Tsunami Blue

review 1: This is story telling at the finest. The author has a great sense of story, balance, action and romance.SYNOPSIS:Earth has been destroyed by tidal waves or ‘tsunamis’. Billions are dead, most of civilization is under water. Governments have failed en masse, and pirates rule the seas, islands, and coastal towns. “Blue” lives alone with her dog on an island. She can accurately predict tsunamis by supernatural means, and warns people over shortwave radio. She saves thousands, but grieves and is weighted down by guilt for the ones she didn’t save. One night, a beautiful man is washed ashore dying from hypothermia. Blue saves him, then regrets it because she discovers Gabriel is a ‘runner’ or pirate. The pirates want to capture Blue, because he who predi... morects tsunamis, rules the world. Gabriel forces Blue to leave her isolation on the island and flee for their lives from the pirate/runner fleet. PROS:The Story!!! It was fun and exciting and suspenseful. I actually got up early on a Saturday to read it. A Saturday. My only day to sleep in. Just so you understand how enjoyable it is.The paranormal aspect was handled elegantly. It was merely a backdrop for the story. I loved the twists and turns. Not knowing if Gabriel is a good guy falling in love with Blue or an evil runner who is a master at manipulating a lonely young woman’s emotions. The novel leaves you guessing up to the very end.CONS:The only significant thing I noticed was the pace of the narrative was a bit disjointed and jumpy at the cage scene. I wasn’t quite sure who was where during that scene. OPINION:Couldn’t put it down, so it gets 5 stars.
review 2: Gayle Ann Williams builds an amazing, tsunami-ravaged world where civilization is on the edge of evaporation and those who have survived either hate or hang onto a voice coming from their ham radios: Tsunami Blue. The water talks to her, warns of "monster waves coming," and she feels compelled to use her gift to save lives. But everyone wants a piece of her, especially the Runners, brutal and ruthless modern-day sea pirates who see many ways to profit from Blue. If only they can capture her. She's on the run and forced to rely on Runner Gabriel Black. Will he betray her or help her?Set in the Pacific Northwest amid the San Juan Islands, the book is one wave of action after another, buffeting the gutsy heroine who isn't afraid to take on the Big and the Bad because she was raised by one. It is an interesting view of the destruction to families and lives by natural disasters as Blue comes upon orphaned children who watched parents being swept away forever. What happens to society when everyone is alone, support services are gone, and food and goods are scarce? Do we choose to stay human or become animals?The cover art is stunning, and the eBook, which I read, was well formatted and user friendly. This is more than a paranormal romance. I would like the dialogue (both external and internal) to be a little snappier and less predictable, but this is a good debut novel. I look forward to more from Williams and the Tsunami Blue series. — Sherry Roberts, author of Book of Mercy and Maud's House less
