#netgalleyarc This was a quick read but a thrilling and intriguing one. At first the book was giving me “Final Destination” vibes but as the story went on it became less like FD and more like a mixture of Clue and The Lottery. I’ll definitely be purchasing this for my high school library.

This was creepy in all the best ways! If you have a fear of flying, definitely don’t pick up this book. It took a turn I wasn’t expecting and I loved it. I’d love a sequel that tells the tale of what happened on that train all those years ago too

A fast paced thrill ride that never really slowed down. I was impressed by how quickly I was sucked into the book and how the story progressed. Definitely won't be comfortable around knitting needles for a while.

I waited to read Amy Christine Parker’s new YA horror novel Flight 171 until Halloween and I am sure glad I did. This gripping supernatural thriller was the absolute perfect read to give me all the spooky vibes.

Flight 171 follows a group of teens as they board a plane to Colorado for a school-sanctioned trip. However, on board, things quickly go downhill when they realize that a supernatural presence is riding on the plane with them. As this superhuman spirit takes control of their flight and passengers begin to die, the students are presented with a conundrum: they must pick one of their classmates for the creature to possess and take over their life. When the presence begins showing them their absolute worst deeds on the plane’s TV screens, this flight quickly turns into a game of judge not lest ye be judged. Just who will make it off of the plane alive and with reputation intact?

Reminiscent of the popular Goosebumps, Christopher Pike, and Fear Street novels of the 80s & 90s, Flight 171 totally made me nostalgic for this era in which I grew up. I am excited that this fast-paced, chapter cliff-hanging, campy style of horror writing is being introduced to a new generation of young readers in Flight 171.

This novel is easy to read and get into and moves at a fast clip. As the plane propels through the sky, so does this story, which dives right into the action and doesn’t get bogged down with a lot of extra details and backstory. Perfect for reluctant teen readers or anyone who wants to get into a novel that doesn’t require much work, Flight 171 is one wild ride.
