About this ebook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of the multimillion-copy bestselling 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! 

And don't miss Holly Jackson's latest mystery thriller, The Reappearance of Rachel Price!

I loved this book. But it's definitely not Holly Jackson's best writing. I finished it in one day and liked it... sort of. I knew what was going to happen because it was obvious. With agggtm I tried to solve the mystery myself but with this there was no mystery. Still, it's an amazing book. I just didn't love it as much as Holly Jackson's other books.

Oh my god! I can't express how much I truly loved this book. The characters had just the right amount of depth and complexity and it was truly such an enjoyable experience. I read it in less than a day because once is started I simply couldn't stop. If you are a murder mystery plus thriller fan, this book is for you. I highly recommend it and happy reading:)

I adored this book, and devoured it in just a few days. I really enjoy how she writes characters ; they are so nuanced, complex and authentic. Her depiction of interpersonal relationships were also very well written. I also definitely got surprised by some of the things happening, which is a tricky thing to pull off ! Bonus ; one of the characters of the book seems to have ADHD; and it was so truthfully portrayed ! It felt impactful and raw to read as neurospicy woman myself.
