Contestants on a new reality show get more than they bargained for when a hurricane passes through and the show's crew never returns to pick them up. With limited food and water, the cast tries to survive, all while people keep dying.
I liked the book mostly, but the whole ending was a bit of a let down.
3.5 stars.
I added half a star because I was so thirsty as their water was running out.
Teenage Ali disappears and years later her car is found submerged in a nearby lake, but Ali isn't in it. Instead, two unidentified men are found in the front seats. How did they get there, and where is Ali?
The novel is told from three POVs. I felt it was kind of a rip-off because the stories seem to be occurring at the same time. I found the last part of the story to be confusing and it felt like there was too much going on.
3 stars.
