Praise for Coasted from Goodreads reviewer:
"WOW!!! I thought the first book in this series "Stalked" was an absolutely incredible book, and I was thinking after that conclusion, how can a sequel come from that and beat it, but JC Ward certainly succeeded in doing just that with "Coasted" She obviously had a plot planned out, and gosh, what a plot.
Rachelle and Elliott flee the turbulent and traumatic life in their hometown in Ohio to follow Stephanie, Garry and Macie to start a new life in coastal Maine, a beautiful spot on the beach.
Everything seems perfect, too perfect, and soon something seems to be off, tensions and suspicions grow and cracks appear in the relationships. Is there a future for Rachelle and Elliott what with the good-looking Owen on the scene?
I was drawn in and soon gripped by this addictive, nail-biting suspenseful and fast-paced thriller, full of unexpected twists and turns, Coasted is incredibly intense.
I was kept guessing throughout and had no clue how this was going to pan out, who was bad, who was good and who was to come out on top.
This is a must-read book that will keep you teetering on the edge. I very highly recommend it, after reading Stalked first of course."
Review :
Stalked (Book 1) was already off the charts, one of those debuts that sets the bar high. I honestly wasn't sure how JC Ward could top a book that strong... but she did, and then some. And this isn't taking anything away from book one. Following up a debut that strong is no small task, yet she elevated everything: the atmosphere, the emotion, the tension, the suspense.
"Set against the quiet backdrop of coastal Maine, Coasted follows Rachelle, Elliot, and the rest of the crew as they work toward healing and finding their footing again in another state.
The tension in this book is steady, gripping, and impossible to ignore, the kind that keeps you turning pages long after you meant to stop. The suspense is constant. Hidden agendas, unspoken truths, adversaries hiding in plain sight - it all builds into this beautifully crafted storm of emotion and danger. I was hooked, anxious, hopeful, and fully invested in their journey.
JC Ward didn't just deliver a worthy follow-up. She delivered a knockout. A sequel that stands tall on its own while honoring everything that made book one unforgettable.
In the end, JC Ward is an author to watch! This is a phenomenal sequel. I devoured it. I'm obsessed.
I absolutely loved it!"

"I couldn't put Coasted by J.C. Ward down. From the very first page, the tension hits hard and doesn't let up. Twists you think you saw coming get flipped, and every character's choices keep you questioning who to trust. It's suspenseful, emotional, and utterly addictive.
The story digs deep without slowing the pace - emotional stakes meet edge-of-your-seat thriller vibes. Ward knows exactly how to keep you guessing while making you care about the people caught in the chaos. If you love thrillers that make your heart race and your mind spin, Coasted is the read you can't skip! ��������"
