Customer Reviews

Wow... that was... just—wow

Undertow was nothing I expected. I thought nothing of this book. I literally just picked the book up from bestseller because I just wanted to buy a book and didn’t end up reading it until weeks later. Well... I wish I read it sooner. Undertow felt like a mystery at first, just waiting to be unlocked and then... BOOM! Michael Buckley just decided to punch me in the face through words and pages filled with action, adventure, heartbreak, secrets, romance and everything in between. This was so different from what I normally read and I am just so happy with it. I would rate this book 6 stars if I could. Bravo sir Buckley, you’ve amazed someone quite hard to amaze.

Interest from beginning to finish! 😱

I enjoyed this one a lot! This was my first time reading any of his books. Got it as a Christmas gift. I liked how things were a mystery for awhile. I didn't know what was going on and them finally... Boom they put everything out there! You guys should give this a shot. Even if it's a YA novel. 😊😊

Sci-Fi and Mystery recommended!!

I loved this book dearly. I really enjoyed how detailed it was and how deep it got. How it got you confused one second then you understand everything the other, 100% recommend reading this!
