My To-Be Read List is a meme hosted by Because Reading is Better Than Real Life where at the beginning of the month visitors can choose which book I’ll be reading this month. On the first saturday of a month the poll will be up, then on the second saturday of the month I’ll announce the book that won and on the last saturday of the month I’ll post my review of the book.
This month’s winner is Blood Tide (Dolphin Shore Shifters #1) by C.J. Matthew. Come back on 31 October for my review! It was a really close race this month, it constantly kept switching which book had the most votes and even the end scores are pretty close. Below are the three books and how many votes each of them got:
– Demon Heart (Darkworld #3) by Emma L. Adams – 5 votes and 29,41%
– Blood Tide (Dolphin Shore Shifters #1) by C.J. Matthew – 7 votes and 41,185%

Blurb:
The Santa Barbara Channel holds a closely guarded secret…She had more than just her mission…
Sy’s rotation on land as a dolphin shifter couldn’t have come at a better time. With her best friend missing and no answers forthcoming, it was time to take matters into her own hands. And with the resources at the Save Blue Water organization, finding her friend would be a whole lot easier. Except …something sinister is going on inside SBW, something deadly, and Sy finds herself at the center of danger.The last thing he needed was bullets and bombs…
Noah Nelson spent every minute trying to forget the war while fighting his PTSD, but jumping in front of a bullet was second nature. It had nothing to do with the fact the target was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. Or that she was naked. But suddenly he’s caught up in her world, protecting her from unforeseen threats, and falling in love … but Sy’s got a secret that may rip them apart. Forever.
Those are close scores. I had a tie on my vote this month until the last moment when one book ended up getting two extra votes.
But yay for the dolphin shifter. 😉 Hope you enjoy it.
Yeah the votes stayed very close this time, it switched every time which one was on top. And then on monday Blood Tide got soem extra votes and stayed on top. Guess I’ll have to try to read the other 2 books soon as well. I am happy the dolphin shifter won, looking forward to read it!
I’ve never read dolphin shifters before, so I’m curious about that one 🙂
I recently read a book where mermaids could shift into dolphins, but none so far whcih really deals with dolphin shifters as main topic. I am really curious about how it;s handled!
dolphin huh? well, can’t wait to see your review of this one. I like shifters, never read a dolphin one.
I am a big fan of shifter stories as well and I like to read about the animals you see less often, so as soon as I heard this one was about dolphins I said yes to the review request.
Not the one I picked but I hope you enjoy it, it seems very different 🙂 Looking forward to your review!
I think this is the first book about dolphin shifters I’ve seen, so I am really curious about that. I hope I can read the other two books soon as well.
Don’t think that was the one I picked, hope you enjoy it. 🙂
Thanks I hope so too!
Not the one I voted for, but I’m still interested to see how you like Dolphin Shifters! Enjoy!
I am really curious about how the author handles the concept of dolphin shifters! Looking forward to start this one soon!
oh I love ocean themed books, they are so fun to read. I love dolphin shifters, and you don’t see them too often in books. Have you read Marjorie Liu? She has a shifter series, and in one of the books the hero is a dolphin shifter. So I will have to try this one out.
Same here! There’s something fun about reading about books with lots of water or ocean settings. I’ve reading some more mermaid books lately. I’ll have to check our Marjorie Liu, haven’t heard of her before, that’s great she also has a dolphin shifter. I like reading about the more original shifter types.
YAY! I totally picked Blood Tide! It’s so fun when your book gets chosen! Woot woot!
It’s great when the book you voted for wins :). I hope I’ll enjoy this one, I am looking forward to reading it!
Yay! I can’t wait to see your review, Lola. I really am curious about it. Happy reading! 🙂
Thanks Brandee! I am looking forward to reading it!
