Fast paced and heart-rending. Wasn't sure I was going to like this but I loved it! What a wild ride. Felt the ending was great too.

This is the first t j Newman book I've read and I loved it. So fast paced and exhilarating. I'll definitely be looking into the back list of this author.

T. J Newman is one of those “must read/buy” authors for me. I’ve been hooked since the first book “Falling”.

Worst Case Scenario is probably my favorite of the three. I was hooked by the very last line of the Author’s Note “… And that’s exactly what they want you to believe.”

Newman has a way of bringing these plane crashes to life, making you feel like you’re experiencing it first hand. I remember wanting a third book, but couldn’t figure out where it would go. What other scenario could seem legitimate? I never thought of a plane crashing into a nuclear plant. And while I had to search visuals to get an idea of how things looked at a nuclear plant, I loved it.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an arc copy in exchange for a honest review.

I LOVE TJ Newman and every book has become a "must-read" from her. This book will have you at the edge of your seat for the entire book. The power of community and small-towns is so wholesome as well. I loved the characters in this book. I highly recommend reading this book!!

Unlike Newman’s other additions to the thriller franchise, Worst Cade Scenario ushers in a new level of jargon that required some getting used to. I enjoyed the pacing, just like every TJ Newman plane thriller. The action doesn’t relent.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Worst Case Scenario is a book about a plane crashing into a nuclear power plant in Waketa, Minnesota. Post crash we follow the characters in the town and plant through trying to prevent a nuclear meltdown. I really enjoyed this book. It was high stakes and very fast paced. I would highly recommend reading this book.

What would happen if a plane crashed into a nuclear power plant? This book explores that exact scenario. In what has become the author's signature style, this is a fast-paced, pulse pounding novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I have loved T.J. Newman's previous two titles, but this one fell short for me. I struggled to really keep the character groups separated in my mind, but that may have been a me thing. There us a lot of one line "jump scares" used at the end many chapters and it started to feel overused and I felt like it took me out of the story.

Overall, this book was just ok for me.

I really enjoyed this book. I know lots of it got somewhat scientific but that did not hinder my enjoyment. I lived close to a nuclear power plant growing up and the thought of this actually happening was very scary. I think just having these thoughts made my reading experience more intense. I will read any book this author writes.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to review this ARC.

Worst Case Scenario is an incredible book! Incredibly hard to read, with scenes so devastating I could barely breathe. But also incredibly hopeful. No one writes about the goodness of humanity like Newman does!

Like all of her books, this one is high tension and high anxiety all the way through. It took me a while to read because I’d have to set the book aside and read something light and fluffy for a couple days before picking it up again.

Newman’s books prompt a lot of introspection for me. She writes about horrific situations that happen in the blink of an eye, which always forces me to think about what I’d do in a similar crisis! Newman’s explorations of human emotions and actions are what makes her books so relatable and emotional for me.

I also love that her books are as much about community and family as the crisis unfolding. So many moments where I read with tears in my eyes because of the sacrifices the characters are willing to make to protect the ones they love. Newman deftly writes about the choices people have to make when all hell is breaking loose.

And it wouldn’t be a TJ Newman book if I wasn’t sobbing through the final chapters! Not everyone gets an HEA in a thriller/suspense novel, but some do. It’s an emotional gut punch either way, with the happy and sad all churned together.

If you like addictive edge-of-your seat books that also pack an emotional punch, this is 💯 the book for you! Every one of her books has been 5 stars for me and I can’t recommend them enough!

If you're already paying for a therapist to treat anxiety, this book isn't for you... ( sending you my bill @tj_author )

Thank you, @littlebrown and @hachetteaudio, for the #gifted copy of "Worst Case Scenario"

A book can hit me with ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and zombies... I won't even be shook, BUT you give me real-world horror like plane hijacking or crashes? Nightmares for days. I consider Tj Newman the thriller queen for her plot lines that could LITERALLY happen right now.

This might be her scariest book yet. A plane crashing into a nuclear plant, causing a national crisis... It's literal chaos you can't tear your eyes away from.

