"[Unger's] great at keeping you interested and not seeing all the twists that are coming with a fabulous cat-mouse game." --Sarah Michelle Gellar, Emmy-award winning actress

An extreme game of hide-and-seek turns deadly in this riveting new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger, the "queen of thrillers you can also discuss with your book club" (BookPage).

Charismatic daredevil and extreme adventurer Maverick Dillan invites you to the ultimate game of hide-and-seek. But as the players gather on Falcao Island, the event quickly spirals into a chilling test of survival. A storm rages as a deadly threat stalks the contestants, turning the challenge into something far more sinister than the social media stunt it was intended to be.

Enter Adele, a single mother with a fierce determination to protect her children at all costs. When she begins the game, she unwittingly enters a twisted web of deception and intrigue. Can she maneuver through the treacherous storm and the relentless competition and get home to her family? In a ruthless battle for survival where the stakes are higher than ever, the blurry line between the virtual and the real proves that the only person we can trust is ourselves.

Not her best

Felt like the writing was a bit rushed. Some of the storyline dialog was canned, cliched, like I'd read it before.

Not her best

I agree with other reviewers who have said they looked forward to reading this and were let down. I found the story dull and not very believable or engaging. The characters were also uninspired. I like this writer and will continue to read her but this fell flat.

It's okay

so I had high hopes as I anticipated what this book would be like. and I don't want to discredit anyone I know that writing a book is very difficult and I applaud anyone who could. but this book for me was not as thrilling as I thought it was going to be. I kind of felt like it was all over the place. don't want to put any spoilers out but obviously read it for yourself form your own opinion. I do recommend you read it it wasn't the worst thing I've ever read. I just felt like by what the book was about it could have been way more thrilling. and I didn't like the way we jumped around all the time. but like I said form your own opinion I don't think it's a book you shouldn't read definitely go and read it.

Great story

What I disliked is there were times when chapters went back and fourth in time. It was hard to keep up in audio format

Good read

Enjoyed this book! It was easy to follow up with the narrator, jumping from all the characters.

Boring

I just thought it was boring overall with some excitement at the end. Disappointing and usually like this author

Loved it!

This one kept me on my toes. I loved the twists and turns. Great read.

Expected more

Disappointed honestly thought it would be way better, the premise sounded so good but too many characters to keep up with

Uneventful

very disappointing, the story seemed more focused on talking about an online game and social media posts. pages and pages about both..... absolutely ZERO suspense, and the so called plot twists were beyond predictable.

so disappointed

this story was so lame. I'm an die hard lisa unger fan and was so disappointed in this book. don't waste your time
