What happens when you release the hero within—and she's a stranger?

"I'm stuck in a loop, trying not to look at the ghost of a girl with golden curls and hazel eyes..."

When a series of eerily haunting dreams drives Cole back into battle too soon, the power she's only just learned to wield fails to show up for the fight.

Dreamwalker and childhood friend Ash claims a trip to her long-forgotten homeland in the mountains will help her reclaim her missing magic and hard-won sense of purpose. But the last thing she wants to do is waste days trekking through the monster-infested wilderness with nothing but a snarky ghost and a boy who's made it his life's mission to save a dead girl.

"The last guy who wanted me to trust him tried to sacrifice me to the Mara . . ."

Cole's hesitation doesn't stop Ash from spiriting her across sea-monster-ridden waters to the terrifyingly twisted lands beyond, leaving her broken yet beloved city without protection. If she can't reclaim her past and restore her connection to the dreamscape before it's too late, her newfound friends won't be the only ones to pay the price.

But more than just monsters stand in her way—and this time, taking back the power to stop them might just break her.

Black the Tides is the second book in a lush and labyrinthine trilogy of paranormal-meets-gothic-dystopian YA fantasy filled with monster-infested mountains, haunted forests, and unexpected twists for those who like a little sparkle with their monsters (it glistens so nicely on all the blood.) Fans of cinematic solarpunk utopian planning, dark Northern Gothic forests, and monster-hunting road trips will love this genre-bending dark fantasy with a devastating cliffhanger twist.

Buy Black the Tides for a shocking voyage into dark seas today!

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. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

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!
