Eighteen year old Red and her friends are on a road trip in an RV, heading to the beach for Spring Break.

It’s a long drive but spirits are high. Until the RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere. And as the wheels are shot out, one by one, the friends realise that this is no accident.

There’s a sniper out there. He’s watching them and he knows exactly who they are. One of the group has a secret that the sniper is willing to kill for.

As a game of cat-and-mouse plays out, the group desperately tries to get help. Buried secrets are forced to light and tensions within the group reach deadly levels. Only one thing is for sure. Not everyone will survive the night . . .

Critic reviews

‘A blisteringly good standalone thriller.’
The Observer, YA Books of the Year, 4/12/2022

‘A thrill ride.’
The Guardian

“Holly Jackson, the OG of UK YA thriller writers, has written one of her most exciting novels yet. Five Survive, my Book of the Month, is about a group of teens who set off on a trip for spring break; when they find themselves under attack, they must work out who is trying to shoot them—and why. Set over the course of just a few hours, this taut thriller will keep readers hooked.”

Charlotte Eyre, The Bookseller

I loved this book, Red and Arthur’s connection was subtle and perfect and both being dragged about by the decisions of adults in their lives which then dragged them into decisions of their own

Amazing and gripping as always

I found it really easy to read chapters flowed beautifully and like how it was split up into hours which made it feel more realistic

After listening to the trilogy of A Good Girls Guide To Murder I had high hopes for Holly Jackson’s new book and boy did it deliver! This is a fast paced, witty novel with circumstances unlike any you have heard of before and you will just be itching to listen to the next chapter. It can definitely be a one sitting kind of listen as you just do not want to put this down. Twist after twist and thoroughly believable and 3 Dimensional characters will leave you captivated. I cannot recommend this book enough, if you want an edge of your seat thriller with mystery and the cutest of romances definitely buy this audiobook now!

A MUST LISTEN

After listening to AGGGTM by the same author, I couldn’t pass this up. I found the narrators voice a little jarring to begin with, quite harsh tones, but it eventually grew on me and I felt like she portrayed the characters quite well. I did get a little bored at the beginning but then I was hooked and a binged the end because I just needed to know!! A great twist and very entertaining.

A good listen!

Think the pacing of the second part of the book was much better than the beginning. This took a very long time to clear its throat, metaphorically speaking.

Solid performance by Holly Jackson, but not up to the level of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
