Dan Perez hasn’t just crafted a good book; he’s created characters and a story that will hopefully carry forward into additional works. I thoroughly enjoyed the read!

So much to love about the book! I was very drawn to the characters, the action and the Houston setting. It was easy to visualize the story and it was quite a page turner. I think there needs to be a sequel!
Rima Bonario
What’s not to love about this book? It’s a fast-paced thriller with a hot vampire who teams up with a strong and spunky scientist on a hunt for a truly vile villain. Alex and Emelia have great chemistry. I’m ready for the next book in what I hope will become a long series – and my next obsession!
Jordan Sprague
A must read! Dan Perez did a fantastic job bringing the supernatural to the real world of Houston. The character development, storyline, and attention to detail will captivate you. I couldn’t put it down. Overall, a great read and I hope there’s more to come from Perez in this series.

The Tide Pool
In Port Covenant, Texas, nobody gets bitten by mosquitoes. There hasn’t been a hurricane since the Calamity of ’62. The fishing and shrimping is abundant, the waters are calm, and rare shells wash up onto the beach from faraway oceans. And there is a rumor about a hidden beach cove festooned with gold.
Fourteen-year-old Ellie Morgan is skeptical of the boons. She’s curious about the perfectly circular tide pool on the beach — the one that forms a whirlpool at nightfall. She’s wary of the church her mother attends: Our Lady of the Tides.
Then Ellie notices a small patch of scales growing on her arm. Her young friends have them too. And the adults in Port Covenant don’t seem surprised at all.
The Tide Pool is a Lovecraftian coming-of-age horror novel in the tradition of Stranger Things and early Stephen King — where the scariest thing isn’t the eldritch mystery beneath the water. It’s the parents who already know it’s there.
