The Shallows by Holly Craig

4.0

When Emma gets a note from a new neighbor, Ariella, begging for help to escape the dangerous and volatile nature of her husband and his business dealings, Emma risks her chance at a new life to help. When Ariella is murdered, and Emma and her young kids are the only witnesses, they're taken prisoner on a remote island, where the dangerous shallows surrounding them may be their only means of escape.

It could have been easy for rich Emma to come across as whiny or privileged, but Author Holly Craig keeps her on the right side of sympathetic and is a master at uncovering secrets and reveals at just the right time. Jam-packed with enough questions to keep you guessing, betrayals galore, and an exciting finale, The Shallows is an entertaining read.
