Two girls fight for their lives following a terrifying drive through the Oregon mountains.
Brooke Goodwin has been on her very best behavior since “the incident” at her family’s lake house. Her father is under consideration for appointment to a judgeship, and she can’t do anything that will bring further shame to her family. But the day she finds out that she achieved her dream of getting into Yale, there’s a party at the beach and her crush, Dylan, is going to be there. How can she say no when her best friend, Jena, insists that they go? Brooke has been keeping a big secret from Jena and their other friends, however—she’s been the target of a campaign of anonymous harassment from someone who believes there was more to “the incident” than the official story. And when an old Bronco starts tailgating them on the remote drive home from the party, eventually causing an accident that sends the girls running into the woods, more than one secret is revealed. As the events of the pursuit play out, readers will feel ill at ease, then frightened, and then terrified right along with the characters. Teen thriller fans will be riveted. Brooke presents white, Jena is Black, and Dylan is described as being “like a genetic blend of Henrys, both Golding and Cavill.”
A pulse-pounding thriller.
