Emily Sheffield's parents are the worst. Okay, maybe Emily has been erratic and her behavior a little reckless lately, but shipping her off to live with her grandparents in Alaska is so much worse than she deserves. For Aiden Cohen, life in Alaska is perfect: good grades, great friends, and work he loves. There's just one thing missing: his mom. But a disastrous first meeting with his birth mom leaves Aiden stunned and ready to go back to his ordinary life in Alaska. 

A confusion on the runaway prevents the plane from landing, but when the plane hits a bad patch of turbulence, throwing it off-course, the pilots lose control. The plane crashes, leaving Emily, Aiden, and two dozen other passengers stranded on a creepy island. But they aren't the only ones on the island, and it's now a race against time for someone to find them before the island's inhabitants do.

Warped Remains

It takes almost an hour for the rain to stop, and when it does, I'm soaked and frozen to my core. I can't stop shivering, and my teeth chatter so violently they ache. Standing near the now extinguished fire, I wrap my arms around myself in a feeble attempt to regain some warmth and look around. Everyone is as wet as I am, and they all look just as miserable, too.


Tom stops near me, a sympathetic expression tugging at his features. "Emily?"


His voice pulls me from the trance I've been in. Blinking, I focus my gaze on him. "Yeah?"


I shrug. "I don't know. He said he was going to help"


I laugh. It's a wholly inappropriate reaction, I know that, but I can't seem to stop myself. Am I okay? No. I'm not. I don't think I'll ever be okay again, at least not as long as I'm stuck on this horrible island.
