The Swell by Allie Reynolds

2.0

I loved the setup of The Swell. Remote location thrillers are my favourite, and I loved the idea of a beach with great surfing in the middle of nowhere, with only a few people in a cultlike group that know about it. There was some nice tension in trying to figure out the history of the different characters and who might be dangerous, and I loved the surfing and climbing scenes.

By about halfway, however, the book started to really drag for me. Kenna's constant questioning of the group wasn't very smart, and felt repetitive. And the final twist was both predictable and a bit nonsensical.
