Book Review: Storm Warning | David Bell
I typically love David Bell’s books. He has interesting scenarios that a regular person finds themselves in, and they tend to get much worse before they get better. His latest book Storm Watch is by far the most action-thriller that I’ve read by him, so definitely a change of pace from what I expected!
What is Storm Warning about?
A man living on a Florida barrier island must protect his family from both an approaching hurricane and a relentless killer.
Jake Powell is racing to get off the island as a powerful hurricane approaches. When he finds his best friend Dallas, the building manager, dead from a blow to the skull, Jake realizes there’s more than the storm to fear. There’s a murderer on the island, maybe even still inside the nearly abandoned building.
Dallas had repeatedly run afoul of the wealthy owners of the building by complaining about code violations and the precarious state of the condos. But he’d also once told Jake that every resident had a secret they’d come to Florida to escape. Had one of them killed to conceal their sins? As a dozen people shelter together in hopes of surviving the deadly hurricane, a second murder makes it all too clear: one of them is a dangerous killer.
What did I think?
This was my least favorite book by David Bell, though I still found it entertaining. I am not the right reader for this type of plot-driven thriller, because they are never my favorites. I’m a character-driven book girl! I’ve seen lots of love for this book, and there were plenty of things I enjoyed so don’t write it off because of anything I said!
Our main character Jake is living on a small island off the coast of Florida. Leaving behind his wife and daughter, Jake needed time away to have any hope of saving his marriage. This was supposed to be a temporary visit—Jake would live in an old apartment building set to be torn down and then eventually head back north.
Just as Jake is ready to leave, a category 3 hurricane starts barreling down upon the tiny island. Timing couldn’t be worse when he discovers his wife and daughter came to surprise him, and now all three may be trapped in the middle of a hurricane. Yikes!
Jake’s good friend Dallas is the building manager, and Jake checks on him before he is set to leave. But when he finds Dallas murdered from a blow to the head, Jake realizes there must be a murderer on the island. There were a lot of shady characters around with reasons to want Dallas dead, but the question is which one? Everyone comes to this island with a secret—no one else would settle here. As another murder occurs, the people stranded in the building must fight for their lives from not only the hurricane, but from one of their own.
I thought this was slow to get into (though not slow in pacing), because I just didn’t connect with Jake at all. As the murders began, the story gets much more interesting and from there I was curious about who was behind it all. There were plenty of suspects! The book is quick and action-packed, so I think many readers will enjoy that aspect!
This book had by-far the most surface-level characters I’ve read from Bell. I think it is fine for authors to lean into plot over characters, but that was the part of the book that lowered how I felt about it. I needed to care more about the people trapped in that building, but I didn’t.
This is an exciting and tense thriller. It’s dialogue- and action-heavy. A quick read with an entertaining plot that will appeal to those who like an action-adjacent thriller.
Thank you to Berkley Publishing for my copy. Opinions are my own.

I fell victim to a Business Email Compromise (BEC) scam and a cryptocurrency exchange fraud. The assistance I received from DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT during tracing and recovering my lost money back is 100%. Individuals have suffered significant financial losses from fraudulent activities like lotteries, compensation schemes, binary tradings, inheritance scams, cryptocurrency investment scams, and forex trading manipulations. The challenges extend beyond the initial investment; many victims face difficulties withdrawing their funds, with brokers demanding additional deposits before allowing withdrawals. Furthermore, the theft or loss of access to cryptocurrency wallets represents a growing problem. The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies makes recovery particularly challenging, requiring specialized expertise to trace transactions and potentially recover stolen funds. Data breaches can lead to identity theft, financial losses, and reputational damage. DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT’s services extend beyond lost crypto asset recovery; they offer comprehensive data protection strategies. Their expertise in navigating the complexities of online fraud and data security makes them a valuable resource for anyone seeking to protect their digital assets and personal information. Their assistance in my case involved recovering my lost funds and providing guidance on securing my online accounts and preventing future scams. Their dedication and expertise are truly exceptional and they have my vote of confidence.

