What started as a slightly cheesy mermaid romance has blossomed into a badass series about the power and joy of female friendship. This book is even better than the first two. Donnelly hits all of the right notes in Dark Tide, including ethnically diverse and disabled characters, and passing the Bechdel Test. Here's hoping Book 4 ends the series on a strong note. ( )

This was EXACTLY what I wanted this 3rd book to be!

It keeps the momentum of Rogue Wave going, creating a faster paced sequel with lots and lots of plot development. And even though it is definitely a bridging novel in terms of the plot, I never got bored with what was happening.

Everything is amplified just that little bit. The focus shifts further from Sera and shines on the other girls, developing their characters a little more which I greatly appreciated. We also get a touch more romance which is always a bonus--but I like that it never takes away from the focus of the story which is restoring the kingdoms.

All the foundations for a kick-ass finale are there and I can't wait to read it!

These books have become my favorite series thus far and int introduced my love of Waterscapes, Water-worlds, or worlds any of the sea and I wish I could find more books like this in the few that I own! ( )
