Genres: Thriller, Young Adult
Natalia is not the kind of girl who takes risks. Six years ago, she barely survived the house fire that killed her baby brother. Now she is cautious and always plays it safe. For months, her co-worker Wyatt has begged her to come hiking with him, and Natalia finally agrees.
But when a wildfire breaks out, blocking the trail back, a perfect sunny day quickly morphs into a nightmare. With no cell service, few supplies, and no clear way out of the burning forest, a group of strangers will have to become allies if they’re going to survive. Hiking in the dark, they must reach the only way out―a foot bridge over a deep canyon―before the fire catches them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!
What an excellent story! At first I was concerned at how short this was and if all the details would be present, but April Henry did a phenomenal job telling this story! I have never read anything like it, between the characters, the situation, and the main characters past demons, I couldn’t turn the pages faster!
I very much enjoyed reading even though a couple of the pieces the characters put together were a little far fetched…I really loved this book!