Over five years ago, I lost access to two of my crypto wallets, which I hadn’t used in years. These wallets contained valuable crypto assets, but I had completely forgotten the passwords, recovery phrases, and security questions. After trying everything I could think of to regain access, I was left feeling hopeless, thinking my assets were gone forever. That’s when I came across ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ), and I can honestly say they changed the course of my life. Initially, I was skeptical. The idea of recovering forgotten crypto wallets seemed almost impossible. However, from the first moment I contacted the team, I felt a sense of hope. The staff was incredibly professional, empathetic, and genuinely dedicated to helping me recover my wallets. They took the time to fully understand my situation, offering clear explanations and reassuring me that they could assist. The recovery process wasn’t immediate, but it was methodical and thorough. The team worked diligently, guiding me through every step of the process and explaining things in a way I could easily understand. At times, I felt frustrated, especially given how long it had been since I last used the wallets. But the ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) team remained patient, offering constant support, and helping me stay focused on the end goal. They made sure I felt secure throughout the entire process, which provided me with the confidence I needed to continue. Finally, after several weeks of hard work, I regained access to my wallets. It was an overwhelming and life-changing moment. Not only did I recover my crypto assets, but I also felt an immense sense of relief and accomplishment. What I thought was lost forever was now back in my hands. Thanks to the ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) team, I’m incredibly thankful for ( Trust Geeks Hack Expert ) expertise and dedication.

As a recent entrant into the crypto investment industry, I was lured into a fake crypto investment scam that resulted in the loss of 3.1 BTC, valued at $238,700 at the time. I had unwittingly invested in a fraudulent platform, believing it to be the legitimate FTX trading platform. The scammers manipulated me into sending multiple Bitcoin transactions to their wallet address. When their site was shut down, all communication attempts proved futile.
The experience left me devastated and ill for weeks. However, my assistant introduced me to Morphohack Cyber Service, a renowned expert in Bitcoin and crypto recovery. After researching their credentials online, I was convinced of their genuineness and trustworthiness. Morphohack’s team conducted a thorough investigation and recovery process, tracing and retrieving my stolen Bitcoin. Despite some losses to the blockchain network, I recovered 2.9 BTC, valued at $229,100 at the time.
Morphohack’s success was a surprise, as I had thought crypto recovery was impossible. Their services have left me grateful. If you’ve lost cryptocurrency, don’t panic. Reach out to Morphohack for assistance.

I wanted to inform you of some fantastic news today: with the help of SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY, I successfully retrieved my lost investment funds valued at $70,000 USD that was taken by scam syndicate called CBEX. It all began earlier last month when I was introduced to this fraudulent company known as CBEX by a close business associate who as well was not aware of this scheme being a scam. I fell for his deceptive promises and invested in the company. Thankfully, with the support of SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY, I was able to uncover the scam before it was too late. The Experts successfully secured the funds quickly and effectively, and I am genuinely thankful for their expertise and support.

You can get your Ex Back and cure your Infertility and Herpes with Chief Dr. Odunga.
When I met Chief Dr. Odunga, my husband had divorced me for over 2 years because I was infertile. I was devastated and confused as a woman of 41 years of age to be a barren woman. I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Chief Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back. I knew the spell had worked. I accepted his apologies and then told Chief Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me. He sent me the herbs for fertility and after 2 days of completing the treatment, I did it with my husband and immediately I conceived and became pregnant. 9 months later, I gave birth to twins.
Presently, I am a mother of two beautiful children, a boy and a girl and I am very happy in my marriage. I would recommend him to anyone because I trust he has the power and ability to help you too. I give all the praise to God for leading me to Chief Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Chief Dr. Odunga Via Whats-App number +2348167159012.

I’d like to recommend the Morphohack Cyber Security team if you ever intend to recover your Bitcoin, USDT, or other crypto assets.
I happen to be one of many people who lost their crypto assets after a distasteful experience with a fake crypto investment scam. They kept requesting more deposits in order to “grant” me access to my wallet. If not for the intervention of the Morphohack Cyber Security team, I would have lost everything completely.
Morphohack intervened on my behalf and began what seemed to be a full recovery process and a cyber attack on these con men.
I’m putting this out here to share my plight and encourage others to act quickly and contact Morphohack if you happen to be in a similar situation. Do not believe that by paying more, you’ll be granted access to your wallet by these investment scammers. Instead, contact the Morphohack Cyber team to help you recover your crypto assets immediately.
Their contact email is as follows: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES . COM
Warm regards,

My first error was believing that investing in cryptocurrency would increase my income. I got conned out of $120,000 in bitcoin by a well known investment scam. A few weeks later, I was looking through my email when I saw a notification about a recovery agent named Wizard James Recovery who could help me get my bitcoin back in a few hours. I was initially apprehensive but I eventually got in touch with them, and within 48 hours, he was able to get back all of my lost bitcoin. They are the greatest bitcoin/funds recovery team around, thus you should get in touch with them right away if you experience any such problems. Contact information.. Wizardjamesrecovery@ usa.com.
