Tidal (Watersong #3) by Amanda Hocking: Review

RATING: 5/5

 

 

Summary:

 

The magical world of Watersong is about to change forever. The answers Gemma and her friends have been searching for are finally revealed - but evil is closing in and time is running out....

 

Gemma and Harper Fisher are facing the fight of their lives. Gemma has been cursed with extraordinary powers that have a terrifying dark side, but she's finally found what she needs - a way to break the curse and become human again. However, finding the means to do it will be her greatest challenge yet. And now Penn, Lexi, and Thea - the gorgeous but deadly creatures who cursed her - are determined to kill her before she has a chance. Making matters worse, Penn has her sights set on Daniel - the guy Harper loves - and Penn always gets what she wants.

As Gemma and Harper race to break the curse before it's too late, they're thrust deeper into a mythical world of immortal secrets. They must into their enemies' past to find the answers they need, even if it means being drawn deeper into their savagely beautiful world. But one of the girls is not what she seems...and Gemma finds an unlikely ally as she struggles to save herself. Will it be enough to break an ancient curse that no one has ever escaped from alive?

REVIEW:

While LULLABY was just ok, TIDAL absolutely blew my mind!

This book grabbed me from the very first page and didn't let me go until the last.

Lets talk characters.

GEMMA:

I absolutely love Gemma, even if she doesn't make the best decisions. She is very independent, and really likeable.

HARPER:

She acts too much like Gemma's mom. But I think I would too in her shoes. She is kind and caring, even though she worries too much.

DANIEL:

Oh, Daniel.

HOLY HOTNESS!

How can you not love him? He's helpful, caring, hot, strong, and brave. Definitely one of my top book boyfriends.

ALEX:

I FEEL SO BAD FOR HIM. I WISH HIS MIND WOULD GET FIXED.

THEA:

My favorite out of all the sirens. She actually talked to Gemma, instead of just immediately wanting to kill her for not wanting to be a siren. And the ending made me even love her more.

PENN AND LEXI:

I hate them both. So much. They hate Gemma, and just want to kill her. Why didn't they ever try to get along with Gemma? Find a compromise? Maybe if they were nicer, Gemma would actually want to hang around them.

THE PLOT:

The plot thickened so much throughout this book! The first book WAKE was really good in this department; the second book, LULLABY, was kind of lacking in plot; but not TIDAL. Everything is getting so much more involved and intense. I love it!

THE ENDING.

I was emotionally dead by the end. YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT COMING!

Overall, an awesome addition to an amazing series. I highly recommend it!

CONTENT: Heavy kissing, but it never goes any farther. a few f-bombs were dropped, and there's lots of gory violence.
