A boy with secrets, a couple in love, and a supernatural
battle between demons trying to bring on an apocalypse and Christians aided by
angels combine to give a rather complex story. Lives and souls are at stake,
and an underground group of Christians fight various threats as they try to
prevent evil from taking hold like an infection.
Fatal Tide is the concluding book in the East Salem trilogy,
and although I did not read the first two books, I was still able to follow
this one. However, it was difficult to
follow at first, because new characters are being introduced in addition to
those already established. It took a bit of turning back to previous chapters
to remind myself who was who at first. As the story developed, suspense builds.
The characters seem to get into some pretty tight spaces, but the story makes
it clear that God is watching over them.
I must say it does get a little anti-climactic at the end.
There is this great build-up to a final battle but I feel that the end doesn’t
really deliver enough of a climax. The story ties up well, but I think the
author could have added more conflict at the end. I enjoyed the book, and I am
interested in reading the first two. If you read the first two books I would
say this is a must-read. Otherwise, it is definitely enjoyable and I would
recommend it, but I do think it could have been improved upon.
