Daisy wants Aza to contact Pickett’s son, Davis ( Russell Davis Pickett, Jr.), who Aza knew years before. Pickett fled to avoid being arrested for fraud and bribery concerning a sewer project. One day at lunch, as Aza fights to tamp down her fears that her body has been infected by bacteria, her friends Daisy Ramirez and Mychal Turner discuss the disappearance of a local billionaire businessman, Russell Davis Pickett, Sr. Doing this momentarily relieves her overwhelming anxiety, but she must repeat this compulsion many times a day. To deal with this obsession, Aza must compulsively cut open a small callus on her finger, clean it with hand sanitizer, then put on a new Band-Aid. Aza is a 16-year-old high schooler in Indianapolis who has an uncontrollable obsession with the thought of bacteria invading her body and killing her. The school uniform was skirts and knee socks – freezing in winter but good preparation for the life that lay ahead.Īlways a lover of uniforms, Dotsy forsook the nun’s habit for a nurse’s cap and apron that set off her dark Italian hair and big blue Irish eyes. An only child with a full-time working mother, she was schooled by the nuns and spent her youth accompanying them after school in an era when nuns were not allowed out in public without an escort. The only daughter of Anne Marie McLaughlin (Annie) and William (Willie) Caraccio, Dotsy was born and raised on the Upper West Side of New York City. She came in like a lion on April 15 (tax day), 1928 and went out like a lamb two weeks shy of her 95th birthday. Dorothy Anne Gray (aka Dotsy) passed away peacefully on Main the Brentwood Nursing Home of Yarmouth, Maine. But, I have to admit I hate it when the romance turns into a power struggle between the couple, especially when they start out as “enemies.” Why can’t a strong and capable woman have a relationship built on friendship and trust… or for it to at least turn into that? I also felt that instead of this story being very Alora and Riden focused, their relationship was actually used as a plot device by the author to reveal to the readers more about each character’s past. Many reviewers talked a lot about the romance between Alosa and a certain boy (it’s really not hard to guess who) and mentioned the word “insta-love.” I personally feel that although the romance took enough of a back seat in the story, the romance didn’t suffer for it. Alosa’s a girl and a princess, but she’s still as mercenary as any other pirate. But, even though Alosa is supposed to get kidnapped, she can’t go quietly. Unknown to them, Alosa purposely gets herself kidnapped so she can rob the ship of their piece of the map to the land of Sirens (which, of course, holds an unimaginable amount of treasure–it is a book about pirates). In the Daugther of the Pirate King, the reader is immediately introduced to Princess Alosa as she sets the stage to be kidnapped by pirates. They’re smart, witty, sometimes brutal and sometimes beautiful. My favourite literary female characters are the badass ones that don’t need a man to save them.
