We Won't All Survive

By: Kate Alice Marshall

Narrated by: Jess Nahikian

From the bestselling author of I Am Still Alive comes a new nail-biter that's part survival story, part murder mystery, and all thriller—perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson!

Two years ago, Mercy Gray was hailed as a hero for saving lives during a mall shooting. She still carries souvenirs from that day: the fragment of a bullet lodged in her back, a mountain of medical debt, and guilt for ignoring her sister’s warnings that the sweet boy next door was anything but.

So when billionaire turned TV host Damien Dare recruits Mercy to compete on his new survivalist reality show, she can’t turn down a chance at the whopping cash prize that could send her sister to college. But when she and the other contestants arrive at the off-grid location, something isn’t right. The set is empty. The gates close without warning, trapping them inside. And then one of them turns up dead. What appeared at first to be a tragic accident quickly transforms as more contestants start dropping like flies. With time and resources running low, surviving this show takes on a whole new meaning. Mercy must figure out who to trust. Before she’s next.

Critic reviews

Praise for We Won't All Survive

“The Hunger Games meets One of Us is Lying in this twisty thriller. If you like books with a dwindling band of survivors, you’ll love We Won’t All Survive. I stayed up way too late so I could read it in a single day. No one is quite who they seem to be—not even the main character."—April Henry, author of Two Truths and a Lie and When We Go Missing

“A complex look at trauma, survival, and the bonds that form under pressure, with the flair of twists you won't see coming.”—Mindy McGinnis, award-winning author of Heroine

“Marshall delivers an intense, pulse-pounding thriller that tactfully explores themes like trauma and toxic masculinity while never letting go of the throttle. Full of twists, turns, and catharsis.”—Booklist

“A fast-paced YA thriller… The tension steadily builds throughout with a surprising final twist that will shock readers. Fans of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus will love this.”—School Library Journal

Couldn't take a breath

Break neck pace! I couldn't take a breath! Kate has done it again! I did guess a twist (I feel like you're supposed to lol) and I couldn't put it down!

Twists in Spades

The characters were warm and wonderfully addictive. They felt like people I could be friends with in real life and that made everything they go through that much more powerful. The plot was fresh and even when you think you see things coming, there’s a whole new layer peeled back that changes your perception of it all. Honestly, it’s my new favorite book.

Kate Alice Marshall does it again!

This wasn’t my favorite narrator. She made the MC to boring, but overall I enjoyed this book quite a bit!

Unexpected

I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. Engaging characters, fast paced storyline, and a few very satisfying smackdowns, mingled with a surprisingly upbeat message. Yea, there was the whole farfetched premise to overcome, but overall a really fun book.

Wow

Holy cow, I loved this story. Great characters, great plot and great narrator, love this author too! Highly recommend
