Taken by the Tide
by Wright, Invi
Taken by the Tide drops you into a landscape where the environment is just as dangerous as the people inhabiting it. This story centers on a protagonist forced to reckon with buried secrets while navigating a volatile, high-stakes situation that leaves little room for error. The atmosphere is heavy and salt-sprayed, leaning hard into the tension of survival and the constant threat of a hidden past catching up to the present. You can expect a slow-building sense of dread that eventually gives way to sharp, unpredictable shifts in power. It is an ideal pick for readers who prefer their romances with a side of grit and their mysteries shrouded in moral ambiguity. If you enjoy stories where characters are constantly testing each other's boundaries against a backdrop of isolation and looming danger, this will keep you turning pages late into the night.
