Blood Tide is a very good horror story that will have you not only searching for high ground, but perhaps moving to the desert where certain creatures cannot get to you.I thoroughly enjoyed the colloquialisms of the locale, and the constant infighting between Hooper and Winchester helped carry the story when the monster in the water abyss wasn't eating people. Hooper and Winchester make no qualms about their venemous hatred for each other, but need each other to survive. I also enjoyed that basic human nature don't always unite us, even in times of despair, but often times separate us; or at least show our emotions that are just below the surface.There is a lot to like about this fictional monster, wholly unique from what I have read before and a being that has, on some level thoughts of being self-aware. The creature's hunger is inexhaustible and in the water is ubiquitous. There is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. I look forward to reading the next book created by Edward Parker.
