Although I read Shockwaves on the commute to work, without any real danger (aside from maybe some degree of mild annoyance at missed signals and cancelled trains) Suzanna Williams made me feel as if I were free running through Shrewsbury, plunging into uninviting waters and clinging for dear life to a hope of rescuing a girl I barely knew!
I don't want to say too much because the plot is so well designed that all the information is given to you at precisely the time you need it so to give you any more would not do the book justice. I will say that Shockwaves takes you straight into the action with a terrifying car chase and hit and run accident. The action subsides enough for you to get to know the characters, Lee Banner (the hero) Paige Harper (the heroine) David Rochester (MI6), Conall O'Shea (the villain) and a host of others who you grow to like and even look forward to seeing again - Andy is particularly good in my opinion. O' Shea is well thought out as the unhinged villain and it was interesting to hear his thoughts and views throughout the book. It was good to see O'Shea's perspective and understand his motives it made him seem much more real and also more scary as a result! As the book progressed through to the very last chapters I found I was having to remind myself to breath, I literally couldn't turn the pages fast enough the action was so intense and the climax is exactly that ... spectacular!
Despite not being the potential target audience for a Young Adult novel I was surprised by how well it translated into adulthood. The struggles and trials faced by the main character Lee Banner are so well written that they can be interpreted into many elements of everyday life, his positivity, strength and humorous take on life is refreshing and honest and I think this is why Lee is the reason I couldn't put Shockwaves down...
It is easy to see that Shockwaves was designed for the Young Adult market, but I think it is an ideal read for anyone with an appetite for action and a thirst for adventure! I'm really looking forward to the next in the trilogy!
Thanks Suzanna!
