The Drowning Kind starts with such an eerie foretelling and maintains a level of tenseness throughout the pages. I felt on edge the entire time, which I loved. With McMahon's signature of telling two tales between timelines that end up interweaving a haunting mystery, this one is definitely a book everyone should pick up soon.
From the characters to the setting, I was immersed immediately into the story and didn't come up for air until well after the final page.
