Upon a Wicked Tide: Book one in the WICKED TIDE duology Kindle Edition

by Kate Craft (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 18 ratings

In a world of sirens, pirates and unspeakable danger, one might crave a quiet life on the Garden Isle…but not this blue-eyed girl.

Upon the death of her guardians, Emerelda Mirabel comes to inherit three curious things:

A book…

Not a diary or fable, but something almost sentient. This riddlesome book hums with power, each page offering strange warnings and temptations…Perhaps speaking to a future already written?

A desire…

Adventure calls to the young captain, a hunger for something more than a simple fisherwoman’s life. Upon her ship, The King’s Arcana, she will sail the eight seas, venturing to strange lands with strangers amongst her crew. But at what cost?

A heartless prince…

Seemingly cursed with no heart, Prince Ryder could not care less about his kingdom, his family or even life itself. But when the king insists his son travel with Emery to find a cure for the affliction, something finally stirs within. Something he cannot explain. Something binding him to the blue-eyed girl.

Hello!

If you're really curious, here's a little about me.

I am an emerging writer of fantasy romance. With CHAOS FORGED A FABLE, I will be debuting into the world of published authors with nothing but excitement and an arsenal of future projects waiting to be brought to life.

I studied at the University of Roehampton, graduating in 2014 with a BSc in Psychology and Criminology. Growing up, I was lucky enough to live and travel around the world on various trips and expeditions. This experience has bled into my books, offering adventure and excitement.

I have two partners in crime. The first is my fiancé, who will remain a mystery for the foreseeable future. The second is my fur-baby, Bodhi, the beautiful fox-red Labrador! Together we live in the perpetually dreary United Kingdom.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written Sailor Fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2022
    Loved every moment of this book, beginning, middle, and end! There is a cliffhanger but it is so worth it!
    This book has:
    Fated Mates
    Slight reverse Harem
    Sirens
    Strong Female Characters

    I was pleasantly surprised with the way Emery was written in this book. You don’t find many books about female ship captains that have such strength and determination. The friendships that develop in this book are amazing and make you laugh and cry, possibly all on the same page. I will definitely be picking up more of this indie author’s titles in the future!

    I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    5.0 out of 5 stars incredible story filled with fairytales, prophecies, adventure and amazing characters
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2022
    I’m just. wow. I loved this. It was SO good. I loved the characters and the writing and story and the pacing and… just all of it. I don’t think I have any complaints (except that I just want them to KISS. PLEASE. I’m jk. ish. I loved this and wouldn’t change a thing).

    okayokay, actual review below:
    First: characters. I genuinely loved all of them. Emerelda was an amazing character. I liked her from the start and just slowly fell even deeper in love the more we got to know her. She was such a strong and intelligent and just all around amazing FMC, and I’m sorta obsessed. PLUS she’s a captain. Of her own ship. As she went through the different challenges and obstacles thrown at her by the fates or gods or whoever is writing her book, she met every single one of them without backing down. And she came out even stronger every time.
    The heartless prince? Um for a man that doesn’t have a heart, he sure stole mine pretty quickly. Which I am totally okay with, I would have just handed it to him if that means we get more Ryder and Emerelda page time. I lived for all of their interactions.
    The side characters? Toriq, Caleb, Ansel, Winnie? LOVED THEM TOO. they didn’t just feel like side characters either though! They felt just as important as the MC and helped move the story along too.

    This is also very much a slowwww burn. I don’t read them very often because I’m usually disappointed when the couple does get together if it isn’t written well. BUT I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. Like I said, I am LIVING for every single second of page time that Ryder and Emerelda have together.

