This books is addictive. It is one of those books where the action is non-stop and you feel like you are on a non-stop wave yourself (yes I did really just write that). I could not put the book down. Before I knew it, I was done with the book and then I was stumped. There were some story holes that weren't filled. hmmm, I even went back to see if I missed those small gaps in the story. Nope, I didn't. Oh well, it still was a great, fun read and hopefully there will be a book 2!

3.5 stars for originality and my love of ocean stories- It was a great story with a girl that the ocean talks to, it tells her of up coming tsunami's starting with the one in Singapore 2004. The world become a "water world" with pirates all nasty and disgusting, reeking terror on sea and land. The nasties are truly nasty and the cities left are ugly and ruled with gangs and thieves.This part was very good.
I had trouble with another part of the book, she is a virgin/he is not, she fell for him too easy. It did not fit her character at all, she became this wishy washy girl instead of a tough survivalist we were lead to believe she is. Oh, and this part made me want to scream, he practiced with her to get her ready for his enormous...over and over, oh please don't put that in your next novel Ms. Williams the story was good on it's own with out the stupid bits. Even with the few flaws and yes there were just a few, I look forward to reading more work from this author
A fast book I finished in two days.

A simply awesome tale that captured me on page one and held on tight till I closed the cover several hours later. I loved the world building by Williams and her characters, main and secondary, were fun and totally believable. She obviously knows how the minds of young mischievous boys work. As a debut author she totally blew me away with the descriptions of places. They were vivid in my mind for hours. You could feel the hopelessness and fear of her characters while yet an underlying possibility that Earth would survive these terrible tsunamis. Im not sure if this is a standalone or there will be more adventures of Blue and her pirates. I sincerely hope so as this world was too fascinating and exciting to get only one visit.

After a massive tsunami wiped out most of the population, including her family, Kathryn "Blue" O'Malley picked up her shortwave radio and started broadcasting warnings. The waves talk to Blue and warn her when to run. Blue in turn warns the public as Tsunami Blue. Blue is hated and feared since she is different and has spent the years hiding from Runners (pirates) who want to use her power for their own gain. Her solitary existence is interrupted when a man washes ashore on her island. Gabriel Black is a Runner but something is different about him and Blue intends to find out.
I enjoyed Blue's story and really liked Gabriel. It's a shame this isn't the start of a series because there could surely be a few adventures with Blue and Gabriel.