Outside of having my panties scared off my cheeks, I really loved the beauty of humanity that is put into Worst Case Scenario. Everyone putting aside their differences to save the world is quite something to read about. (Will replenish your hope in people, again)

🎧 Joe Morton is a top-tier audiobook narrator. The added sound effects when a character talks into a radio made the listening experience authentic. I just wish that this would have been more impactful if it had multiple narrators. I would have loved to have a woman's voice, Joss.

I love how action packed TJs books always are. Her insider knowledge really shines during the airplane scenes. I did like the departure from the whole book taking place inside an aircraft and moving into a new setting. I really connected with the characters and enjoyed the fast paced plot. A great action thriller, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this ARC! I was so excited to see that TJ Newman put out a new book, because I really liked Falling and I absolutely loved Drowning. Worst Case Scenario was definitely different from those two in several ways, but it was still an action packed high adrenaline novel.

Newman’s first two novels are primarily set inside the plane, while Worst Case Scenario focuses more on the aftermath of a plane crash. We follow multiple different characters and storylines after a plane crashes into a nuclear plant in Minnesota, as they all work together to try and save humanity. At times, it was difficult to keep track of all the characters and how they were connected. I also wish some of the storylines were focused on a bit more. Newman clearly did her research on the science behind nuclear power, but there were some times when it went a bit over my head. All of that aside though, the book still held my interest and I had a hard time putting it down!

I had a hard time getting into this novel. Overall, it was a decent story but I wasn’t able to feel connected to any of the passengers.

This was a terrifying idea and a wild ride to read! So many things happening at once! The idea that this could happen is super scary! This was my 1st book by TJ Newman but will not be my last!

Thank you to the author, publisher and @NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Well, if you want to be scared shitless again, pick up T.J. Newman’s latest thriller! She has a unique ability to scare my pants off, but also makes me want to keep reading. Now, this reads like an action movie and definitely cuts to a lot of different storylines so that docked it a star for me because it was hard to follow.

Do I think the movie might star Nicholas Cage? Sure. Is it probably a bad B movie? Sure. But the book was entertaining for me and by the end I better appreciated the absurdity of it. There is a lot that I think she took liberties with, but it was an entertaining read.

Pretty formulaic as this is T.J. Newman's third airplane crisis book, but still a fun time overall. The single sentence book synopsis involves a plane that crashes into a nuclear power plant and the aftermath that ensues on how to deal with the wreckage and make sure the situation does not get worse. It's nice seeing ordinary people come together to figure out a way to save the world, especially since it's involving a nuclear problem. Make no mistake that the books Newman writes are "finish in one day page turners" and this one is no different. I would read anything Newman writes, but hoping that in the future she switches up the formula.

This book is probably my favorite of hers. I loved it. The plot flowed so good I just had to keep turning the pages to see what was gonna happen next. I gave this one 4 stars and loved my time reading it. Will be reading her next one and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. How will she ever top what's she already done?

I love TJ Newman and her writing! This one just wasn’t my favorite due to its more technical nature. I will still pick up every book she publishes.

As a plane is flying across Minnesota the pilot has a heart attack while the copilot is in the bathroom. As the plane starts to fall, the panicked stewardess manages to reach the cockpit and try to call for help but it is too late. Everyone's worst fear takes place as the plane crashes near a nuclear power facility. The damage is wide and the town is completely cut off from communication from outside and from the plants alarm systems. There is a major incident at the power plant that has the potential to cause severe national damage if it is not fixed. The small Minnesota town tries their best with limited resources to rescue their own citizens and to repair the damage to the plant before it kills them all and a third of the country.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!! This is the best suspense novel that I have read in a long time! It was impossible to put down. It is all incredibly humbling too as this could potentially happen. T.J. Newman has become a must-read author after this novel. The details of the procedures and the issues that the people were facing was exceptional and kept me completely riveted. Highly recommend to everyone!!!

Ohhhhhh my God, this book was INCREDIBLE. To be fair I did read it after it released so my copy was the print edition. That being said, by page 5 my jaw was literally hanging open , and I don't think it closed until I finished the book. This was a gripping story that had my heart in my throat the entire way through. I did knock half a star off because I feel like for the amount of catastrophic horror/damage in this book, the ending was just too neat and unrealistic. So 4.5 stars, rounded down. I've loved ALL of Newman's thrillers; this one just cemented her place on my auto-read list!
