Cozy, Competitive, and Hard to Put Down

I thoroughly enjoyed Crush in the Cascades. It was such a cozy, light read with a fun balance of humor, tension, and rivalry throughout the games. As a big fan of Survivor, I especially appreciated the variety and creativity of the challenges.

I also loved how the story unfolded gradually, with additional key pieces of information revealed along the way. It really reinforced the idea that things aren’t always what they seem and that first impressions can be misleading. The character development and shifting perspectives kept things engaging throughout.

My only negative feedback — and this is coming from a long-time paddler — was the mix-up between rowing and paddling. They’re not the same thing, so those references pulled me out of the story at times.

Overall, though, this was a very enjoyable read, and I’m definitely looking forward to the next book.
