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

My heart pounds loudly in my chest, and I have to stop myself from putting my arm around her and pulling her closer. "Definitely," I say. I can see the shift in her demeanor - the slump of her shoulders, the way her eyes dull. She's getting bored. Or sad. And all I want to do is make her laugh again. "Tell me, Emily, what do you want to be when you grow up?" I do a horrible impression of a stuffy therapist.


She laughs loudly, which earns us dirty looks from the twins, but I don't care. Hearing Emily's laugh is a bright spot in this otherwise dark situation.


"I've always loved fashion and make-up, so I think I would've done something in that field, but honestly, I'm undecided. I really don't know what I want to do for the rest of my life. Is that weird?"
