BREAKTHROUGH NOVEL AWARD FOR 2014 ARE YOU A FAN OF VAMPIRE ACADEMY,
VAMPIRE DIARIES OR TWILIGHT?
"Rising Tide will sink its fangs into you, keeping you awake
into the wee hours of the night"
Could Maura's life get any worse? ...turns out it most certainly
can.
Isolated and sheltered by her lonely mother, Maura's never been
able to make friends. She seems to drive her classmates away-except
for the odd times they pay enough attention to torture her-but she
doesn't understand why. Maura considers herself to be a freak of
nature, with her unusually pale skin and an aversion to the sun
that renders her violently nauseous. Her belief is only worsened by
the fact that almost everyone around her keeps their distance.
Even her own father deserted her before she was born, leaving
Maura alone with her emotionally distant mother, Caelyn. Even
though Maura is desperate for answers about her unknown parent,
Caelyn remains heartbroken and her daughter can't bring herself to
reopen her mother's wounds. Or is there a more sinister reason
Caelyn refuses to utter a word about her long-lost love?
When a cruel prank nearly claims Maura's life, one of her
classmates, Ron, rushes to her rescue. Darkly handsome &
mysteriously accepting, Ron doesn't seem to want to stay away, but
Maura is reluctant to get too close, since her mother has announced
she's moving the two of them to Vancouver...nearly 3,000 miles away
their hometown of Indiana, Pennsylvania.
If life wasn't already challenging enough, Maura begins to
experience bizarre, physical changes her mother seems hell bent on
ignoring, compelling Maura to fear for her own life. Vicious
nightmares, blood cravings, failing health and the heart-shattering
loss of Ron-as well as the discovery of a tangled web of her own
mother's lies-become obstacles in Maura's desperate quest for the
unfathomable truth she was never prepared to uncover. Sure to
become of the Books to Read of the year, " Rising Tide: Dark
Innocence " isn't the usual tale of vampire erotica. This novel is
a YA Vampire Romance that is certain to become one of the classic
books of its time. Maura doesn't live in Castle Dracula in
Transylvania, but she must still discover the bloodlines
constructing the creature she is destined to become. A preview is
