HOLD BACK THE TIDE BY MELINDA SALISBURY!!! Wow, the look of this post is a STARK contrast to the mood of the book. Alva’s father is a murderer, and she still lives with him. How do you live with a murderer? Well, you make yourself useful, and you bide your time until you can escape. But right before Alva can run away, she becomes more and more worried about the lowering levels of the loch he family has guarded for generations. I was honestly on the edge of my seat for this book. This was also an ARC, but I didn’t get around to reading the book until months after it was released (haha). It was easily worth the read. . . . #holdbackthetide #melindasalisbury #bookstagram #books #book #bookblog #bookblogger #booklover #booknerd #bookstagrammer #readingcommunity #bookcommunity #readersofinstagram #read #bookhoarder #wearecurrentlyreading #bookish #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #booksworthreading #readmorebooks #mustread https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3IeEFLlUS/?igshid=m1e0wp7qi4pu
