Something deadly lurks below the surface . . .

The dead haunt my dreams. Though I'm still recovering from battling the Mara, I can't deny their summons—nor do I want to.

But in my hurry to take revenge against our oppressors and cement my hard-won position as hero of the city, I must have dived back in too soon . . . because the magic I've only just learned to wield fails to show up for the fight.

Now, if I can't reclaim my abilities before it's too late, my newfound friends won't be the only one to pay the price.

But more than just monsters stand in my way—and taking back the power to stop them just might cost me everything.

What happens when you reach for the hero within—and find out she isn't you?

Buy the anticipated sequel to Blind the Eyes for riveting YA dark fantasy with a devastating cliffhanger twist!

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020
Black the Tides (Threads of Dreams, #2), my second back-to-back read from author K.A. Wiggins, an author I'd not heard of before receiving these books. This seems like my week for new authors as this is already the third new author this week & it's only Wednesday. At 250-pages, somewhat shorter than the first book and it flows better. I was gifted a free copy and I'm voluntarily reviewing it because every good books need reviews. I look forward to more from this author, obviously there's more to tell in this tale.

Book two in this incredible YA fantasy read and as with book one I was hooked from the very start. The world building continues to be awesome, the storyline continues to be exciting and gripping and the characters continue to grow and develop. Overall this is a great addition to this series and I’m off to read the third book now!

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020
Our heroine won the last time and feels good but it seems it all wasn’t won. Her powers aren’t working and a war is coming again and will be horrible if she doesn’t find a way to get them working! This storyline was interesting and intriguing as we go forward. The characters will pull you in and keep you wanting more!
