📖Title: The Sea Child
✍️Author: Linda Wilgus
📅Pub Date: January 20, 2026
⭐I’ve been cranking out the five star book reviews lately! I’m like 20 books behind on sharing reviews and am naturally picking the ones I’m most excited about first, THE SEA CHILD being one of them!
🌊I was so excited for 2026 debuts, and they have truly been blowing it out of the water (pun intended)!
🏴☠️The synopsis of this book immediately sold me. A young widow returning to a village where she was found as a child dripping wet and alone? SOLD. Dangerous smugglers arriving at her down with a wounded captain she may or may not fall in love with? DOUBLE SOLD.
⭐This story absolutely delivered. It was adventurous, romantic, mysterious and I couldn’t get enough of our main character Isabel. I felt like a kid lost in a fairy tale while reading this book. The prose, the characters, the plotline were all so perfectly constructed that I never wanted to put it down!
📃I don’t want to give anything else away, but make sure this debut is on your 2026 TBR!
❓What was the last debut novel you read?
