All was still and silent save the distant screech of a wild merlin soaring above Tempest and the crashing of waves from beyond the cliffs. The boy seemed to fit in with wild things yet was a contrast to them. There was nothing in nature quite like him, yet everything in it acknowledged his presence. Looking at him was like looking into the face of the sea.

She was made of wild, tangled weeds, thorny flowers and berries, and hunting, scavenging animals. But when she looked at those she loved, she was also the soft feather in the nest, the pillowing cotton grass, and the sweet song of a newborn chick.
Tempest Cursed by K.C. Lannon
I drew my babies! Hake and Pearl are the protagonists of my novel Tempest Cursed: A Wuthering Heights Retelling. Hake is a Selkie-like creature called a Deep Dweller, and he’s a mix of Heathcliff and Harton. Pearl is a wild child who is a mix of Catherine and Cathy II.
Short blurb:
When Pearl searches for answers after her mother’s presumed drowning, she finds a boy with magic, Hake, instead. Their bond is tested when his monstrous nature is revealed and when the decaying sea-dwelling god who raised him seeks revenge on the island.
The book is out now if you want to read it!
Tempest Cursed: A Wuthering Heights retelling by K.C. Lannon
All in all, a solid 4⭐ read. The book titles itself a Wuthering Heights retelling but it reads more like it was heavily inspired by it. Not a bad thing but having read my copy of Wuthering Heights so much that it fell apart, this feels much more like a story inspired by it. The characters are well done and invoke Catherine and Heathcliff strongly. Pearl and Hake are very solid characters who inhabit the story beautifully. Taking place on the cursed island of Moon Tithe, it's a dark, gothic tale complete with an Eldritch monstrosity. A curse was laid down by the Old Gods, the Deep Dwellers, of which there is only one left. And while I really loved this, the mythos of the Old Gods isn't ever fully explained. We don't learn more about them, just a bit about the one who is left. Hake is a boy hurt by the Old One, the last Deep Dweller who escapes and meets Pearl. Watching them grow up was amazing. It felt good to read. I will say however, that any time there was a kiss it fell flat for me. There's also the issue of pacing. This book was impossible for me to put down for the first 55%. Then it became a bit of a slog. The pacing would slow down, pick up, slow down. It was a bit off putting at times. When we get descriptions of things they're done well and you really do get to see it well and feel immersed in it, especially when the pacing is up. There was one instance however, where I sort of felt let down as a reader. It was a moment where an important revelation was made and the characters "just knew". It cheapened the reading experience for me in that moment. Almost all of the characters are really well done and their relationships work. There was no hamfisting two characters to make time seem genuine around each other. A fun read I could see myself recommending to a few people.
