Description

Trapped at a luxurious resort off the coast of Florida, a group of elite teens are about to have a spring break they will never forget . . . but not all of them are coming home. The star-studded team of authors behind New York Times bestsellers Blackout and Whiteout returns with a thriller full of intrigue, betrayal, and heart-stopping romance.

For Thurgood Marshall Academy's best and brightest--five friends who've been thick as thieves since kindergarten--this spring break is all about forgetting: they want nothing more than to wash away last year's tragedy, and the human-shaped hole it left in their friend group.

It's a hole the new kid, Anthony Brooks, seems to fit right into. So when he invites the Five to join him on a private island for a week at his dad's luxury resort, they agree with zero hesitation. No one's counting on a freak tropical storm swooping in and killing the vibe. And speaking of killing, they're also ill-prepared for the mounting collection of dead bodies... including (another) one of their own.

As their dream trip unravels, everything they tried to leave behind--secrets, lies, betrayals, dead best friends--seems to be washing up on the shore of their lives for everyone to see. Will any of them make it out alive?

From the bestselling, award-winning team behind Blackout and Whiteout--Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon--comes a thriller that begs the question: is it possible to outrun the worst thing you've ever done?


  • Murder-Mystery Meets Romance: Sparks fly and hearts collide over the course of one thrilling week. But can love survive when trust shatters and lives are on the line?
  • Forced Proximity: Trapped on a private island, this close-knit group of friends are about to stretch tensions to the snapping point. There is no escape from danger or desire!
  • Luxury With a Side of Lies: Be swept away by the glittering lifestyles of the one percent--and captivated by the intrigue and deadly secrets that lurk beneath their shimmering surfaces.
