From the author of The Cheerleaders, comes a thriller about best friends on a weekend getaway that goes horribly, dangerously wrong.

THREE BEST FRIENDS, A LAKE HOUSE, A SECRET TRIP -- WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

It was supposed to be the perfect prom weekend getaway. But it's clear something terrible happened when Claire wakes up alone and bloodied on a hiking trail with no memory of the past forty-eight hours.

Now everyone wants answers--most of all, Claire. She remembers Friday night, but after that . . . nothing. And now Kat and Jesse--her best friends--are missing.

What happened on the mountain? And where are Kat and Jesse? Claire knows the answers are buried somewhere in her memory. But as she's learning, everyone has secrets--even her best friends. And she's pretty sure she's not going to like what she remembers.

Amazing Listen

Very well written and well narrated. The story line kept up throughout the entire book and the ending was crazy! Definitely recommend if you're considering.

3.5 rounded up to 4 stars

Ok, Kara Thomas is probably in my top 3 favorite authors. Psychological thrillers are my favorite and as far as YA psych thrillers go she's the best of the best. All of her other books are 5 stars for me. But this one...the pacing was off, the relationships felt very forced, and the final reveal was shocking but not in a good way. And I usually love an interesting, shocking, even dark plot twist right at the end. The performances were great and the second half of the book did keep me engaged, but if you haven't read her other books don't let this be your first impression of this author!

Great book!

It’s been awhile since I’ve finished a book so quickly. Over the past year I’ve been wanting to find a book that I couldn’t put down. This was the one finally! I really enjoyed the characters and it kept me wondering.
