OMG! Another fantastic read by TJ Newman.
Edge of your seat thriller the entire time.
So easy to put yourself in the passengers’ place and be terrified just the same.

Out now! [Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a gifted copy!]
Rating: 4/5 stars
Will and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon’s are in the air for six minutes when their plane crashes into the ocean and begins to sink—leaving Shannon’s mother and a team of rescuers to try and save the passengers before time runs out.
The synopsis of Drowning promises a pulse-pounding edge-of-your-seat action thriller, and honestly, it delivers. The tension and drama is palpable from the first page, and I found myself continually reading because I just had to know what would happen.
There is also an almost surprising amount of emotion in this book—you might expect it to deliver only tension and chaos, but I found myself tearing up more than once, and the entire ending hits like a gut punch (and then resolves in near-perfection).
In short, if you want a super fast, super exciting read this summer, this is the book you should be reaching for.
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: action thrillers; rescue stories; ensemble casts
CW: Death/injury (including fire); child death; grief
