Pretty good

A prequel short story for her other book Sea Swept. Seemed pretty good and interesting to read. I already love the Park series by this author

This is a great story. Quick and easy to follow, a great way to be introduced to the mer world in this series. As great as it was, I wish there was more detail to it. Seemed sorta rushed to fit a lot of information in less than 70 pages.

I love the cover.

Available on Kindle Unlimited or the ebook is available on Amazon for $0.99. I personally bought the book because I thought it was a great deal before I opened it and realized it was so short - but that was my mistake. The ebook was about 62 pages, but then it had an additional 30 or so pages of Sea Swept. It was a great story, but I would recommend just using Kindle Unlimted to read this short story.

I loved Riptide. It was so wonderful being introduced to the magical realm of Kestia in this novella. I didn't want it to end! The conflict with Harmonia had me on edge, and I was mentally cheering Delia on in her mission, hoping she would succeed.

This was a wonderful introduction to Sea Swept where we will learn more about Kestia, its inhabitants, and baby Adella. Erica Cope did a fantastic job hooking me into the story.

I've been excited to start this series and I was lucky enough to receive an ARC from the author. It is a quick read but it's filled with such a great basis for Sea Swept. I look forward to reading more and watching the story unravel. Erica Cope's stories never disappoint! Be ready to dive into another great read! (Pun totally intended).

Riptide is a sneak peek into the world of Kestia and the life before and after Addie's birth. We discover how her parents meet and how the queen came to reign. I recommend you read this after Sea Swept as it contains some spoilers.

This was a nice little teaser for Sea Swept. I love mermaids but have never actually read any books about it. I'm excited to keep reading the story! :)
