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 eyes snap open, and I bolt upright out of the bed. I blink, trying to adjust to the dark, and that's when I see Aiden rush into the room.


"Emily! Get up. C'mon, we've got to go!" He's waving his arms frantically.


I fling the covers off and shove my feet into my shoes. "What's going on?"


"The research lab is on fire." He grabs my bag and slings it over his shoulder. He's already got his pack on, too.


"What?" I sniff the air. "I don't smell any smoke."


"This building isn't on fire. Not yet anyway. But it's spreading fast. Now come on. We need to get out of here and into the jungle before someone sees us."
