Rising Tide will sink its fangs into you, keeping you awake into the wee hours of the night
Could Maura's life get any worse? Turns out, it most certainly can.
Isolated and sheltered by her lonely mother, Maura's never been able to make friends. She seems to drive her classmates away - except for the odd times they pay enough attention to torture her - but she doesn't understand why. Maura considers herself to be a freak of nature, with her unusually pale skin and an aversion to the sun that renders her violently nauseous. Her belief is only worsened by the fact that almost everyone around her keeps their distance.
Even her own father deserted her before she was born, leaving Maura alone with her emotionally distant mother, Caelyn. Even though Maura is desperate for answers about her unknown parent, Caelyn remains heartbroken and her daughter can't bring herself to reopen her mother's wounds. Or is there a more sinister reason Caelyn refuses to utter a word about her long-lost love?
When a cruel prank nearly claims Maura's life, one of her classmates, Ron, rushes to her rescue. Darkly handsome and mysteriously accepting, Ron doesn't seem to want to stay away, but Maura is reluctant to get too close, since her mother has announced she's moving the two of them to Vancouver...nearly 3,000 miles away from their hometown of Indiana, Pennsylvania.
If life wasn't already challenging enough, Maura begins to experience bizarre, physical changes her mother seems hell bent on ignoring, compelling Maura to fear for her own life.

What did you love best about Rising Tide: Dark Innocence?
I loved everything from the title to the characters to the excellent writing.Who was your favorite character and why?
Maura and Ron were my favorite characters, although I really liked the well-developed secondary characters, too.Have you listened to any of Diana Steele’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to Ms. Steele before. I greatly enjoyed her voice but I wished she hadn't repeated lines so often. That was distracting. Her pronunciation was off on a couple of words, too. Maybe Beacon needs stricter quality control.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Early in the book, when Ron had to rescue Maura, that was moving.Any additional comments?
I will definitely listen to the next book in this series!Excellent Story!

I listened to the audio book. The narrator was perfect. Her voice matched the story. If you don't get the right narrator, it can be a distraction. Luckily this was not an issue. Some stories are meant to be told out loud. This is one of them. I am excited to continue the journey with Maura into the next book
Fantastic YA Paranormal
