Salted
Salt #1
by Aaron Galvin
Goodreads blurb: Life isn't better under the sea. Lenny Dolan
is all too familiar with this reality. A Selkie slave in the realm beneath the
waves, he has no choice when charged with leading a crew ashore to capture an
elusive runaway. If unsuccessful, the loved ones kept behind will pay for his
failure with their lives. But when their target leads Lenny and his crew to
deeper, darker secrets, the Selkies are faced with a moral dilemma. Secure
their own freedom at the expense of others, or return empty-handed to face the grisly
consequences? How Lenny and his crew answer the question will teach them the
harshest truth of all. Only through the loss of innocence does one become
Salted.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5
Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
The
cover is beautiful! I love that it is
simply a seal in the water :)
I
stumbled onto this book and thought it sounded cool, so I bought it. The author contacted me about a week later
asking if I wanted a review copy. I
explained that I already bought it, and I would definitely review it once I
read it. :) Of course, the rest of you are lucky, it is
FREE now :)
This
story is really amazing and creative.
Being able to write is amazing all by itself, but wow!! When I started reading, I will admit that I
was a little lost. I’m not sure what
caused my confusion exactly, but I think it was switching perspectives while I
was still trying to figure out this new and unusual world. Everything did clear up, and this world is
awesome.
This
book has so much going on with slavery, bullying, camaraderie, friendships, murder,
and even kindness mixed into the harshness.
Lenny is a fair amount of good mixed into the bad like most real
people. I really like his snarky attitude
as well as his friends. I really don’t
want to give anything away, but I like Garrett, Chidi, Lenny and his crew. Oscar is rotten and spoiled; he is
pretentious and thinks he is entitled.
This
is a fantastic first book in a series, and I really think it going to get
better and better :) I have already
bought book 2 because I want to know what happens next, so be watching for that
review in the future :)
I
recommend this book to the ocean dreamers who believe in underwater fantasies
especially if you are into ocean shifters :)
I can’t wait to read more of this world :) It is free, so what are you waiting for :)
