Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

A Dark and Drowning Tide is my new personality trait. I loved every minute of this book. Slightly toxic sapphic romances you will always have my heart.

Saft's worldbuilding was unique, exciting, and whimsical. The storyline was mysterious, exciting and enrapturing. I loved each of the characters as much as I hated them for all (with the exception of Sylvia, she can do no wrong in my eyes) being awful people. It's one of those books I'll be thinking about for a long time even after I've finished it, and I'm definitely planning on re-reading it once it officially releases.

Without a shadow of a doubt this book is a five star read.
