MUDDY TIDE

by Amy Ross

In this riveting short story of betrayal, one good turn does not always get another in response. The most harmless looking of them all can always turn out to be the deadliest.

Life seems to be sweet and utterly perfect for the Lord Lloyd McGrath and his wife, the Lady Minerva. After all, they are having their first time child. While still reeling from the intoxicating feeling of being a first-time father, an ominous message with his name on it finds Lloyd. He cannot seem to find who the message is from but it leaves him rattled because it bears an undertone of vengeance from a blood-thirsty creditor.

He has to revisit the things he has buried deeply under the rug. He has to unearth the secrets that has made him the Lord of the north, from being just a stranded young man caught up in a storm...

Muddy Tide is about a man who has a past and needs to answer for it. Amy Ross is a excellent author but I have read better stories of hers than this! I was some what confused on what was going on.A sorcerer, blood, voo-doo and strange going ons. It just not what I expected out of this story and it just didn't make sense to me! This is the first of a series.. Strange creatures and who knows what,I'm off to book two!!

We start the book with Lord McGrath in the room with Lady Minerva about to give birth. She does give birth to a baby boy but then she dies. Her husband sees a note on the floor that says he wants back what was taken. Then we go back a few months when Lord Fabian Trey rescues a man who ship has sunk and all others were killed. When asked his name he says Lloyd McGrath. From this point on, even though it is a short story it has a lot of suspens. It is another great story by Amy Ross.

Unusual short story

For a short story, I found this one a little confusing. It's an interesting story about a Lord who saves a man, who then plots against the Lord. At times you are not sure who the writer is talking about
