Fantasy
Date Published: May 9, 2014
   
Spawned from an ancient promise, treachery and intrigue follow the protagonists through our world and one lost to the waves. Bound by an invisible bond, they are thrust into a fantastical world of pirates and demons.
James Benedict is a just man haunted by evil. Pushed to the edge, everything stripped from him, a new man arises . . . a man whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it: "Captain Hook".
Eileen Davis was a timid woman. Through a fateful cruise she finds herself in the company of the Captain of the Mistral Thief. With his guidance, and the meddling of the local barista, she eventually finds her inner strength.
Will the two of them unite through time to fulfill the promise of their ancestors or will tempers ignite leading all to failure?


My Review
I love novels that draw inspiration from classic fairytales and spin them into something you never could have imagined. That is what Elizabeth Lost has done in Second on the Right.

The detail in this novel is wonderful and really lets the reader feel like they are in the world Los has created. The deeper personalities of the characters is something I really enjoyed as well.

There was mystery and intrigue throughout and even some great twists. A wonderful read.



Elizabeth uses writing as therapy, her release from everyday stress. At night, after work and once the children are finally tucked in bed, for the fifth time, she sits at her laptop and lets her imagination flow.

Elizabeth has produced short stories, one of which will be published in an anthology. She’s had fun writing a Sherlock Holmes fan fiction story, A Case of Need, based on the BBC’s Sherlock. By July 2011, her first novel, Second on the Right, had been completed. She spent several years polishing the story in order to provide a high quality product to the public. Second on the Right is her first professional novel.

  1. Thank you for the kind review and for posting! I've been asking each blogger: what would you want your pirate name to be?
