Another fun, action-packed read from T.J. Newman! I read her first two books, FALLING and DROWNING, and appreciated her perspective for her plane-themed thrillers being a former flight attendant, and I appreciated even more that WORST CASE SCENARIO took it to a little bit of a different place. Instead of being on the plane, the plane is the cause of the disaster, crashing into a nuclear power plant.
I really enjoy these action-packed books that feel like watching an action movie! It's a great change of pace from my "normal" psychological thrillers and I really enjoy the writing style throughout this book. There's always something going on and T.J. Newman really makes you care for the characters too. It's not really something I would have thought about with a fast-paced book like this, caring about character development, but I really got attached to the main characters!
The only thing that felt weird to me was the pacing. I kept expecting all of this action to lead up to something else, but solving this problem is the whole book. That wasn't a bad thing, but I don't know why that pacing felt weird since the book had a countdown to this zero hour that I should have known would be the end of the book anyway.
AUDIOBOOK THOUGHTS: I listened to this as an audiobook and I really enjoyed the narration! This was narrated by Joe Morton, who I don't know if I've listened to before, but I like this voice for the book! It was third person so Joe Morton is the narrator for the whole book. I think he did a really nice job with all of the voices and the excitement level for everything that was happening! The only complaint I had was the pronunciation of "nuclear" considering that's what this book was about.
