Rapid Falls edition by Amber Cowie Literature Fiction eBooks

This was one twisted Kindle First pick of the month. If psychological thrillers are your thing then ‘Rapid Falls’ is a perfect read. Things are never what they seem, just when you think you have resolution there is another twist added, I luckily was on a flight to Perth so had time to do nothing but read it... wow.

Following the stories of two sisters, Anna and Cara who are in a fatal accident that claims the life of Cara’s boyfriend Jesse where Anna is charged with a felony DUI, the story moves between the late nineties and 2016.

The events leading up to the accident are revealed slowly, so the reader begins to piece together what really happened. While Anna’s life goes down the drain after spending time in prison, Cara’s life seems perfect with her husband and daughter...

However not all is as it seems... as there are so many twists in this plot, be prepared to madly swipe as I did... From sibling rivalry, alcoholism, poor choices and a twist that is truly unexpected this debut novel by Amber Crowe is one of a kind.

Rapid Falls edition by Amber Cowie Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I hate when the bad guy wins.
to stick by your device to read one of the twistiest novels I have ever read in my 60+ years of reading pleasure.

I'm afraid of giving away too much of the plot. Check out the first two five star reviews NicShef❤️Reading and Laurie. I don't follow either of them here on , but based on this sample of their writing and opinions, I'm going to carefully consider doing so.

This book is very close to unique in my reading experience.

The book is called Rapid Falls because that’s the name of the city’s waterfall; in reality, it should be called Rapid Falls because of the characters’ rapid fall into despair and wallowing. Here’s the thing.. if you start a movie or book by telling me there’s a “huge twist,” I usually figure out the twist because my brain goes into hyperdrive looking for the red herrings and opportunities for misdirection. So I went into this book figuring I already knew what was going to happen, or some variation of the scenario. The thing is, I didn’t really have to think too hard because the clues were blatantly obvious to me.

You get a sense of who Cara is within the first few pages, and more insights are given in those first couple chapters until the fullness of who she is becomes completely clear. Anna is really only described through the extremely dysfunctional nature/aftermath of her various actions as relayed by Cara.

The book is kind of a slow, quiet read...I’m not sure how else to describe it. Cara is the only narrator, and most everything seems shrouded in grays and monotones because of her take on things. About 30% into the book I realized that this book was going to be a black hole leading to misery, but I kept reading to see if my theories were correct. The only “twisty” (and I use that word loosely here) things that happen started around 83% of my count, which is a long time to wait in a story that’s supposed to be gripping.

Honestly, it’s just a sad story. Even the part that’s supposed to be unexpected just ended up being a worse version of what I had already figured had happened. You’ll get the answers of what happened and the reasons, but be advised that there is no justice at the end. I gave Rapid Falls two stars because it is well-written in terms of grammar and vocabulary and the author does explain Cara to the fullest. Unfortunately, this story was just not my cup of tea.
I found the plot of Rapid Falls entertaining and engaging but wow, is this one depressive read. The entire story revolves around evil, deceit, pettiness, jealousy, lies, and questionable death. The First Read notice classified this as a thriller but psychological thriller is a better description. Even then, that's a stretch because there isn't really a lot action nor thrills to be found. It actually reads more like a memoir for most of the story. I felt like I was reading the life story of one seriously dysfunctional family.

The narrative alternates between present day and the mid 90's. The 90's timeline involves events focused around a tragic incident. The current timeline focuses on how the incident impacted the lives of each sister and how they've attempted to move on. The plot for reach period unfolds slowly as the author prefers to let the plot slowly simmer as it builds momentum. The problem is, it's too slow at times. There were moments where it felt like a bad reality show with very unlikeable people. The twists and turns were few and I pretty much figured out the biggest reveal 10% into the story.

If you're looking for a happy ending, uplifting or feel-good story, this is the complete opposite. In fact, one character was so mercilessly tortured while the other was so smug, petty and unlikeable, I found myself losing interest in both. One was out of pity, the other apathy. The story held my interest enough to finish although the ending fell a little flat. It was a little too convenient to be believable and in some ways felt rushed compared to how slowly the rest of the story unfolded.
