INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the author of the multimillion-copybestselling A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series comes a new blockbuster thriller about a road trip that turns deadly. Eight hours. Six friends. Five survive. Red Kenny is on a road trip for spring break with five friends: Her best friend - the older brother - his perfect girlfriend - a secret crush - a classmate - and a killer. When their RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere with no cell service, they soon realize this is no accident. They have been trapped by someone out there in the dark, someone who clearly wants one of them dead. With eight hours until dawn, the six friends must escape, or figure out which of them is the target. But is there a liar among them? Buried secrets will be forced to light and tensions inside the RV will reach deadly levels. Not all of them will survive the night. . . . With edge-of-your-seat tension and a gripping mystery, Holly Jackson has written another instant classic! From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-Red and her five friends are headed to spring break in a borrowed RV. The first night of their trip, they lose signal on their GPS and end up lost off a dirt and gravel road. When all four tires and the gas tank are shot out, they cower in the RVs interior while attempting to devise a plan of escape. Jackson offers a chilling and twisting thriller. Red, the white main character, is fully developed and nuanced, with secrets and trauma. Her friends are no less well-rounded, with depth and drama that keeps readers guessing at every twist and turn. The terror of being trapped by a sniper, while wading through hidden truths, pulsates off the page, making this a fast-paced story. The sections of the text are mapped out with timestamps, covering eight hours. The opening pages include a diagram of the RVs floor plan, providing a helpful visual when reading the description of the layout as events unfold. Despite being reminiscent of And Then There Were None and echoing horror tropes, the writing never feels stale and brings a fresh, innovative approach to the thriller genre.
