The utterly addictive new YA thriller from the queen of twists, Kate Francis. For fans of The Traitors, Karen M. McManus and E. Lockhart.

In the middle of the night, Liv Walker is kidnapped from her bedroom by two masked figures. As she's dragged into an unmarked van, she's met with an even more horrifying sight: her family are waving goodbye.

Camp Smiling Skies is a wilderness therapy camp for 'troubled teens'. At least, that's what it says in the brochure. In truth, it's filled with dark secrets, cruel counsellors and no chance of escape.

Things seem as bad as they can get...until, one by one, people start to die.

Liv has already been betrayed by her family, but it seems like they're not the only traitors in her life.

There's a murderer in the camp, and everyone's a suspect.
