It's a disarmingly simple premise: take 6 friends, trap them in an RV in the middle of nowhere, with no cell reception at all, and a sniper outside ready to kill anyone who runs, and who is waiting to kill the one person who is holding a deadly secret.
Every one of the friends has a secret, and as the night progresses, they all unravel as time, tiredness and death creep up on them.
It's tense and claustrophobic. I found myself rooting for all of them, to start off with, until true natures began to be revealed, then I was very firmly not liking one specifically.
One of the characters says at one point, that they shouldn't go all Lord of the Flies, which is a really great description of how the friendships start to deteriorate and suspicions grow.
I took so many notes while reading this, about layering secrets, and hinting at deeper motives.
It was such an enjoyable read. If you like something to keep you guessing, and on the edge of your seat, this is a good bet!
