Worst Case Scenario
ALL THE STARS!! I could not get enough of the audio version of this captivating, propulsive, edge of your seat thriller!
What appealed to you the most in this story?
I really cannot say too much about the story itself without creating spoilers, BUT I can tell you that Newman brought the one thing I look for in all my thrillers: that kind of jaw clenching suspense that gets your heart pounding…or in my case white knuckle gripping the steering wheel while listening in the car! The tension in this action-packed story was nonstop, and I was so engaged that I found myself talking back to the characters.
I also loved how even during all the fear and tension in this survival story there was a story about courage, friendship, community, teamwork, love, and sacrifice.
How was the audio narration?
Anytime Joe Morton narrates a thriller and/or mystery, I know it is going to be riveting. He has a way of bringing characters to life with their own personal accents, inflections, and you can really feel the individuality in each character as he tells the story. Not to mention that he has a true gift for ramping up the suspense and tension in any thriller to the point where you are holding your breath and feeling like you are almost able to play a role in the story yourself.
What to expect:
Multiple POV
Suspense
Twists
Community
High stakes tension
How was the pace?
Fast! Warp speed! Did I mention I could not stop listening to this book!?!
Do you recommend this book?
Drowning is THE must read/listen thriller, and I recommend you grab a copy pronto!!
Thank you, NetGalley and Little Brown, for this gifted audiobook in exchange for my honest review.
