I received a free copy of this book directly from Ms. Caroline Peckham the author. Thank you Caroline, this is my review.
Wow, so many emotions after finishing this novel. This novel is jam packed with action, lies at every turn and so much betrayal.
I think think this Gateway challenge was my favourite. It was competitive but fun. There was also a huge twist towards the middle of this novel that I did not see coming at all...totally blindsided.
I love these characters and I am so invested in their adventures. My favourite scene was the thunderstorm sequence.
I need to know how this is going to end and I believe the final book in this series is the longest! Eep so excited! I'm rooting for Rogan and May!

Another captivating book in this series!
The characters are all very different and interesting. I really wanted to know more and more about everyone.
Because the group had to split up we get to read two different stories alternating.
More Gateway challenges too!
Have to go on to the next one to find out how it ends!
I was a little unlucky in my technology stuff, that’s why it took a little longer to read this.
I received a copy and this is my honest and voluntary review

this one was definitely a filler book with more character development than plot but a lot of things are starting to set in motion

Moving from freezing temperatures to blistering ones, Oliver and company face some new discoveries and setbacks in Caroline Peckham's Turning Tide.

Having left Glacio and reached their goal of Brinatin, Oliver and crew believe that they've finally come within reach of the cure for May's curse with help from Rogan's father Wallace Ganderfield. But in approaching Rogan's reclusive and work-obsessed father, their luck takes an unexpected turn, forcing them to consider alternative courses of action. Meanwhile, Quinn has been taken hostage by Hector Rook and her travels across Brinatin have been less than the beach vacation she envisioned but peppered with rare moments of moderate enjoyment. While competing for a key to yet another gateway, Oliver and crew get caught up in some traps of Rimori's devising and thus learn more about his ultimate plan.
Moving quickly through the story's events, this third installment in the series picks up where it left off as the characters cross through the gateway. In simplest terms, things start to happen in a quick succession in this installment and the villains of the story are becoming more prominent as their plan is being revealed and some aspects are made much more public.There are still some areas in the text that would benefit from some grammatical clean up, but the story kept me captivated such that I didn't notice it too much.
Overall, I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book
It was a little slow getting into it, it's been a little bit since I read the last book but it picked up and I have to say, this one was heart pounding. There were quite a few plot twists and some intense feelings here.
One thing that I'm really happy about is the friendship between Oliver and Rogan. They are funny together and I feel a real strong connection between them and I am so mad at the author for scaring me like that! You can't do that to me!
I had fun reading this book and I can't wait for the next ones. I'm getting really anxious about how all this is going to resolve itself.
The covers continue to amaze me, the author really knows what colors can compliment one another to make a beautiful image.
The plot is moving along nicely for how many books there will be and the author knows how to keep readers on the edge of their seats. The writing continues to be rather simple but it really works for these books, especially with the genre.
If a teen is looking for an adventure book with plenty of plot twists, mystery and a little bit of romance, I think they would find their love of reading through this series. There were times where I was laughing because of the antics of Rogan and Oliver and then gasping because of some drama or a plot twist that I didn't see coming.
Thank you for reading my review.

** ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review. **
Within sentences I was transported back into the story from where I left off. This installment was very reminiscent of Book One but with a darker tone; which worked beautifully. As the characters are evolving in the books, so too is my feeling about them. The twists and turns continue to surprise and I was jolted - twice - which is a rare feat.
