BOOK REVIEW of TIDE EVER RISING by Mandi Tucker Slack
What the book says about itself:
Kadence Reynold’s favorite pastime is exploring old ghost towns, but when she and her sister, Maysha, stumble across an old journal and cheap pendant hidden in the depths of a crumbling foundation near Eureka, Utah, their world is suddenly turned upside down. Immediately, strange dreams and premonitions begin to haunt “Kadie” as she learns more about the author of the journal, Charlotte Clark. Kadie sets out on a journey to learn more about Charlotte and her family, and she and Maysha travel to Bremerton, Washington, where they discover Charlotte's still living twin sister, Adelaide and her family.
Kadie and Maysha, upon arriving in Washington, are immediately immersed in Adelaide and Charlotte’s story. Kadie soon learns that Charlotte disappeared the night of a tragic fire that took the lives of Adelaide’s entire family. With the help of Logan Mathews, Adelaide’s handsome grandson, and Charlotte’s ever disconcerting presence, Kadie delves into the past. Hoping to solve the mystery of Charlotte’s disappearance, Kadie immediately discovers the secrets contained in the journal will toss her and Adelaide’s family into a world filled with mystery, past regrets, and dark unknowns.
This was a good book with a
great plot and fun storyline. The little hints of supernatural elements like a
ghost were well done and something that even I could accept. I liked the
characters and felt I was really getting to know them. (Little sister Maysha was one of my favorites) I even developed an
understanding for the bad guy. The motivations of the bad guy seemed a little
strange at first, but people want to keep their secrets buried deep and not
ever admit to wrong doing. The only thing I didn’t buy in this story was how
fast the relationship developed between the love interests. Through their
experiences together, it was natural and evolved in a way I could accept, but
it was just way fast for me. Mandi’s other story THE ALIAS was a quickly
developed relationship too, but for some reason I accepted it better.
Overall, I enjoyed the story
and finished it quickly. It’s a clean romance with hints of religion, but
nothing preachy.
