Flash by Michael Cadnum

Flash by Michael Cadnum - 240 Pages

"When two teenage brothers bungle a bank robbery, their attempt to hide the evidence is witnessed—aurally—by Terrence, a legally blind neighbor. Terrence tells his girlfriend, Nina, and her brother, who then disappears with a handgun. Nina is afraid of what he might do to the brothers. But she also has every reason to fear what the brothers will do to Terrence. "

The first chapter's beginning and ending sentence was an instant hook to a definitely out of the ordinary sibling adventure brothers Milton and Bruce have planned.

Seize the Storm by Michael Cadnum


Seize the Storm by Michael Cadnum - 233 Pages

"Sailing the family yacht from California to Hawaii, cousins Martin and Susanna-along with Susanahh's feuding parents and one other crewman-are driven by heavy weather into a ghostly encounter with a drifting powerboat. The boat carries the bodies of two men and a huge stash of money. For the sailors, stealing the dead men's treasure changes everything, causing dissent and division but also putting their futures at risk. Because now they will be hunted down in a relentless pursuit by the worst enemies imaginal-including a baby-faced hit man with murder on his mind."


Full of suspense this book is! Although I originally wanted to check this book out because it mentioned Hawaii (made me think of my family)... it was a fairly interesting read! You don't get much stories that talk about survival from the sea.
