⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
Short Summary of the book:
Maura is a teenager who has no friends at school. Just when it appears some of her classmates want her to join their friendship group, her mother decides to move to Canada. Suddenly she becomes a ‘normal’ teenager and rebels against the rules set by her single mother. With her dad not in her life, she has looked after her depressed mother for a long time. The sudden friendship is not what it appears but Ron has admired Maura from a distance for years and rescues her. Will their friendship survive? And what do all the changes in her appetite mean? Why does she feel ill in the sun?
What I liked about the book:
I enjoyed the developing friendship and love between Maura and Ron, even if it came just for her move.
What I didn’t like about the book:
Bullies are my worst pet hate. This book had its fair share.
My favourite bits in the book:
Friendship developing amongst these young people. It was an honest friendship which could bridge a distance. Whether it would last is still an open question.
My least favourite bits in the book:
The scene in the woods. How could they do that to her?
Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
I understand this is the first book in the series and I had to restrain myself from immediately buying the next in the series. That will need to wait until I have made a good dent in the large collection of books on my Kindle.
What books could this be compared to and why?
This was quite a different look at the paranormal world. There are no books I can think of I’ve read like this. Only one book slightly reminds me of this one but I can’t remember its title at the moment.
Recommendation:
Children No
Young Adult Yes
Adult Yes
If you like this book may be the book for you.
I look forward to reading more books by this author.

レビュー
- "How Melanson dealt with the vampire lore was interesting and fans of Twilight might enjoy Rising Tide. The cliff-hanger definitely leaves you wondering what's going to happen next." Kayti Nika Raet for Readers' Favorite
- "It's about vampires, coming of age, a mother-daughter relationship and romance. And it's good. ... I also love the cover art; kudos to the cover designer, Rachel Montreuil. All in all, this is an enjoyable page-turner." Lit Amri for Readers' Favorite
- "Maura stayed with me long after I finished the book." Mark Matthews, Author of On the Lips of Children & Milk-Blood.
- "Ms. Melanson has found an excellent balance here with a storyline that is straightforward enough to not be confusing and intriguing enough to remain compelling." Leslie Stokes for InD'tale Magazine
- "Can there EVER be too many great YA fantasy novels? Claudette Melanson, author Rising Tide has definitely made a place among them!" Diiane Bylo, Top 500 Reviewer and owner of Tome Tender Book Blog
著者について
Claudette Melanson writes dark fantasy in Kitchener, Ontario with four bun babies: Tegan, Pepper, Butters & Beckett. She graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a BA in English, BS in English Education and an MA in Literature. Harboring a deep admiration of vampires since the age of five left her with the desire to eventually become one, and now fuels the creation of her favorite paranormal characters. She hopes to one day work full-time as an author since there are many, many stories playing out inside her head. In her very scant spare time, she enjoys watching Japanese Anime and reading vampire stories...along with other genres of great fiction, as well as riding every roller coaster she encounters in both her hometown and away at signings. An advocate for good health and ketogenic eating, her favorite foods are bulletproof coffee, cashew-flour crust pizza and treats made with xylitol and almond, coconut or cashew flours. Future dreams include a cabin boasting a roaring fire, isolated inside a snow-filled wood in the Yukon-the perfect writing spot-and the completion of dozens of future novels and stories. A Rabbit Rescue fanatic and loving bunmom, she also hopes to help rescues all over the world save many innocent lives.

A captivating tale!
2018年10月10日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I'm really struggling to write this review without spoiling it for you! Suffice to say, it's an amazing read, with great characters. Struggling through her teens and the changes that take place in her body, Maura has more to deal with than most. A mother who suffers from depression and struggles with the loss of her other half, being the unpopular kid at school, and more. Her light at the end of the tunnel arrives in the form of Ron, but her mother is moving her to Canada. Will she end up like her mother and spend her life sheathed in sorrow at the loss of her one true love? Will her mother ever tell her the truth about the changes taking place in her body? I could not put it down. A seriously great read.

A wonderful vampire story for early teen readers as well as adults!
2015年11月23日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book was fantastic! It reminded me of the Twilight Saga but it was so much better. I thought the characters in Twilight lacked personality and depth but this book offered so much more. Maura, her mother Caelyn, and her boyfriend Ron were all delightful, quite complex, quirky, and flawed in the most wonderful ways. Although this book is obviously written for teenagers and I’m a lot older, I still thoroughly enjoyed Rising Tide: Dark Innocence. It's perfect for readers who are looking for a great vampire story with a unique plot and fascinating characters. I was pleased to see it was not full of long, repulsive passages full of horror and gore, so I thought it was also a great book for very young adolescents. Here are just two of the reasons I liked this book so much: Maura’s subtle physical and mental transformation into a vampire made this book highly credible and I also loved the way Maura and Ron developed a strong emotional connection which seemed spiritual, even supernatural. I highly recommend Rising Tide: Dark Innocence and I’m definitely looking forward to reading the sequel Undertow: Death’s Twilight.

Dark Innocence, this truly is.
2015年4月21日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Being a fan of all things paranormal I'm always looking out for something a little different. Several friends recommended this so I downloaded myself a copy. I knew it was going to be different from the others after checking out the cover art. Very unique graphics rather than some sexy vampiric models draped seductively over the page (don't get me wrong I love those images too but we do get a bit bogged down at times).
So I delved deep within the pages and became hooked. Its hard to say why without giving anything away but this story really flowed for me, I just had to keep reading. The 'Dark Innocence' part of the title is more than appropriate with Minks mother (sorry but liked this little pet name better than Maura) seemingly wishing to keep her daughter as an innocent child. Being very secretive, and for a very good reason (dragged out to the very end) not allowing her daughter to mature into something that is inevitable.
This book covers some issues that many growing teens will experience such as peer pressure and finding where you fit into the world. Making new friends and being able to accept their help in times of trouble. I hope I haven't said too much?
I recommend this highly for teens & young adults or even old fans of paranormal like me. Don't take my word for it try it for yourself.

Can't wait to read the next book in the series
2016年5月6日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
From the first words I was drawn into Maura’s world, watching her blossom from a lonely young girl to someone who knows her place in the affections of others but still doesn’t know her own secret. I knew early on what she was but that didn’t matter and the ending where her secret is revealed was unexpected.
The pacing was good throughout.
The characters (despite the genre) were credible and likeable. If I had one minor criticism it would be that I’m not sure that Ron would have taken all her little oddities in his stride - but then maybe book two will reveal more about that.
This author is extremely talented and I can’t wait to dip into book two. Despite my incredibly long TBR list I think this will have to be on my holiday read list.
