4.5 stars for Toxic Tides by Riley Miller and Grace Hamilton.

I received an advance ebook copy of this book from netgalley.

I gave this 4.5 stars because it's too long for my attention span and took me months to finish.

However, the book length was my only issue.

This survival, post apocalyptic, cult story is so well done. And the fact that it could be so close to real life is sort of terrifying.

I'll definitely be looking into other work by the author(s). Definitely recommend!

TOXIC TIDES is the latest "end of the world as we know it" series from Grace Hamilton and Riley Miller. Hamilton is the author of many apocalyptic series that I have read and enjoyed over the years. She's a reader's favorite because her books are realistic....well, as realistic as fantasy can get.....and they aren't repeats of the last book. Each series is a new exercise in how the world could end. TOXIC TIDES is definitely an original plot that should scare us all. As drought works it's way into every corner of the world, water has become deadly, killing instead of saving. As each character faces the challenges of surviving, they must learn to identify those they can trust and those who would kill them for what they have. This series/book earns another 5 stars, just like the last ones.

This book is honestly such a good read for anyone out there who likes the apocalyptic genre such as myself. I liked how different it is with the algae bloom especially since it is something that is becoming more concerning in the real world! It adds an element of realism and in all honesty, kept me on my toes! Then add in a cult into the mix? Oh you’re in for a wild ride! I definitely recommend reading Toxic Tides!

I was given an ARC of Toxic Tides (by Grace Hamilton) from Relay Publishing.
