again. Perry's still my favorite. Barnacle (and kittens) equals ADORABLE! And I still think we don't get enough of Knigh playing guitar. I. need. more. 

I'm gonna try not to say too much to avoid spoiling anything but I love how the author handled Vice and Knigh's relationship. Suffice it to say, it has gone a long way from that first meeting in the ball when there were still a lot of lies and secrets and deception between them. They have both grown so much (individually and together) and it shows. Ugh, I LOVE these two! <3 

One thing this installment proves? Clare Sager always delivers. I have so much love for this series!

Give me book four! 

"She was sunshine, even here in such a bright, bright place." 

"Even if his answer might be no. Because the chance it could be yes was worth the risk." 

"Each part of him pulled towards her, like he was a compass point and she was north. Did that make her his course, his guiding point?" 

I received an ARC to read and review.
