Five Survive

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Holly Jackson's latest murder mystery slash thriller slash holy-fucking-shit "Five Survive" was...a lot. I'm still a little traumatized to be honest (in a good way--probably (definitely won't be getting in an RV any time soon though)).

["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."]

Like, by nature, murder mysteries and thrillers are supposed to have plot twists upon plots twists, but holy fucking shit, man. Just when you figure a few things out, or think you do (well, I did figure out one or two--okay, just one--secret), then another fucking plot twist hits you right in the face.

Most definitely NOT a book to start late at night when the power goes out. Follow my advice and maybe you won't have an hours long anxiety attack. ;)
