Review: Toxic Tides by Grace Hamilton & Riley Miller

Toxic Tides

Huge Post-Apocalyptic Disaster Saga with 1000+ Pages of an American Family Surviving a World-Changing Algae Bloom

by Grace Hamilton & Riley Miller

Published: February 5, 2025

Genre: Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Dystopian


Blurb:


In a world ravaged by drought, family is all that matters…

Eighteen-year-old Hazel refuses to become another wife and broodmare to the prophet of the Wellspring cult. She’s determined to find a safe haven for her younger brother, Caleb, in a world where 80% of all fresh water has been contaminated by an algae bloom. But if they’re going to survive, they’ll need help.

Scientists Emily and Sam, and wilderness guide Bash, might just be the kind of people they can count on. But a lifetime of isolation makes it near impossible for Hazel to trust outsiders. Even if they may be her only hope of breaking free from the prophet’s clutches.

A remote forest cabin seems to be the perfect base of operations to plan their escape. But when the cult’s soldiers come searching for them, Hazel must draw upon all her strength and skill to protect Caleb.

With her brother’s life hanging in the balance, she'll risk everything to save him - even if it means taking on the maniacal cult by herself.

My Review:

Toxic Tides is a very intense and engaging read that caught my attention with the summary. Once I started reading I was hooked I didn’t want to stop reading it but sometimes life gets in the way and gives you no choice. The world created for Toxic Tides was a fascinating read.

The world’s water has been contaminated. Hazel only wants to find a safe place to keep her brother Caleb safe. They escaped a cult, and now the cult is looking for them. Hazel knows she will need help keeping Caleb safe, but she doesn’t trust anyone after living with the Wellspring cult. But what choice does she have?

Hazel and Caleb meet Emily and Bash, two very nice people. They have found a safe haven and made preparations just in case they have to leave quickly if someone from the Wellspring cult finds them.

The world-building in Toxic Tides was wonderfully well done. I loved it. On many occasions, I found myself lost in its world. It was as if I were no longer reading it but seeing it all as if it were real. The descriptions were so well done that I could see it all in my head as if I were watching a movie.

I recommend Toxic Tides to anyone who likes reading end-of-the-world type of stories. Grab a copy of Toxic Tides today!
