Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event originally created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating. Jill has been MIA since August of 2016. Despite this, the meme lives on….Hope you come back Jill! Until then I will be joining Tressa at Wishful Endings and her meme Can’t-Wait Wednesday.
Happy Wednesday y’all! This week I’m waiting on Shadow and Tide by Rachel Greenlaw. I made it no secret that Compass and Blade wasn’t my favorite read this year. It wasn’t bad, just not great. However, it ended strong, strong enough that I’m looking forward to its sequel. If you enjoy adventure on the high seas, you should check it out as well.

Bargains made in desperation have steep costs.
Mira has been listless on Rosevear, waiting for the moment that she can join Elijah, avenge her father, and put a stop to Seth and Renshaw’s schemes. But, before she can take action, the watch strike and leave devastation in their wake.
With a crew of loyal friends, Mira makes plans to cut down Renshaw’s reach with the use of her mother’s map. Though Elijah is worried about the word of Mira’s ability spreading, she’s determined to stop the people threatening her island. But, as she learns more about Renshaw’s plans—her control over the watch, and other allies in high places—she realizes that danger surrounds her on every side.
Mira might be in over her head, but after surviving so much betrayal, will she be able to trust Elijah and his crew in order to save herself, her homeland, and the people she loves most?

Ooh nice pick! I think I tried reading the first one but couldn’t really get into it at the time. I hope you positively love the sequel though once you get to read it!
