See more of my reviews on The YA Kitten!There are books out there that are so creepy/strange that they drive some readers away and draw in others who want to bask in its strange beauty.

And it looked to be dark, creepy fantasy, which hooked me in even more.When the Sea is Rising Red did not disappoint. It was dark, creepy,...
3.5-4 range. When The Sea is Rising Red was a little bit of an odd reading experience for me. It was one of my most anticipated reads of 2012, so when I got my hands on it awhile back, I was super excited and maybe holding it to too-high a standard.
