レビュー要約
-
ユタの峡谷を舞台にした切迫感と、自然の脅威を具体的に描く筆致が評価されている。サバイバーを支える側の戸惑いも含め、二人がトラウマと関係の複雑さに向き合う会話が物語の核として受け止められている。

From the New York Times bestselling author of Five Total Strangers and Seven Dirty Secrets , a tense new thriller! Four days alone in the desert. Except they're not as alone as they think. A year ago, Katie and her cousin Aster survived a night that left their world and easy friendship fractured. Desperate to heal and leave the past behind them, they tackle four days of hiking in the Utah backcountry. But the desert they've loved for years has tricks up its sleeve. An illness, an injury, and a freak storm leave them short on confidence and supplies. When they come across a young couple with extra supplies on the trail, they're grateful and relieved—at first. Riley exudes friendliness, but everything about her boyfriend Finn spells trouble. That night, after some chilling admissions about Finn from Riley, Katie and Aster wake to hear the couple fighting. Helpless and trapped in the darkness, they witness Riley's desperate race into the night, with Finn chasing after. In the morning, they find the couple's camp, but Riley and Finn? Vanished. Katie is sure Riley is in trouble. And with help a two-day hike away, they know they are the only ones who can save her before something terrible happens. The clock is ticking and their supplies are dwindling, but Katie and Aster know they have to find Riley before Finn—or the desert—gets to her first.

Exciting read!
I really liked this book and read it in only a couple of days! The only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 was because some of the banter/conversation between Katie and Aster (the two main characters) seemed a bit off. I think the author was trying to convey the fact that the girls were teenagers by their language, but instead it just felt somewhat forced. However, I'm eighteen and might not have noticed if I were older and not currently a teenager. Great read!
