Dead Reckoning A Caribbean Pirate Adventure Novel The Valkyrie Series Book 3 edition by Karen Perkins Literature Fiction eBooks

This is a fun read and takes the reader into the inner circles of the life of a freebooter pirate in the Caribbean in days of yore. There were those that operated in the slave trade which was abhorent to the pirates of the story as they were all about freedom to live as one chose and nobody chose slavery other than those that traded or sold slaves. Free and open elections of their crews including captains marked the pirates way of life. The story is a swashbuckling adventure tale and in the midst was a woman's yearning for freedom and revenge as she flees the abusive marriage of her slave trading husband. She decides on the pirate's lifestyle and is guided by a firebrand of a capitain that also had a reason for revenge of his own. They become part of a very twisted love story but it is tangled within the main story of the pirate's life. A rather novel view of brigands but entertaining nevertheless.

Dead Reckoning A Caribbean Pirate Adventure Novel The Valkyrie Series Book 3 edition by Karen Perkins Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I loved this book as much as book 2, it picked up Gabriella's story, if you read book 2 first as I did, and you learned about Leo and his passion.
This is an outstanding pirate story. Characters are great and the story is developing well. I can't wait to read what's next.
I could taste the salt on my lips, hear the creaking of rigging and the wind hitting the sails and feel the Caribbean sun warm my face as I read this wonderful book by K.A. Perkins. Smart, well researched and oh so very readable, this is a great tale of romance on the high seas.

Leo takes to the pirate life years after watching his mother's brutal murder at the hands of a trio of ruthless pirates. Gabriella flees to a ship filled with a cargo of slaves in order to escape her abusive husband. They meet when the slave ship is captured by Leo, who is now the captain of his own pirate vessel. But before, during and after that meeting there are battles galore, not just with other ships, but with fierce storms at sea. I found myself fascinated with the nautical terminology and descriptions of maneuvers made by the various ships and the men manning them. The author's impressive knowledge and love of sailing shines throughout every word.

The writing is first rate as is the knowledge and research framing it. Leo and Gabriella are both strong willed characters who are obviously meant to be together. There are some delightful minor characters as well, several of whom I would have like to seen given more of a storyline. My one complaint with this novel is that it is written in a dual first person narrative which, for me, slowed the action with a little too much introspection. But that's a minor complaint. I can highly recommend Dead Reckoning to anyone who loves a bit of pirate treasure.
I totally enjoyed reading "Dead Reckoning", It was a non stop adventure with plausible characters, historical content, and situations that any seafaring person recognize. The pirates life was not a life of ease and was lived for the moment and "Dead Reckoning" captured that aspect of their lives. I was well entertained by this book! I can see sequels coming from Dead Reckoning.
Loved the pirates and loved the ship's. You feel their terror and their joys with action as vivid in any pirate scene. If you have never sailed don't fear the verbiage of the sea. You are on these ship's and feel every cutlass slash and every cannonball impact. You cheer for the pirates and feel the pains of their life as they search for their lost freedoms. The stink of the ship holds and the smells of the sea fill every page of this action thriller. You will both love and hate Leo but understand his conflicts throughout the book. Well written and worthy of your time spent reading.
Pretty good pirate book. I'm not too crazy for the heroine, though. She wants independence and to be treated as an equal to men, but when she violates the rules and gets hit by a man she gets mad and pouts and takes off..... Any male pirate under the same circumstances would be lucky to get away with less than being killed. She whines too much about her past abuse at the hands of a sadistic husband! You either want to be treated equal and take your medicine like the rest of the pirates crew or shut up and stay a landlubber! Leo didn't do anything but rescue her from a horrid life!
That said, it's a fun read with lots of action and I plan to read the next in this series.
Dead Reckoning is a historical, action, adventure, romance set in the Caribbean in the 17th century. It involves main characters Leo Santiago and Gabriella Berryngton "van Ecken" whose vastly different lives lead them down the same path to each other. Gabriella is subject to horrendous abuse at the hands of her husband, Erik, whom she was forced to marry at just fourteen. Leo witnessed the murder of his mother at the hands of Erik's men, pirates Blake and Hornigold. Leo swears vengeance against those responsible for his mother's death and becomes the pirate captain of a ship himself. Gabriella bravely runs away from her abusive husband with her only friend in the world, slave Klara. Eventually, Leo and Gabriella's paths cross when Leo `s ship commandeers a slave ship. From there, Leo and Gab riella's relationship quickly blossoms into love, a love united by their quest to vanquish Erik and his men.

A former sailor herself, Ms. Perkins has vast knowledge of sailing. In fact, I found myself awed by her knowledge, beautiful storytelling, and knack for wonderful, period-appropriate dialogue. All of the characters in Dead Reckoning were wonderfully developed and it was clear that a lot of attention was paid to detail. I particularly enjoyed Gabriella's transformation from a battered, meek woman to a fearless pirate captain who commands respect from her crew.

On top of the sweet romance that develops between Leo and Gabriella, Dead Reckoning is rife with action and suspense. There are numerous battle scenes, both on land and at sea, and between other pirates and the elements. Each battle is action-packed, full of suspense and leaves you at the edge of your seat, a feat that isn't as easy to pull off as it sounds.

Overall, Dead Reckoning is an excellent read and I look forward to reading the other books in Ms. Perkins' series.
