In Come Out, Come Out, Whatever You Are by Kathryn Foxfield, five teens go on a reality show. They need to survive a night in haunted caves, but should they be afraid of each other? This book was okay. The storyline was pretty good, but not great. I never connected with the characters and wasn't impressed with the ending. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"Five Survive" by Holly Jackson is so Good It's a Must Read!
Five Survive by Holly Jackson is a teen thriller than kept my interest. Six friends head to spring break in an RV and end up in a deserted area with a shooter shooting out their tires and gas tank! He says one of them has a secret and he'll only let them go if they tell him what he wants to know. What does he want to know? He doesn't say! He just says they know who they are. They can't call for help because there is no cell service. How will they get out?
This has lots of suspense in it as the friends try to figure out ways to escape and send for help. This is a really good book because all through it, I was trying to figure out who was the one going to die (based on the title), how they would get out of this predicament and what the secret was and who had it. I agree with my husband about this one--it's a page-turner and a must read if you enjoy mysteries and thrillers. Even the ending is a shocker! (Karen's review, 5 stars)
In Five Survive by Holly Jackson, six friends pile into an RV for a fun weekend at a camp. They get lost in the dark and go into the woods where their RV breaks down! Just when they are about to go, someone makes sure that they are not going anywhere until they give him what he wants.
This was SO GOOD from the writing, to lots of action, the storyline, the believable characters, and a great ending! This went really fast because I couldn't stop turning the pages! Do not miss this one! (5++ stars)

"Curfew" by Jayne Cowie
In Curfew, by Jayne Cowie, men and young boys have a curfew. They cannot be outside after 7:00 p.m. to protect the women. But does everyone agree that this is the best way? And, as they say, "rules are meant to be broken." I thought this book was very good! It has a great storyline and the author did a great job of developing the characters! I loved it!

"Stay Awake" by Megan Goldin
In Stay Awake by Megan Goldin, Liv wakes up in the back of a cab with no memory of where she is or how she got there. Every time Liv falls asleep and wakes up, her head is a blank. Someone wants to make sure she does not remember committing a crime. This is a very good thriller. The last 20 or so pages are just fantastic! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"The Prisoner" by B. A. Paris
In The Prisoner by B. A. Paris, Amelie, wife of billionaire Jed, is kidnapped and held in a dark room. She does not know why or by whom. What she does know is that she feels safer than being with her husband. You will have to read the book to find out why.
B. A. Paris's books always have good storylines and good characters; this is no exception. This book goes back and forth in time, but I didn't mind that. The ending is unbelievable! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
