Savannah Sullivan is picking up the pieces after her sister— Piper— fell into a coma. Nothing looks good for Piper; she’s been in a coma for a month with no signs of improvement. When Savannah finds a note in Piper’s locker inviting her to the peak the day of the accident, Savannah is convinced someone hurt her sister.

Savannah is determined to find out what happened to her sister and will do whatever it takes— even if that means joining Survival Club. While investigating what happened to her sister, she decides to join the club on a weekend camping trip. But she has to be careful— everyone on that mountain is a possible suspect and things begin to heat up as she gets threats from the killer.

The first 20% was slow, but thankfully the pacing was better the rest of the book. I was on my toes the whole time trying to piece together what happened to Piper. I definitely didn’t see the ending coming.

One thing I will say is that while I didn’t see the ending coming, it felt very anticlimactic. There was all this build up and then the twist just threw all that away. I was hoping for more, which is why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5.


I was given a copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
