Eight Hours
Six Friends
One Sniper

Stuck in an RV ••• Will they all Survive?!

This book takes you on a rollercoaster that you CANNOT get off! To me, the book starts off slow (like the start of a rollercoaster going uphill) and then, with every twist and turn and new surprise, it was a straight nose-dive to the end. Like the book stated, EXACTLY Five Survive. 

📚 Summary 

This book is set over a course of 8 hours (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.) with six friends traveling from Philadelphia to Gulf Shores for Spring Break. In between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., the RV comes to a halt when they had a flat tire. The friends changed the tire, got back in the RV, then CRACK! After crack after crack, all four tire were blown out. And CRACK! A sniper shooting out the gas tank and now, they are stuck. 

They all hear a faint “Hello” and find a walkie talkie. “What if I said you were the right people, in the right place at exactly the right time…” This was not a random attack - it was planned. Someone in the RV knows something that the sniper wants - a secret. “You know who you are and you know what it is.” But what good is a secret if it’s told? 

With tensions rising, the stakes are high … the sniper is getting impatient and so is everyone in the RV. They all will have choices to make: reveal their secrets in hopes that it’s THE secret or start to turn on each other. How bad could it get inside the RV?
