My review will be in Library Journal. I very much enjoyed the book and hope it will do well so we can get a sequel!

This has to be the creepiest and scariest book that I have read in a very long time. I would be shocked if it's not made into a movie. Non stop terror!! It starts off kind of slowly. A young women housesitting a dog. The neighbour next door. A chance encounter, that puts two lonely people together. One thing leads to another. Crazy dreams-- or were they? Wake up next morning to something not quite right. From then, on one hurdle after another. Was it a meteor shower or something else? Two people brought together just at the right moment in time-- can they save each other??? Can they put aside their differences and work together, can they give their life for someone else? Can they figure out just what the hell happened? I would give this 4 out of 5

*Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

What do you get when you cross a scary alien invasion with two people who are stuck in an unmoving car on a beach? A tense, nail-biting book called Black Tide.

I'll be the first to admit that I am a scaredy-cat when it comes to anything related to horror. But horror with an apocalypse thrown in? I'll just have to suck it up and avoid reading at night, but books like these immediately catch my eye.

The first thing I noticed about this book was the good pacing. In a story like this with so many action scenes, it can be easy to become impatient and rush through the scenes, but the author easily avoids this.

It was easy to root for the characters and throughout the book, I was crossing my fingers that they would survive. There is something incredibly compelling about characters who have hit rock-bottom and are trying their best to survive in difficult circumstances.

This was an interesting concept for a book and I'm curious to see how the author will continue the story. I'm happy with how the story ended, though a certain death left me incredibly sad, and I'm impressed with what the author managed to do with the limited setting the characters found themselves trapped in.

The author's writing is simple, using a few metaphors here and there, which I think fit the story well. The author succeeds in creating a tense atmosphere that reduced me to a bundle of nerves as I devoured the book. I was halfway through the book before I realized how much progress I had made. Tense books like these are perfect for people who find themselves in reading slumps, or for people who love reading about alien invasions.
