Under the Surface by Diana Urban

 

“Ruby is terrified to cave to her feelings for Sean and risk him crushing her heart.


Sean is pumped to spend a week with Ruby in Paris on their senior class trip, and he’ll wait however long until she’s ready to take things further.


But when Ruby’s best friend sneaks out the first night to meet a mysterious French boy, Ruby goes after her with two classmates, but caves to another temptation: attending mystery boy’s exclusive party in the Paris catacombs, the intricate web of tunnels beneath the city, home to six million long-dead Parisians. Only they never reach the party.


Underground, as something sinister chases them, they get lost in the endless maze of bones, uncovering dark secrets about the catacombs… and each other. And if they can’t find a way out, they’ll die in the dark beneath the City of Light.


Aboveground, Sean races to find the girl he loves as a media frenzy over the four missing teens begins.” - taken from Goodreads.


On a school strip to Paris, Ruby is excited for two things. One is to get some incredible footage for her YouTube channel and the second is to possibly make a leap of faith on her feelings for her classmate Sean. When Ruby's friend Val sneaks out to meet a boy she just met, she and two other girls leave the hotel to bring Val back. But upon finding her with Julien on their way to a secret party in the catacombs below Paris, the girls decide to join. Soon an injury leads to the group becoming lost amid the maze of bones as they soon discover that they are not alone. Can Sean figure out what happened to the girls before something sinister happens?


Inspired by a news article about a couple of teenagers lost beneath the City of Paris in the catacombs, join the race to see if Ruby and her friends make it back to the surface.
