Product Description
Product Description
Connor and Grace are twins, recently orphaned after their widowed father's death. Rather than being adopted by the town's busy-bodies, they decide to set sail for new pastures in their father's last single possession, his sailing boat. But a vicious storm sees their boat capsize and the twins separated. Two mysterious ships sail to their rescue - each picking up one twin before disappearing into the mist. Connor wakes to find himself on a pirate ship and is soon being trained up with a cutlass. Meanwhile Grace finds herself locked in a darkened room, as the vampirates await nightfall...Determined to find each other, yet intrigued by their new shipmates, the twins are about to embark on the biggest adventure of their life...

Pirates, vampires, some great fight scenes and a huge cliffhanger, what's not to like? Cheng Li rocks, Mulucco Wrathe is hilarious and Lorcan is literally drop dead gorgeous.

I adored this book and read it in one go. The mixture of vampires and pirates is complemented by Somper's brilliant characterisation and style. The two twins experiences are intertwined and the suspense on will they meet again is embroidered into this vibrant sensory portrayal of a futuristic pirate world. I'm 18 now but I'm sure any child who likes adventure will simply devour this book! I'm waiting with bated breath for the next book.

This is a first rate book, it's exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Once I picked the book up and started reading I couldn't put it down until I had finished reading the last page. It's one of those books you can read time after time and never lose interest. I love the way Justin Somper has developed the characters he made them very real. It is a book that would appeal to younger readers as well as the older reader. The second book Tide of terror is even better and I can't wait for the next two books. Well done. This is a brillient book.

Entertaining, realize it's a book for young people.
I must say, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The premise of vampires and pirates seemed cool but the title made me a bit nervous. No need. Read more
