[Tinkerbell · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book! The backdrop of the story was unfamiliar to me: I've never been scuba diving... even snorkeling makes me nervous. And I have only been inside ONE cave. However, I felt enveloped in Liz's world. The characters are intriguing, the storyline is addicting and heart-pumping, and the plot is full of mystery and danger. There is a small section of the book that is "adult" in content, so a word of warning to younger readers. Everyone else: If you want a Dan Brown-type ride, this book is for you.

"Beyond Reach" is a superb, nail-biting read. Bradach's solid knowledge of cave diving makes this gripping thriller exquisitely real -- to the point I was squirming during the claustrophobic cave scenes. Thanks to her talent for seamless twists and turns, I fell into the inescapable "just one more chapter" trap that readers relish.

Expertly weaving the insecurities that spring from betrayal, deception, and raw fear with the danger bred by the promise of huge corporate financial gain, "Beyond Reach" will leave you gasping for air. L. J. Bradach has set the bar high for her future books.
