About this listen

The only thing worse than being lost . . . is being found.

Keely planned to keep her head down at her new school - she isn't there to make friends or memories, she just wants to be left alone.

In order to get into college, she is roped into a programme that involves camping in the Welsh wilderness with five over-keen try-hards. Her plan is to keep her head down, keep her mouth shut and get through the next few days.

But Keely is running from something. Something that drove her family out of their home and to this quiet town. And when her fellow explorers start disappearing and the bodies begin to pile up, she has to ask herself: did she run far enough?

The second spine-chilling standalone from the author of Someone is Watching You, Tess James-Mackey.

This is an excellent story which proceeds at a rapid pace and is atmospherically written. For example, in the early stages of the book, Mackey-James uses the weather to isolate the characters and at the same time creates suspense. The characters are complex while having clear motivations behind their actions and the topic of abuse in relationships is handled in a way which is both sensitive to the subject and insightful. Keely's feelings of guilt over losing her best friend were so vividly written. A challenging topic for a young adult story, but undoubtedly an important.

A well-crafted and suspensful story
