Dark Tide, The
Dark Tide, The | Alicia Jasinska
5 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
Every year on St. Walpurga's Eve, Caldella's Witch Queen lures a boy back to her palace. An innocent life to be sacrificed on the full moon to keep the island city from sinking. Convinced her handsome brother is going to be taken this year, Lina Kirk enlists the help of the mysterious Thomas Lin, her secret crush, and the only boy to ever escape from the palace after winning the love of a queen. Working together they protect her brother but draw the queen's attention. Queen Eva cast away her heart when her sister died to save the boy she loved. Now as queen, she won't make the same mistake. With the tide rising higher than ever before and the islander's whispering that Eva's magic is failing, she's willing to sacrifice anyone if it means saving herself and her city. When Thomas is chosen as sacrifice, Lina takes his place and the two girls are forced to spend time together as they wait for the full moon. But Lina is not at all what Eva expected, and the queen is nothing like Lina envisioned. Against their will, the two girls find themselves falling for each other. As water floods Caldella's streets and the dark tide demands its sacrifice, they must choose who to save- themselves, each other, or the island city relying on them both.

Sooo…not my favorite. The MC‘s decisions were very frustrating, as were some plot holes. The concept is awesome (witches, island slowly sinking into the see, magic, sea serpents), but it fell real flat for me. The only character I felt was compelling at all was the Witch Queen.

Gay witches. Must I say more? (I‘m going to say more). This was one of the best sapphic romances I‘ve read recently and if Eva would become my wife already I would be very happy:)
On another note- this is basically your average fantasy book. Nothing special except for that Eva, the Witch Queen, enemy to the MC (and eventual lover) is introduced and she brought the entire book up a couple stars. 4/5
