Max Cross is suffering under the shadow of a life-altering diagnosis he doesn’t dare reveal.
The last thing either of them wants is to spend a weekend away at a therapy camp alongside five other teens with “issues.” But that’s exactly where they are when three masked men burst in to take the group hostage.
The building has no windows. The exits are sealed shut. Their phones are gone. And their captors are on a killing spree.
Riley and Max know that if they can’t get out, they’ll be next—but they’re about to discover that even escape doesn’t equal freedom.
I had a mixed reaction to this book. The main characters were well developed and interesting. Max, in particular, is a complex character and the reader comes to understand his struggles of learning to live with schizophrenia. The plot is compelling and the story is a gripping thriller with plenty of plot twists. However parts of the story seemed rather implausible, such as the setting of the therapy weekend, and I found the story had too much violence for my taste.
