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

Emily hasn't spoken a word to me since I made that joke about her being a bad influence. I'd only been kidding, but clearly, she didn't take it that way.


"We're here," Tom calls over his shoulder. He stops and faces us. "All right, so remember, I'm going to take the lead. Don't answer any direct questions, and don't say a thing about Brenda. Okay?"


I nod. I'm glad Tom's taking the lead and handling everything because I don't want any part of it. All I want to do is get Emily alone, apologize, and then get off this island. If Brenda is telling us the truth, then rescue will be here Friday. That's only two more days. All we have to do is survive the inhabitants, and then we'll be headed home.


"Wait," Emily says. "I get why you don't want to cause a panic, but don't you think they have a right to know what's going on? How can they protect themselves if they don't know the real danger they're in?"
