Falling: A Novel

Review I received a free electronic copy of the ARC of this excellent debut novel from Netgalley, T. J. Newman, and Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read 'Falling' of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. I am pleased to recommend T. J. Newman to friends and family and hope for a second work from her toot sweet. The tension never falters as we travel the sky's with pilot Bill and his friend Jo, or attend meetings with the California FBI or Bill's family and friends. This is a fast read you simply cannot put aside till you complete our tale. The protagonists are sympathetic, the horror very real, even the bad guys are coming from an understandable aspect we can see if not tolerate. Bill and Carrie's children, Little Leaguer Scott, and baby Elise play an important role in this adventure. The inclusion of both the family and other, random people touched by this tragedy gives this tale its special sauce, in my opinion. Give it a go. You won't be disappointed.

This is the third book of this type (after Seat 7a by Sebastian Fitzek and Hostage by Claire Mackintosh) that I have read in the last few months and this one was the best. There was little filler before the plot started and the momentum continued throughout. It'll be interesting to read what this author comes up with next!

I bought it on a whim in the "under $5" section, which is where I have found the best stories and emerging authors. This is no different, wonderfully captivating and fantastically written. Please give it a read, and to the author...please keep writing.
