Angie

Trapped at a luxurious resort off the coast of Florida, a group of elite teens are about to have a spring break they will never forget … but not all of them are coming home. The star-studded team of authors behind New York Times bestsellers Blackout and Whiteout returns with a thrillerfull of intrigue, betrayal, and heart-stopping romance. For Thurgood Marshall Academy's best and brightest–five friends who've been thick as thieves since kindergarten–this spring break is all about forgetting: they want nothing more than to wash away last year's tragedy, and the human-shaped hole it left in their friend group. It's a hole the new kid, Anthony Brooks, seems to fit right into. So when he invites the Five to join him on a private island for a week at his dad's luxury resort, they agree with zero hesitation. No one's counting on a freak tropical storm swooping in and killing the vibe. And speaking of killing, they're also ill-prepared for the mounting collection of dead bodies… including (another) one of their own. As their dream trip unravels, everything they tried to leave behind–secrets, lies, betrayals, dead best friends–seems to be washing up on the shore of their lives for everyone to see. Will any of them make it out alive? From the bestselling, award-winning team behind Blackout and Whiteout—Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon—comes a thriller that begs the question: is it possible to outrun the worst thing you've ever done?

NEHÉZ RENDKÍVÜLINEK LENNI A SZOKVÁNYOS VILÁGBAN. Persze, az nem olyan rossz például, ha valaki pokolkutyát kap a tizenkettedik szülinapjára. De az már nem annyira jó, ha az embert azért nem tanítják meg a varázserejét használni, mert félnek, hogy azzal fog bosszút állni a bunkó szomszédokon. Nic Blake csak arra vágyik, hogy olyan jó Manifesztor lehessen, mint az apja. De mielőtt meggyőzhetné őt arról, hogy végre tanítsa ki, súlyos titkok lepleződnek le, és szörnyűségek történnek. Így Nic és két barátja kénytelen útra kelni. Meg kell találniuk a varázslatos csodafegyvert, amiről a lány korábban még csak nem is hallott, és meg kell menteniük az apját a börtöntől, mert Nic nem tudja elhinni, hogy elkövette azt a bűnt, amivel vádolják…
