Review
"*AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! I'm not sure how to begin this review and remain professional... so I'll just be honest. I FUDGING loved this book! (SOOO SOOO MUCH!) It was *fantastic!=)..." ~ Nancy Figueroa, Tumbling Books, book blog "A Fun Debut Novel! My favorite part of the book was their time on the island. The *character dynamics were well done, and Casey clearly put a lot of thought into what they would need to do to survive, not just physically but emotionally. This was a fun book and a promising debut novel..." *~ Ally Arendt- Word Vagabond
"Fun read! I am a big fan of young adult books, *this is one of my favorites. I have actually *re read this book multiple times." ~ Hipsterduck, Amazon Reviewer "This book, for lack of a better word, was *amazing. From the character intros, to the last page, I was intrigued. Elle clearly understood teens, because all of their motivations and goals were believable; even the way in which they became stranded was believable. *I LOVED EVERY aspect of this book. I definitely recommend it, *a must-read." ~ *Brandon, Goodreads Reviewer
From the Author
I pretty much grew up on the East Coast of Florida, so I went to the beach a lot, and whenever I did, I was always looking out at the water wondering ... "What if...?" What if I were stranded out on a boat somewhere, in shark-infested waters, and then washed up on a beach of a deserted island... How would I survive? For probably 30 years or more, I contemplated these questions every time I went to the beach or thought about the water, so I had a LOT of time to think about the details. This book was inside my head, in the making, for a really long time. That's why it's the first book I wrote, because it was finally time to get it out of my head and onto paper (or I should say, into my computer). When I found out about self-publishing for the Kindle, I thought, "What the heck? Maybe someone will like it as much as I do." Now, several years later, with over 40 books written and a few spots on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, I can say that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It literally changed my life. I'm really glad that I spent so much time daydreaming while I was at the beach, and I'm even happier that I took a chance on this story and shared it with the world. :) *SEQUEL ALERT* This book was originally written without plans for a sequel. But so many readers asked for one, it was done. Published on December 31, 2012, RECKLESS picks up where WRECKED left off.
