Something in the Water: A Novel

Oh my gosh! This was such a twisty, chilling, fascinating thriller! I loved it. Erin is one of my favorite flawed heroines. She does some bad, but not too bad, things, but I was on her side throughout the entire book. The ending took me by surprise, mostly, but I had my suspicions before that. Loved it!

When I selected this book I pictured the movie ‘Dead Calm’ based on the description. Unfortunately it didn’t turn out to be similar. I had an extremely strong dislike to one of the main characters. Overall this book was just okay for me. Nothing special.

This book was actually really fun to read! My haters will say i fell asleep on it during the first 75 pages but the real ones know after page 75 is where all the action started happening anyway.

She’s a real page turner! Had me intrigued and wanting to see how everything would unfold as it was unfolding. This was a puzzle i enjoyed seeing fall into place. The FMC pmo multiple times throughout due to silly thinking but in the end the end happened. Great read, would def recommend. Not a FAV id RAVE about but i enjoyed it.

I guess everyone has a bookclub now and this is Reese Witherspoons's pick. I was expecting something a lot better. It was a very slow build. Obviously, the title gives you a hint. Something will be found in the water. What? How will it affect you? Erin and Mark are a young couple on their honeymoon in Bora Bora when they discover something in the water. That does not happen until page 112. See what I mean about a slow build? There was so much back story, especially about Erin's career, which does have a part in the story but oh my, the wait....The story did not pick up the pace for me until the last 100 pages. By that time, I was too invested to quit reading. I wanted to know what happened, not just about what was found in the water but what was going on in chapter one. The story comes back to that moment and figure it all out. I don't want to give anything away but things are not always as they seem. I will however say that the choices Erin makes are not very believable. I had to stretch my imagination for some of the things she was able to do in like two minutes while under mounting pressure (erasing CCTV monitors?). Really? :/

Excellent story. Listened on audio. Intense thriller.
