Reception

The book was praised by S.J. Watson as 'Brilliantly written and totally gripping...It's such a thrill to read a book as deliciously dark and richly evocative as Tideline. From the first page to its shocking finale it draws you into its world and won't let go'.[1] It was also praised by Marie Claire[2] and Laura Wilson in The Guardian who described the book as a 'creepy, well-written debut', praising the portrayal of Sonia but describing the portrayal of Jez as less successful.[3] The book was also featured on the Richard & Judy bookclub[4] and praised in the Daily Mail.[5]