    I was literally hooked from the first paragraph, and I could not put it down. This was so good from start to finish. I loved all the fairytales, myths and stories that were woven into this, and they didn’t feel like afterthoughts either, they were actually part of it. And if I wasn’t so familiar with so many fairy tales already I may not have realized that they weren’t completely unique for this story (which they still very much are, because they aren’t exactly the characters you remember from the Disney movies). I’m not gonna say which stories make an appearance in this, you’ll just have to read it yourself and see :)

    ALSO there were poems/riddles, prophecies, songs, etc that RHYMED. That you got to read on the page! I LOVE getting those and this was yet another element that pushed this from already being a five star read, onto my favorites list.
    So, overall (if you couldn’t tell), I loved this. The writing was phenomenal, the story was amazing, the world building was incredible, and the characters were the best too. Like I said it is slow burn, there’s some found family, quests and adventure. There are sirens, mermaids, pirates, genies, magic and curses, and sooo many other things. and you know I also loved all of the tension and the little twists and turns the story took. I literally cannot wait for the next one and I one hundred percent recommend this!!

    (there are soooo many more things I want to say and mention, but I don’t want to spoil anything so go add this to your TBR and read it asap so you can see for yourself.)

    4.0 out of 5 stars A magical adventure filled with sirens and pirates!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2022
    This book has so many elements that I love! Not only does it have pirates and princes, it has a strong main character, lots of adventure (on the seas and on land), fairytale elements, prophecies…too much to list. I haven't read many books about female captains yet, but it's clear I have been missing out. I also really liked the slow burn romance, as well as the mysterious book that is introduced early in the story. That's such a nice plot device! Loved it! The story reminded me of a combination of quest novel, myth, and fairytale. Very well done!

    "Sometimes fate smiles upon us… but most of the time, she takes us by the throat and drags us down the beaten path."

    I received an ARC of Upon A Wicked Tide in exchange for a honest review. I am delighted to tell you all that I absolutely fell in love with this story. Kate had me hooked from the epigraph!

    Upon A Wicked Tide focuses on sea captain Emerelda Mirabel, who embarks on a dangerous journey to find the Mother Witch after her guardians pass away. She's shackled with a crew that she doesn't trust: a heartless cursed prince, two guards, a scarred second mate, and a mysterious stranger. Their dangerous voyage pits them against foes like sirens, mermaids, pirates, and the kraken. Throw in a journal with riddles of the future, and you're in for an exciting adventure!

    Kate has crafted a wonderful set of characters that draw you in quickly. The mysteries surrounding Emery's past, the warnings from her guardians, and the journal's riddles make for a fun and interesting plot. I couldn't wait to read more and see what happened next. I loved the nods to other fairy tales, some obvious and others more subtle.

    The slow burn tension between Emery and Ryder is ::chef's kiss:: absolute perfection! There's no spice, and I don't think the story needed it. The build up of the tension and potential kept my romance loving heart happy.

    I finished the story and immediately wanted more! Kate, I need book two yesterday! I can't recommend this story enough!

    “Does that frighten you, Emery? Being on a ship with a man who feels nothing, no pain, no love, no anger, nor fear?”

    “This is why it’s always better to sail alone,” I mutter to myself. “Nobody to rescue, and no infuriating princes to deal with.”

    “I need more than food,” I mumble. I need rum… and therapy."

    As you can tell from my rating I LOVED this book. I have never read a 'pirate fantasy' book before and didn't quite know what to expect but it was wonderful, enchanting and a book I wanted to just binge read!
    Within this book are parts of so many fairy tales all under the one cover and half of them you would miss if you weren't looking because the writing is so fluid and unique you aren't looking for other fairytales, you're focused on Emery and her personal journey.
    If, like me, you're a fan of slow burn then you will be cursing Kate until the next book as it is VERY slow burn and I just want to shout "let him rip your clothes off please!".
    There's some absolutely gruesome parts of this book but they made the world seem so so real. I could smell the leather and smoke. It was incredible.
    Now how long do I have to wait until book 2 because that cliffhanger was unreasonably mean 😂
    Kate, you're fantastic. Don't ever doubt yourself, especially when it comes to this book. You have so much talent and it's been a pleasure getting to know you!
