Tiger has helped take down two out of the three people
responsible for the plot to kidnap children and test them
with unapproved and generally dangerous drugs in hopes of
giving vampires and wraiths immunity to daylight. Only
one person still remains, Ciara Dream. Unfortunately,
Ciara is aware Tiger is coming. Jonas is by her side to
help, but will they be able to destroy the last
stronghold housing the experiments or will the world they
know be forever changed with vampires and wraiths walking
in daylight?
I have fallen in love with the desolate world featured in
the Outcast series! Throughout the
series, we see
a study in contrasts, something that becomes even more
evident in THE BLACK TIDE. Keri Arthur shows us the
darker side, with the unconscionable kidnapping and
experimentation on children, contrasted against the
warmth and love we see between Tiger and her ghostly
companions. Tiger wasn't a character I expected to like,
either. She is a déchet, a genetically engineered soldier
created specifically to sexually entice her targets and
mine their memories for necessary intelligence- and yet
now she is a protector for Bear, Cat, and all the other
children destroyed in the war and left in their ghostly
forms.
THE BLACK TIDE is almost non-stop action, as Tiger is in
a race against the clock. Keri Arthur continues to amaze
me at her gift for crafting stories that draw me into her
world as she perfectly blends together phenomenal
character development with spectacular world building.
If you love dark urban fantasy or apocalyptic tales, then
THE BLACK TIDE is right up your alley.
THE BLACK TIDE is the third and concluding book in the
Outcast series. I've grown to
love Tiger, Bear,
Cat, Jonas, and all the rest of the characters and so it
makes me more than a little sad to see this series
ending. Bear and Cat have especially stolen my heart and
I regret that I won't get to see them in future books as
their loyalty as well as their antics always make me
smile. Instead, I'll look forward to whatever worlds and
adventures Keri Arthur has in store for me next!
New York Times bestselling author Keri Arthur brings
her Outcast series to a breathtaking conclusion as Déchet
supersoldier Tiger races against time to save humanity from
darkness and total annihilation….
Though Winter Halo–the pharmaceutical company behind the
evil experimentation on both children and adults–has been
destroyed, the danger is far from over. Not only do seven
children remain unaccounted for, but some of the vampires
are now able to walk in light.
The key to stopping the unthinkable lies in finding Ciara
Dream, the last member of the trio behind the plot to give
full light immunity to both the vampires and the Others. But
Ciara, like Tiger herself, is a shapeshifter, able to take
on any human form she desires.
To find her, Tiger will need to use every skill in her
formidable arsenal, and even that might not be enough to
save the city and the people she has started to care about.
Because the vampires are coming, and this time, the lights
won’t stop them.
