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

I have never seen anything like this before in my life. Two large buildings, equidistant from each other, sit below us like a mirage. I'm terrified maybe that's all this is. Each building is made of red brick with a green, Spanish-tiled roof. They look like something straight out of a magazine. In front of each is a garden with a multitude of flowers in a rainbow of colors - white, red, orange, purple, blue, and yellow.


The gardens appear to be too well-kept. Everything about this feels wrong, and Emily is wrong, too. This isn't God's handiwork. This is evil. I suppress a shudder.


"Do you think people live here?" Emily asks.


Tom turns to face us. "That" - he points behind him to the buildings - "is exactly what we've been hoping to find. And I know we're all excited and curious, but we have to tread carefully because we have no idea who lives down there."
