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 can't believe what I'm seeing. The building is intact. Not so much as a hint of smoke. No fire damage. I rush toward the kitchen window and peer outside. Only the research lab is reduced to a pile of fiery rubble - everything around it is untouched.


"What? What is it?" Aiden asks, shoving his way into the kitchen. "No way."


"What is going on around here?" Tom asks as he offers his hand to Marjorie and helps her out of the bunker. "It's like they're toying with us or something."


"All the more reason to get out of here as fast as we can," Marjorie says. "I grabbed more food from down there, but maybe we can snatch that laundry basket and take it back with us."


"No!" I say too quickly. "It's too dangerous. You'll be out in the open, exposed to those things."


"I'll cover him," Tom says, holding his gun up.
