The third book in the almost unknown series Serpent Tide, by K.L. Fogg (equally unknown), Diamondback Cave appears to me as an attempt to draw in an older crowd. The previous two books were aimed at readers at a third to sixth grade reading level. While Diamondback Cave's style remains ideal for this level, the plot line seems a poor attempt to create drama and romance. As far as I can tell, all this has done is make the younger readers skip over the "gushy" parts.

Well...this series was a bit on the odd side. None of it was very believable, and it seemed to jump around a lot. As soon as they get over one problem, a new, bigger problem comes up, which was kind of annoying. They did have several funny parts in them, though. I thought Jack was pretty funny at times. For some reason, it seemed to me that Wesley wasn't as well developed as the other characters, even though he's the main character.
I loved this book, I read this one first out of all the others even though it is the last book, but it didnt give away too much about the other books and it gives enough information to know what they are talking about! It is adventureous, mysterious, and a little bit romantic. It was quite a thriller, that made you want to keep reading on and on to the end. By the end you will wish there was another book to read.
A thrilling conclusion to the trilogy. The book opens with a lot of action and excitement. The last half of the book turns slightly philosphical as the one of the hero's has an internal struggle he has to overcome. Sort of soap-opera-ish from the middle to the end. This one has some more grown-up ideas in it than the first two. A quick read. My sons really liked it.
I read this (the third) book before I read 'Widow's Revenge' (the sequel to the first book) and I still understood most of what had happened from references and clues. It's not like Harry Potter where they flat out tell you what has happened before, which is buggery.
I liked this book, but it did get quite predictable. The first book of the series is good but wanting a sequel. But having not read the second book, I don't know whether this was a good addition to the trilogy that K.L. Fogg has crea...more

The plot in this book seems to meander all over the place. It's written for kids in 5th or 6th grades, but the themes and emotions etc. seem geared more for adults. I can't see 5th grade kids being all that interested in someone's marriage. My kids loved the first two in this series, but not this book, after reading it I can see why.
For those looking for a squeaky clean read, this qualifies.

This was my least favorite of the trilogy. It got pretty convoluted and even a bit cheesy at times.
I did like the resolution, which I won't share because I don't want to spoil the book.
I did think that the wrap up "final scene" after the main resolution was pretty lame and the last two or three pages ridiculously cheesy

I was so excited that this book came out! I absolutely loved the first two books! I finished it in two days! It would've been faster, had I had more time to read it. I loved the twists of the plot in the book. The beginning was pretty predictable, but I like it when I can predict it. The rest of the book just twisted and turned constantly! I thought one thing was going to happen, and the exact opposite happend! This book was wonderful, but I could've been better. The editor must not have gone th...more
This book was good because it was action at the beginning and it kept the rest of the previous books going. The thing I did not like was the ending and it dragged on about how one of the characters "Maggie" lost her memory.
An amazing conclusion to the trilogy! It is so suspenseful and keeps you wondering and hoping that it turns out okay. It is full of surprises and you can never guess what will happen in each new chapter.
I have loved this book! It has you turning each page, not wanting to put it down. Although the last half is'nt as exciting as the other books, but it is very interesting. I love this series!
Final book in the series. I liked the plot twists, the overall story and the characters. It ended kind of abruptly for me, but overall was really great.
Again I loved this book it was really sad at some parts and really funny at others. I've really come to love the characters of these books and I'm sure I'll enjoy them over and over time and time again. I'd highly recommend this series (and have) to anyone who loves good family morales, funny characters, and a never ending adventure.
I think every book in this series is wonderful. easy reads that holds your attention. The new characters are great asset and I really enjoyed the book.
It is the last one in the series so I was sad when it ended. I loved it though and hope the author writes more books!!!!

Chock full of action; I appreciated the elements of forgiveness woven into the story. Diamondback Cave is a fine addition to the first two books.
This book was just as good as the other books in the series. It is a page turner. I wish there were more books in the series though!
This one was just about as good as the first one! A really fun read, has a fair amount of action, and is just really good!
Recommended by Sherri. It was a children's book. Good but long. Things hidden in caves and bad men trying to get. Ok
I thought this book, was very... Hard to explain. Like come on. That happens once in a million years. When she got locked in an airtight vault and then a safe. Really? It just had a lot going on at once. But it did keep you on your toes, making sure you were paying attention because you never knew what was going to happen.
Great for all the kids in my home age 8 and up, mom and dad too. A clean adventure I would recommend for anyone.
these seiries did inspier me to read as well but not as much as others and i ove this book and need to read it again.
