Merciless Waters by Rae Knowles

My Review Thank you @zooloosBt for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Mercliess Waters is a very different book to what I normally read. This is a short read and is an erotic horror fiction. The story is about Jaq and Lily, and they are aboard a ship called the Scylla. There is no future or past on this ship and it's full of women and then a Man comes on and things start to change. This is a fast-paced read that you will not be able to put down. There are lots of twist and turns, that has a bit of horror, love, and sex entwine through the book. I feel you go on an adventure with Jaq and Lilly, and I was rooting for them. I like the story, it's a quirky read. Merciless Waters is a quick, sharp read that will leave you thinking about it hours after 4 stars.

Jaq, her fickle lover Lily, and their all-female crew exist in an endless present. It's better this way. At least it keeps Lily by Jaq's side, where she belongs. But the meddling gods care little for Jaq's longing, and despite her protective rituals, their punishment arrives all the same: A man, adrift on the open ocean. Delivered to snatch Lily from Jaq's arms forever. Jaq knows what to do. She's lost Lily before. Her lover will return when this interloper, this distraction, is snuffed out. But Jaq's murderous schemes may not be enough. The intruder's presence infects her crew with a plague her spells cannot cure: memory. And as the women recall how they came to Scylla, their minds bend one by one towards revenge.
