Description
Praise for Riptide:
"I will scream it from the rooftops how much I love this series."
"I can only say that Riptide is one of the best modern vampire stories I have ever read, and I read them all from Stephen King to Ann Rice to Stephenie Meyer."
"Riptide was action packed and the fight scenes were well written but more than that it was the story of family and love, of taking responsibility, and dealing with hate when all sane avenues fail."
"The lore is superb, as is the writing. I can't wait to catch up with Maura again!"
The 3rd book in the 1st of several trilogies featuring Maura & her family!
2017 New Apple Solo Medalist for Summer eBook - Young Adult General Fiction
Maura has never felt so alone in her life... nor has her existence ever been so overshadowed by peril...
Not only do both her parents -- her distant but loving mother and recently- returned father -- remain absent from her life, but due to the hideous error in judgement executed in collusion with her best friend, Valdamir, and adoptive sister, Susie, Maura has been cut off from the pair's friendship and support, forbidden by both her father and the fallout from the dire outcome to see either of them. The heartbreak she suffers, brought on by the weight of these estrangements, is only intensified by the continued mysterious absence of her supernaturally-destined mate, Ron... whose disappearance delivers grave consequences Maura would have never dreamed possible...
Despised by her vampire cousin, Aldiva, for reasons Maura cannot yet comprehend, the young changeling will be forced to guard her back with every step, as she comes to realize this member of her vampire family would love nothing more than to bring about her demise. Aldiva's wrath calls forth other members from both Vancouver covens, forcing them to rush to Maura's aid -- even though her father, their king, has expressly forbidden the other vampires to initiate contact with his daughter. Will her extended family on Vancouver Island obey, abandoning Maura to her doom, or will they instead rebel against Maxwell's wishes in order to save her life?
In addition to the menace personified in her unsolicited enemy, the unlikely vampire princess will find herself drowning as she is pulled down into the depths of a far more devastating crisis... one which may condemn her to a fate she considers much more undesirable than death. But in order to tear herself free from the deadly pull which is drawing her under, Maura must enlist the help of her preternatural family, exposing her newfound friends to a danger none of them have ever had the misfortune to face before. Can she be saved or will the riptide drag Maura under... along with those she loves the most...
In this third and final book of The Maura DeLuca Trilogy,the first of several trilogies to come, the reader will delve even deeper into the secrets guarded by Maura's father, the mystery of Ron's role in her life and the identities of the mysterious Vancouver Island Coven members who have, up until now, remained hidden in the shadows.
