This was a fantastic adventure set in the revolutionary time period with the magical twist of immortal pirates and witches playing a role in the political aspects of bringing about war in the colonies. As Charleston is one of my favorite cities to visit, I found the setting a perfect place for the story to unfold.
I enjoy reading historical fiction set in this time period, as well as fantasy and this was a perfect mix of both.
I loved the mystery, intrigue and just the right amount of romance interwoven into the plot. The characters are amazing, the villains are terrible and I am left with questions that make me want the next book now!!
Great start to a new series!

Inventive Twist on Colonial America
The Petticoat Pirate is an inventive twist on Colonial America. Set in the early 1700s, the story focuses on Josephine Teversin, a girl in her mid to late teens who is half pirate and half.... well, we don't exactly know what her other half is. Her father was an immortal pirate and her mother is a mystery that isn't unraveled in this book. I loved the twist on pirates that Pugh takes with this book."A true immortal pirate could not be caught on land after the sun had set or he would turn to sand on the spot."Basically an immortal pirate is kind of like a vampire. Except the sun doesn't kill them, their physical location at night is what does them in. In addition to the "immortal" pirates there are also regular pirates, witches, colonists, British soldiers and hunters. Hunters of what? Well Pirates of course! While this is mostly a pirate story there is also a wonderful element of suspense to be found. We have political intrigue, espionage, double agents, traitors to the crown, loyalists and more. The timeline for most of The Petticoat Pirate is just prior to the Boston Tea Party. Having the story set just before a huge event in American history lends nicely to the urgency of matters and desperation the characters feel to complete certain tasks.I found this story very enjoyable. While it does end on a bit of a cliffhanger I found that it sets up all of the events that could happen in book two quite nicely. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for the next release in this series.
