Noah Braddock is a surfer and reluctant PI living in San Diego. Good story and characters.

[Lenny Daniels · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun fast read with plenty of action. The main character and his sidekick are worth cheering for.

I'm really torn about this book. It's very different from the first one, with much less Carter (fail) but much more growth for Noah and aaaaaaaaaangst (win) and even, when Carter does appear, more bromance (total win). I definitely had problems with parts of the book, but they were ovrerridden, eventually, by how solid of a series this is. I mean, I can't wait to see how badly this all turns out.

Good stuff. This is the second Jeff Shelby book I’ve read, and I enjoyed them both. They remind me a little bit of Don Winslow and his Boone Daniels books – similar characters set in similar locations with similar jobs, sidekicks and lifestyles, but still different enough to be interesting. I’m looking forward to reading the next one in his Noah Braddock series – Liquid Smoke.

I like Killer Swell and anticipated reading Wicked Break. It was a good read and I will continue to support this author's work.
