At the SW sea, turn your back to the inn
lies the key, Across the way.
Stay and it will lead ye, True to the marker
to set the treasure free, At last to dig in sand.

In the mid 1600's, when King Charles I reigned England and pirates controlled the seas, twins separated at birth are reunited under dire circumstances in the sleepy town of Port de Couler de Bateaux, Port of Sinking Ships. Jacqueline and Alexandria settle into the Midway Zebra inn with their new surrogate parents, innkeepers Jemima and Fred Bumbleridge. Eight years later, the inn burns to the ground, taking the beloved Bumbleridges with it. The twins are abandoned once more, but their guardians have left something to remember them by. Two small bags of gold, two cloaks, two flintlocks, and two gold lockets.

A riddle is inscribed on each locket, finishing not only a tale of piracy but also opening a door to the girls' mysterious past. Partnered with a thief, a butler, and a wannabe Viking, the two sail across the ocean in search of answers. Together the twins discover that not everyone is who they seem, and sometimes things take a turn for the worse especially when there is Treachery at Martinique Isle.

Review

The story keeps you guessing, in a good way. I enjoyed the theme of the book as it was something different. I loved how the sisters stayed together throughout every problem they faced and faced it all together. You will also meet a lot of different characters that are well developed and I have a few that are my favorites. It has everything a book needs, suspense, mystery, romance and it is chalk full of comedy. It also has an underlying message of `go for what you believe in'. This is a must read! - Cassie Hoffman of Cynthia Shepp Book Reviews and Editing

Rachel Cherie's Treachery at Martinique Isle (Daughters of the High Seas) was a fun, all around great book to read. Reading this book myself, I was caught up in it. Not only is it a grammatically well-written book, Rachel is able to sweep you off your feet and give you, the reader, borderline homesickness. Her attention to detail is remarkable. I felt the rocking of the ship, I could hear the waves, and I could see the characters clearly. All of them were unique, and they became great effortlessly. Rachel's book was worth the time I spent reading, and I enjoyed every word I read. Everything is an adventure, making you grasp for the book at every free moment you have available. You'll always feel the character's thoughts, bear the hardship of the seven seas, and questions that linger, making this book pretty much irresistible. Rachel was able to grasp my attention quite quickly; her words and detail is spot on. She was able to nail the pirate - feel of things, and I truly recommend this, even if pirates don't necessarily "float your boat". It's a fun read, the characters are easy to connect with, and each cliffhanger keeps you wanting more. I never really read pirate books, but this being my first one, I was impressed. I loved it, and I'm excited for the next book in her Daughters of the High Seas series. You should definitely plan on picking up this book, it's worth every bit off seasickness and secrets held within. - Emma Nicholas of Blackbird LSD

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare to set sail for Martinique Isle
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2013
A familiar creak of a swaying ship at sea echoes in your ears as you stand by the railing and gaze out at the luminous sea. Waves splash into the front of the boat as you sail towards your destination. Your twin sister Alex stands beside you, smiling brightly. You think about home, about Captain Taylor... about the Zebras of Africa. The word Zebra brings a smile to your face. You turn around watching your crew busily keep the boat going. The sails flap in the salty smelling breeze. The breeze blows again, dancing with your hair. Sitting on the floor of the ship, you pull out the riddle and quizzically stare at the words below you, a sigh escapes your lips. You're trying to make sense of it. Bill, your curious, feathery companion nuzzles your neck, and you giggle giving him a scratch on the head. You look back down at the pouches spread before you and grab the biggest one. Shaking the pouch, your stunning flintlock pistol falls out, along with the bag of ammunition. A small smile creases across your lips and you put everything back into their places. Suddenly, the ship lurches to a halt and stops. You spring up in surprise and see Alex beaming. Land, ho.

REVIEW BY CASSIE HOFFMAN FOR CYNTHIA SHEPP BOOK REVIEWS AND EDITING

Treachery at Martinique Isle (Daughter of the High Seas: Book 1) is an adventure; a treasure hunting, pirate fighting, riddle-solving read. The book follows Jacqueline Luray Taylor, who goes by Jacq, and her twin, Alexandria Luray Thorpe, who goes by Alex. The girls find out they are twins after arriving to the same inn called Midway Zebra. Each of the girls stay at the inn and is looked after by the owners, Jemima and Fred Bumbleridge. Jacq's guardian, Captain Taylor, ended up leaving to make money, but never came back. Alex's ends up dying at the inn from a sickness. The girls grow up and help around the inn and the Bumbleridge's think of them both as daughters and love them just the same. Jacq and Alex both have matching golden lockets that were given to them by Jemima and Fred. Each of the girls has a unique pet. Jacq has a parrot named Big Beak Bill, and Alex has a monkey named Frankincense, Frank for short. They offer comedy throughout the book.
The inn ends up on fire, with the girls inside. They go to look for Jemima and Fred, but when they find them they will not leave. They give the girls each a bag and tell them to run. The girls can't believe they won't come, but finally they leave. On their way out they see a pirate who is screaming for Black Fred and Gold Jem. They run for fear of their lives. While running they find their friend Miata, who is the town thief. He helps put them up in a shelter. While there Jacq and Alex finally look through each of their bags and each have very similar letters. In the letters there are riddles that they must solve.
Miata tells them they know someone who can help with the riddles and that's when they meet Geoffry Pierce, who is an eccentric character. He will help them but only if he can go with them. He funds the boat for the trip and they set sail for the treasure.

While on the boat they come across a Madam McLoflin, who was stuck at sea, after a pirate raided her boat and took a girl name Amy. McLoflin is Amy's governess and is distraught about Amy being taken. McLoflin also knows more than she wants to let on. She knows that Amy means something to the girls, something special. She also knows one more thing about the girls...they aren't the orphans they think they are. Join them on their adventure of finding themselves, finding a family, and maybe finding a little romance along the way...

Treachery at Martinique Isle (Daughters of the High Seas: Book 1) is a very easy read. I kept hurrying so I could turn the page and find out the next mystery as well as solve the current one I was on. The story keeps you guessing, in a good way. I enjoyed the theme of the book as it was something different. I loved how the sisters stayed together throughout every problem they faced and faced it all together. You will also meet a lot of different characters that are well developed and I have a few that are my favorites. It has everything a book needs, suspense, mystery, romance and it is chalk full of comedy. It also has an underlying message of `go for what you believe in'. This is a must read! I give it 4 stars!

QUOTES FROM THE BOOK:
"Do not speak so of my sister, or I shall use your own swords to silence you!"

"What is it with you? Both of you! Both of my sisters falling for thieves!"

"You never know the end until you arrive, and then it matters not what the end shall be because you are there.
