You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.

I'm your host Liberty Hardy, and I'm little in the middle, but I've got much backlist.

This is episode 248.5, and today I'm going to talk about a couple of great backlist titles.

Hello, I am very excited about the books I'm going to talk about today.

Yes, I am excited about the books every week, but one of these books I specifically read for the show, I just finished reading it yesterday,

I loved it as much as I hoped I would, and I'm going to tell you about it right after a word from our sponsor.

This episode is sponsored by Vengeance of the Pirate Queen by Tricia Lovinseller.

As an assassin working for the Pirate Queen, Surinda is surprised when her new task is to captain a hand-picked crew on a rescue mission.

Unfortunately, her Sailing Master is Kiran, and though he may be the best Helmsman the Pirate Queen has,

Surinna finds him a real pain. As the crew of the vengeance faces dangerous waters

and deadly sea creatures, they accidentally kind of sort of awaken the king of the undersea, a being who can control the dead.

I hate when that happens.

The rescue mission quickly turns into a fight to save the world, but first, Surrenda

must save herself from becoming an undead queen.

This book had me at the title, Vengeance, Pirates. Great, I'm sold.

But it's also being described as being very Pirates of the Caribbean meets the mummy and look look sign me up twice. We've got adventure,

we've got a swoon worthy romance, a very kind of banter-filled hate to love thing going on between

Surinda and Kiran. Sounds right up my alley and probably up yours.

Thank you once again to Vengeance of the Pirate Queen by Tricia Love and Seller for sponsoring today's show.

Make sure you pick that up wherever books are sold.

Today's episode is brought to you by Gallery Books.

I'm super excited to talk about this next one.
