Roberts skillfully balances the emotional depth of the characters with a tense, thrilling narrative that keeps you turning pages. The pacing is perfect, allowing the romance to develop organically while the suspenseful elements keep you on edge. The depth of the themes surrounding family, trust, and resilience makes the story resonate long after you’ve finished it. Roberts’ signature writing shines through with rich, vivid descriptions and relatable, well-rounded characters. *Under Currents* is a powerful, heartfelt read that keeps you engaged until the very end. 5 stars without a doubt!"

"Best book ever. It was long, yes, but it was written so well in my opinion."

"Another rock solid Nora! This one was really a 4.5 since it was pretty damn fantastic, but I’m also fairly picky about my Nora’s, so I hold out for the elusive 5 stars. I’ve been reading her novels for over 10 years, stealing them from my mom’s bookshelf and later storing them on my Kindle, and this book reminded me why I keep coming back for more. I was Invested with a capital I. I loved Zane (and the whole Walker fam really) and Darby felt like someone I would love to be friends with. It was a more organic love story, which I appreciated since let’s be honest here, a lot of romances veer into ridiculous territory. The only thing I felt was slightly unbelievable was the amount of violence this small sect of people experienced, but honestly, I expected that from a suspense novel. It’s like all these books set around small town murders; it’s kind of the point of the book, even though you would think people would start leaving the town after x amounts of murders. That all being said, it was a great summertime read, and a gorgeous cover to boot!"
