Sera is a senior in high school, and she's already regretting signing up for this camping trip with the school. There's broken Emily, always putting herself down and hiding her tru personality. Jude, the preppy rich boy who shows everyone how easy it can be. And Lukas. Bad boy Lukas, with whom Sera exchanged a kiss on Sophie's deck a few months back. Lukas wasn't supposed to be on this trip, so why did he come? Two more teens and two teacher chaperones complete this group. And now, three days from the trailhead, the incessant rain is making everyone else miserable.
Nearing a river, the group is separated in two by a sudden rise in water. Sera, Emily, Lukas, Jude and Mr. Walker pitch their tents and retire for the night on one shore, hoping to reunited with Madison, Hannah and Ms. Brighton in the morning. When they wake up the next day, however, they find that they have been drugged, their phones have been destroyed, and each of them has been marked with a word on their forearm. Lukas is dangerous. Emily is damaged. Jude is deceptive. Sera is darling. Mr. Walker is drugged out of his mind and completely incapacitated. It is mid-afternoon. Across the raging river they find a dead body, their hiking mates' camp site destroyed, and the brightly colored nail attached to a severed finger of Ms. Brighton's hanging. They also find the roman numeral III hung up near their site.
Far away from civilization, with no way of contacting anyone, and with a killer on the loose, the four teens must decide how to escape, and, more importantly, whom to trust. The very killer could be in their midst...
Suspenseful but with an ending that will disappoint some, this thriller will keep fans of mysteries turning the page to find out who did it, and why.
