Holly Jackson did it again!

Ever since it was announced that the queen herself was releasing another book, I knew I had to read it.

This was a good tension book that kept me on my toes the entire time! I was hooked from the very first chapter. The title Five Survive tells you so much about how the story unfolds and it was exciting to see exactly what the title meant.

I did a mistake at the beginning and that was comparing this book to a good girls guide to murder. this is nothing like that and I was a bit disappointed at that. But I put agggtm away and tried enjoying the book, which I’m glad I did.

This book was absolutely amazing. The writing style and the suspense it on another level. There’s plenty of secrets and plot twists as well and they’re all shocking.

Thank you to Holly Jackson and Penguin Random House for this advanced reader copy. Never been happier about an arc in my life

Six teenagers go on spring break driving one RV. The tires get shot out on the RV and they realize they are stuck with one crazy sniper outside. the sniper tells them that all he wants is a secret that if one person shares the rest will go free.

The small confines of the RV have them turning on each other. Finally the shocking truth is revealed.

One person has been the puppet master pulling all the strings. Will they get away with it?

Loved all the drama and not sure what is going to happen next.

A mob thriller with a lot of gun violence is just not something that is enjoyable for me, so this was a real letdown after Jackson's first book series. I also thought the ending being in the form of police reports and letters when the rest of the book wasn't like that felt like a copout - when books do that, it seems like the author just didn't know how to effectively write the ending to the story.

Agatha Christie like book with an interesting cast of characters, and of course a delicious mystery. Perfect plot, you are absolutely going to love this book.

Great character development and tension. This book was really thrilling. I enjoyed the varied themes including guilt and shame and the reocurring symbols including the color red and the static.
