Liliha has married Oliver in this second book of the Moonstone series, and they've settled happily into their life. She still has visions, where she helps those in need, thanks to her scarab ring. Into this bliss intrudes her daughter, Kayleigh, and her guy, Eddie. There are others on the horizon, those who would destroy the happiness Liliha and Oliver have found. Can this couple overcome the adversity?The first thing that drew me to this story was the cover. The scarab bracelet implied a threat to peace, the dark background hinted at turmoil. Yet, once I opened Tidal Surge, I was completely unprepared for the quietly beautiful tale of soul mates understand each other, and of the outside forces working to pull them apart because of their own insecurities. Tidal Surge reminds me so much of everyday life, where the forces wrought by those around us can do so much damage.Francene Stanley crafts such a wonderful tale of love and family, of former loves and adversaries willing to take away from those who have. I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a story that is not only about love but also about real life.
