panSimilar vibe as Shiver but not as good. Varying viewpoints and a bunch of unreliable characters. You can‘t trust anyone in this book. For me, it just took way too long to get anywhere. It was longer than it needed to be and the suspense wasn‘t enough to fuel it. More action was needed to really make this a higher rating for me. And then it ended and I just was underwhelmed. Not my fave.
pickSuper good. Had me guessing the whole Time trying to figure out who the bad guy was!!!! Was definitely not expecting that ending!
panKenna, the MC is thick as a post. On nothing more than an announcement by her best friend that she is getting married, Kenna drops everything and travels halfway around the globe to see her. There she encounters a “tribe” of peculiar people who want to surf all day. Her idea to get her best friend back to England is to persuade the others to return to their families but she is as subtle as an ax. There is little suspense, it‘s just a stupid plot

pickReynolds‘ second thriller moves from the dangers of the ski slopes to the Australian surf! Worries about her best friend, Kenna travels to convince Mikki to return home with her. But Mikki has found a group of fellow surfers who take things to the extreme- even when it‘s clear that they are taking lethal risks. Fast-paced and with a sort of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE-vibe, this is an exciting read! Look what creature tried to read over my shoulder!
pickI loved Reynold's debut novel, 'Shiver,' so I couldn't wait to read her newest, US title 'The Swell.'
When Kenna learns her bff''s is engaged, she travels to a remote beach in AU where she's forced to confront her own fears in a cult-like surfer commune. This suspenseful thriller kept me on the edge of my seat as I raced through its pages. I loved the characters & plot, but the ending left me wanting more. ARC in exchange for an honest review.
