Blackhearts by Nicole Castroman

1.0

I really didn’t care for this book. I read the author’s note at the end and then it clicked: “ah, this is just Blackbeard fanfiction.” Which explains why is was so simply written and full of clichés. I think a lot of key points were really forced, like Anne being a thief and the racial “woke-ness.” It just was so choppy and unnatural. What I was hoping would be a sexy YA romance version of Pirates of the Caribbean was actually just a boring story about classism and racism and a crappy love trope.
