Drowning by T.J. Newman

Whoo! What a ride. The endorsement on the cover captures it perfectly. It reads like a space-y suspense novel, fiery and full of heart pounding technical details. The character tie-ins are fine, but that's not what anyone's here for. We want the action!

Thank you NetGalley and Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

WOW!! MIND BLOWN!! PHENOMENAL!! Drowning is an extremely INTENSE suspense/thriller that will grab a hold of you and not let you go! I am talking about full on adrenaline rush and being on the edge of your seat the entire time! Once I started reading I couldn't stop because I had to know what was going to happen next. You ever think that things can't get worse and the next thing you know it does!?! AHHH!! By the end of this rollercoaster of a ride, I was exhausted emotionally and physically. This book is easily one of my favorite reads this year!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Six minutes after take off Flight 1421 it crashes into the ocean. While evacuating an engine explodes and the plane is flooded. The remaining people on the plane are forced to close the doors and the plane begins to sink! Will the twelve people trapped inside be rescued or will they die? They are on borrowed time with every minute that passes due to running out of air! 

Is this story just about a plane crash? No, its so much more! The story is about love, hope, loss, second chances and the lengths a parent will go to for their child. The author has a way of making you feel so connected to the characters that you feel like your right there with them. This is my first read by Newman but it will not be my last! I highly recommend this book and it deserves a million stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
