#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of the multimillion-copy bestselling A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series comes a new blockbuster thriller about a road trip that turns deadly. Eight hours. Six friends. Five survive.
Red Kenny is on a road trip for spring break with five friends: Her best friend - the older brother - his perfect girlfriend - a secret crush - a classmate - and a killer.
When their RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere with no cell service, they soon realize this is no accident. They have been trapped by someone out there in the dark, someone who clearly wants one of them dead.
With eight hours until dawn, the six friends must escape, or figure out which of them is the target. But is there a liar among them? Buried secrets will be forced to light and tensions inside the RV will reach deadly levels. Not all of them will survive the night. . . .
With edge-of-your-seat tension and a gripping mystery, Holly Jackson has written another instant classic!

ONEHere and not. Red and black. One moment there, another gone. Her face in the glass. Disappearing in the light of oncoming headlights, reappearing in the dark of outside. Gone again. The window kept her face for its own. Good, it could keep it. Back, the window didn t want it either.
Red s reflection stared through her, but the glass and the darkness didn t get her quite right, blurring the details. The main features were there: the too-pale glow of her skin and the wide-set dark blue eyes that weren t hers alone. You look so much alike, she used to hear, more than she cared to. Now she didn t care to hear it at all, even think it. So, she looked away from her face, their face, ignoring them both. But it was harder to ignore something when you were trying.
Red shifted her gaze, looking instead at the cars in the lane beside and below. Something wasn t right; the cars seemed too small from up here at her window, but Red didn t feel any bigger. She watched a blue sedan edging forward to pass, and she helped it along with her eyes, pushing them ahead. There you go, bud. Ahead of this thirty-one-foot-long metal can, speeding down the highway. Which was strange when you thought about it; that you traveled down a highway when high was right there in the name.
Red? The voice opposite interrupted her thoughts of lowways and highways. Maddy was looking at her through the dimmed inside lights, skin screwed up around her sandy-brown eyes. She gave a small kick under the table, jabbing Red in the shin. Did you just forget we were in the middle of playing a game?
No, Red said, but yes, yes she had. What had they been playing again?
Twenty Questions, Maddy said, reading Red s mind. Well, they had known each other all their lives; Red had only gotten a seven-month head start and she hadn t done a lot with it. Maybe Maddy had learned to read her mind in all that time, more than seventeen years. Red really hoped not. There were

things in there no one else could ever see. No one. Not even Maddy. Especially not Maddy.
Yeah, I know, Red said, her eyes wandering to the other side of the RV, to the outside door and the sofa bed currently sofa where she and Maddy would sleep tonight. Red couldn t remember; which side of the bed did Maddy like again? Because she couldn t sleep if she wasn t on the left side, and just as she was trying to read Maddy s mind back about that, her eyes caught on a green sign outside in the night, flying over the windshield.
That sign says Rockingham, aren t we getting off this road soon? Red said, not loud enough for anyone at the very front of the RV to hear, where it would have been more use. She was probably wrong, anyway, best to say nothing. They d been driving on this same road for the past hour, I-73 becoming I-74 and then US 220 without much fanfare.
Red Kenny, focus. Maddy snapped her fingers, a hint of a smile on her face. It never creased, though, Maddy s face, not even with the widest of smiles. Skin like cream, soft and clearer than it had any business being. It made the freckles on Red s face stand out even more, side by side in photos. Literally side by side; they were almost the exact same height, down to the highest-standing hair, though Red s was dark blond where Maddy s was more light brown, a shade or two separating them. Red always had hers tied back, loose bangs at the front that she d cut herself with the kitchen scissors. Maddy s was untied and neat, the ends soft in a way Red s never were. I m the one asking questions, you re the one with the person, place or thing,&rdquo
