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

We've been walking for over three hours, and we haven't found a thing. Emily's stumbled and almost fell four times. I don't know if she's tired, scared, or so lost in her thoughts she's not paying attention. Either way, I don't allow myself to get farther than an arm's length from her, afraid if I do, she'll end up seriously hurting herself.


"Okay," Tom announces and stops. "Let's take a quick break."


I drop my backpack to the ground and use it as a seat.


Emily copies me. "My feet are killing me," she complains.


I glance down at her shoes. She's wearing a pair of those cheap canvas sneakers that don't have any support. "Don't you have actual sneakers?"


She nods. "But I've only worn them once. I was afraid they'd be worse than these." She sticks her foot out to show off her shoe.


I frown. "I think you should put the sneakers on."


"Maybe you're right." She busies herself with getting her sneakers out of her backpack and changing her shoes.
