Synopsis (Goodreads):
HIS SOLACE AND HIS HOPE

Randall Laster crossed Halora to hunt the kraken, sea monsters that weren't supposed to be real. Betrayed by men he trusted, he was left to die. Instead, he finds himself living with the beings once meant to be his prey. Randall struggles to find his place amongst the kraken and to find a purpose to the new course his life has taken. Hope comes in two unexpected forms: an injured, amphibious sea creature in need of care, and Rhea, a strong-willed kraken who's made no secret of her interest in him. Can he conconcile the tensions between humans and kraken and look beyond their differences so that he can claim Rhea as his own, or will old prejudices and hostilities tear them apart forever.
Thoughts on Hunter of the Tide: This story lets us see the female kraken's side of things when it comes to getting involved in a relationship with a human. Which, I must say, I liked. On the other hand, we also got to see more of the tension dividing the kraken clan and, hoo-boy, I don't think that's going to end well.

Not well, at all.

But let's talk about Rhea and Randall. Like Jax and Arkon, Rhea has been quietly accepting her loneliness. Randall's sudden introduction to their group and seeing how both Jax and Arkon have found the thing she didn't know she wanted leaves Rhea in an odd situation. She has no idea how to court a human male since female kraken don't court and, as one of the rare females of her kind, the fact that she's choosing a human over a kraken isn't looked upon well by some.

Like, I said, there's dissension in the ranks and Rhea choosing Randall doesn't help that tension in the least.

On Randall's side, he's sort of drifting now that he's no longer a hunter. He has no real purpose and he knows too much for the kraken to let him go. Proving that he can provide for Rhea and her daughter is his first step into fully joining the kraken. Actually joining with her? Well, that would be the second step.

I like these kraken and the humans who complete them. Things are unsettled now, but (eventually) I imagine it'll all work out. Eventually.
