Seize The Storm by Michael Cadnum, 233 pages
Told from different points of view, this is short
psychological thriller that falls a little flat. Jeremy, with Elwood and Shako is off to
retrieve some money for his father.
Jeremy’s father is involved with some shady dealings and a boat that
they know made its delivery but didn’t return with the cash is now dead on the
water. Jeremy is in a helicopter looking
for it. Another boat, containing cousins
Martin and Susanna, Susannah’s parents, Leonard and Claudette, and another crew
member named Axel is in the water nearby searching for salvage. Of course, we as readers know that an
encounter is inevitable and that it can’t possibly have good results. The problem is that the book doesn’t build
enough emotion and I thought the ending was a little anti-climactic. It’s not horrible and some teens will maybe
still enjoy it but teens that are really looking for a good scare will probably
be disappointed.
