Summary
When a massive storm surge hits the central coast of California, the ferocious surf destroys buildings, floods streets, and washes up something sinister from the depths of the Monterey Bay.
Peter, a retired state lifeguard, knows the water better than anyone. Carla, owner of a beach-side restaurant, is still mourning the loss of her son in a boating accident. While both love their quaint small town with spectacular views, their personal lives are as complicated as the changing weather forecasts.
After a mysterious creature in the water kills two men, Peter and Carla are plunged into a living nightmare as a massive tidal surge traps them and their friends in a battered, unstable building.
While the storm rages through the night, they discover something horrifying swims between them and escape, just waiting to attack anyone within reach.
They need to make life or death decisions to survive.
But first, they need to make it to morning.
Inspired by real events, A Dark and Rising Tide is part of Debra Castaneda’s Dark Earth Rising series of standalone novels. Listen to the books in any order.

A gripping, thrilling listen
This is my first book by the author, and won't be the last. This ticked a lot of boxes for me - small town, coastal setting, stormy, creature feature - so my excitement was high going in, and I'm glad to be able to say that the story lived up to it.
I want to avoid spoiling any of the story, as I had a blast going in blind, but if the synopsis appeals to you then this will be one you want to bump up your TBR. I was concerned at first that too many characters were going to be introduced, but the focus narrows on a select few as the story goes on, and I enjoyed spending time with all of them.
The writing was excellent. Often a story around inclement weather or creatures can live or die by the descriptions, but both are handled deftly here, Castaneda does a wonderful job of creating imagery and making you feel the full force of the storm. I can't say the book scared me necessarily, but there were plenty of tense moments, and I found myself constantly thinking "just one more chapter" - always a great sign.
