Five Survive

The #1 New York Times Bestseller from Holly Jackson, the mastermind behind the wildly popular A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series, delivers a pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you up way past your bedtime.

Picture this: six friends, one RV, a desolate stretch of highway, and eight hours until sunrise. When Red Kenny and her spring break crew find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere with no cell service, they quickly realize their breakdown wasn’t an accident. Someone is out there in the dark, watching. Waiting. And they want one of them dead.

What follows is a masterclass in tension as secrets unravel and trust disintegrates. Who’s the target? Who’s the killer? And more terrifyingly—could the danger be coming from inside the RV?

Jackson has crafted another unputdownable mystery that readers have devoured in single sittings. Her signature style—sharp dialogue, relentless pacing, and shocking twists—transforms a simple road trip premise into a claustrophobic nightmare. Perfect for fans of survival thrillers and locked-room mysteries, Five Survive proves why Jackson has become one of the most exciting voices in young adult suspense.

Whether you’re curled up in our cozy shop on a foggy Ogunquit afternoon or reading by flashlight under the covers, this book will have your heart racing. Just maybe don’t read it before a road trip.
