Five Survive by Holly Jackson

 


“Eight hours.

Six friends.

One sniper . . .


Eighteen year old Red and her friends are on a road trip in an RV, heading to the beach for Spring Break. It’s a long drive but spirits are high. Until the RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere. There’s no mobile phone reception and nobody around to help. And as the wheels are shot out, one by one, the friends realize that this is no accident. There’s a sniper out there in the dark watching them and he knows exactly who they are. One of the group has a secret that the sniper is willing to kill for.


A game of cat-and-mouse plays out as the group desperately tries to get help and to work out which member of the group is the target. Buried secrets are forced to light in the cramped, claustrophobic setting of the RV, and tensions within the group will reach deadly levels. Not everyone will survive the night.” - taken from Goodreads.


What if you think you are in the wrong place at the wrong time but find out that someone has executed the perfect plan and now you’re trapped? When Red and her friends become lost on a deserted road, they initially think they are just having some bad luck. But when the tires are shot out on the RV and their tormentor knows all six of their names, the sinking realization that they are in danger hits hard. Someone is keeping a secret that their captor is willing to kill for. Who is keeping the secret and who will die? The suspense is carried through right until the last sentence.
