Book Overview
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM WARNER BROTHERS PICTURES * "Reads like Apollo 13 underwater." --Don Winslow * "Masterful." --Patricia Cornwell * "A stunningly vivid tour de force " Gripping. Shocking." --Brad Thor Flight attendant turned New York Times bestselling author T. J. Newman's adrenaline-fueled thriller about a commercial jetliner that crashes into the ocean and sinks to the bottom with passengers trapped inside--and the extraordinary rescue operation to save them. Six minutes after takeoff, Flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. During the evacuation, an engine explodes and the plane is flooded. Those still alive are forced to close the doors--but it's too late. The plane sinks to the bottom with twelve passengers trapped inside. More than two hundred feet below the surface, engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are waist-deep in water and fighting for their lives. Their only chance at survival is an elite rescue team on the surface led by professional diver Chris Kent--Shannon's mother and Will's soon-to-be ex-wife--who must work together with Will to find a way to save their daughter and rescue the passengers from the sealed airplane, which is now teetering on the edge of an undersea cliff. There's not much time. There's even less air. With devastating emotional power and heart-stopping suspense, Drowning is an unforgettable thriller about a family's desperate fight to save themselves and the people trapped with them--against impossible odds.

I was gripping this book with white knuckles! Great suspense! Imagine… five minutes into a flight and it lands in the water… you’re trapped. OMG! I was panicking for the characters in this book. Definitely a page turner! I could not put this book! A few tears fell towards the end. Whew!
Suspense
Published by TinaLovesToRead , 1 year ago
This is a Dark Suspense, but I would not call this a mystery or thriller. There is no real twist, but there is suspense and build up. I really loved this book, and I did not want to put this book down. I also fell in love with all of these characters. I also do not want to fly again in my life. This book puts you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. The ending of this book was just so great. This is a must read book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
