A Ship Of Bones and Teeth By Karina Halle (BLOG TOUR) (LITERALLY YOURS PR)


When it comes to the high seas, not all monsters lurk beneath the surface.


A Ship Of Bones & Teeth, an all-new gothic, dark fantasy romance, and retelling of The Little Mermaid from New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle is available now!


Princess Maren is a woman with a secret.

When she was just 16-years old, she sold her soul to the sea witch Edonia, giving up a life underwater in exchange for the love of Prince Aerik on land. 

But after a decade of abuse and misery inflicted by the cruel prince, Maren wants nothing more than to leave him and her royal role behind and find Edonia to reverse the spell.

An opportunity for escape presents itself when the prince and princess are traveling overseas and are taken hostage by a band of notorious pirates, led by the fearsome Captain Ramsay "Bones" Battista. 

Maren has heard the sordid stories about the infamous pirate--not only is his ship supposedly haunted and crewed by the damned, but that no prisoners ever survive. Fortunately for Maren, she learns that the captain also has a score to settle with the sea witch. 

With any luck, Maren may be able to get her old life back, even if it's being held in the captain's wicked hands.

But Ramsay gets more than he bargained for when he learns who--and what--Maren is, and that her appetite for revenge, freedom, and bloodlust rivals his.

Meanwhile Maren finds herself falling for the pirate's dark nature, even as she discovers that Ramsay has a secret more deadly than her own.


When it comes to the high seas, not all monsters lurk beneath the surface.

"You have my heart Maren, but do I have yours? Do I truly claim you in that way, more than just a brand on your hip, more than my possessiveness , more than just the way I join with your body? Are you willingly claimed? Do you give your heart to me in return?” She reaches up and touches my face lightly, a sweet smile on her lips. “Yes, I give you my heart, Ramsay.”


“I don’t know what you’ve done to me,” he says again, shaking his head slightly, awe in his gaze . “You’re more than the answer to my prayers. You’re the answer to prayers I never knew I had. You’re an enchantment , a treasure, a powerful curse in its own right and I am one hundred per cent under your spell.”


You are a stunning abyss of a creature…one that I could spend eons swimming in and never get to the bottom of."


“You’re a fever in my soul, for which there is no cure.”


“I make no false claims when it comes to you, luv, you belong to me body and soul, heart and spirit.”


"Some might say he speaks straight from the Devil but I'm discovering I like what the Devil has to say."


"Keep your hands on me, luv, I’ve been dying to be worshipped by you.”


I know I will only end up making her hate me more in the end. Our destiny is suited for monsters.
