I really like R.C. Boldt, especially her romantic suspense books. Washed Away was engrossing and intriguing. While I figured out a big plot point pretty early on I wasn’t sure the motivation behind it. Others parts were surprising while another was completely unexpected. I enjoyed how this story was told, learning about Alex through journal entries before she even knew who she was. Washed Away kept me reading to see what happened because I honestly had no idea on how this story would play out.
I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
