The Tides of Our Sins
Emilia Davenport is ready to die.
She always knew her time would come sooner rather than later, and now, as she stands over the edge of the cliff on the impending one-year anniversary of her twin daughters' disappearance, she's finally ready to bring this idea to fruition.
After a night of celebration quickly turned tragic at her family's vineyard last summer, Emilia's worst nightmare came true when her sixteen-year-old daughters didn't come home. The only thing more grim was watching it destroy her husband and five-year-old son in equal measure.
Caught in a chokehold between hope and grief, Emilia listens to the intrusive thoughts in her head, telling her to end it all. But as she hovers at the precipice of death, her phone rings, and she has no idea it's the call she's been waiting on for eleven months.
Someone needs to reach her before it's too late.

Another intense story from Amy Tackett. It is under 100 pages, so it’s easy to dive into and get lost in the story. We’re there with Emilia and her family through all the drama. As usual, Amy pulls the rug out from under you several times and I loved it.
If you’re looking for a tense, quick read then this is the one for you.

This story is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish, brilliantly written and deeply moving. The tale of Emilia Davenport, a mother standing on the edge of a cliff both literally and figuratively, gripped me from the very beginning. As the one-year anniversary of her twin daughters' disappearance approaches, Emilia's despair is palpable, her grief a constant companion since that tragic night at her family's vineyard.
The plot is masterfully crafted, weaving suspense and raw emotion into a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
What sets this story apart is its ability to convey the depth of Emilia's pain while also highlighting the strength of the human spirit. The portrayal of a family torn apart by tragedy, yet still clinging to hope, is both realistic and powerful.
This book is a must-read for those who appreciate deeply emotional stories with a hint of suspense. The exceptional writing elevates an already gripping tale, making it an unforgettable journey through the darkest of times and the faintest glimmers of hope.
