Summary

Tonight they’ll share their darkest secrets, but tomorrow, there is no escape....

Haunting, scarily real and brilliantly executed.

A devastating tsunami is heading towards the Cornish coast. With no early warning and limited means of escape, many people won’t get away in time. 

While the terrifying reality of the news hits home, one young woman posts a message on Facebook: ‘With nowhere to run to, I’m heading to my favourite beach to watch the sunset, who wants to join me?’ A small group of people follow her lead and head towards the beach; all of them are harbouring their own stories - and their own secrets.

As they come together in the dying light of the Cornish sunset, they will discover something much more powerful than they ever imagined. But there is no escaping the dawn...the wave is coming....

Profile Image for Carl S

Intersting concept, lacks a bit of expected drama

The idea sounded really appealing for me, so really wanted to like this book. I like books that develop characters as the story progresses and you find out more about why they end up where they are. But I felt this didn't quite expand on some of the back stories that had good opportunities and I was expecting more drama overall at the thought of a huge wave coming to end it all for you! Overall, decent listen but lacked a bit of punch. (And I want one of those iPads or phones with endless battery life, plus to find such a reliable signal in Cornwall :-)!)

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
