Maddie thought she and Logan would be friends forever. But when your dad is a Secret Service agent and your best friend is the president's son, sometimes life has other plans. Before she knows it, Maddie's dad is dragging her to a cabin in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness.
No phone.
No Internet.
And not a single word from Logan.
Maddie tells herself it's okay. After all, she's the most popular girl for twenty miles in any direction. (She’s also the only girl for twenty miles in any direction.) She has wood to cut and weapons to bedazzle. Her life is full.
Until Logan shows up six years later . . .
And Maddie wants to kill him.
But before that can happen, an assailant appears out of nowhere, knocking Maddie off a cliff and dragging Logan to some unknown fate. Maddie knows she could turn back- and get help. But the weather is turning and the terrain will only get more treacherous, the animals more deadly.
Maddie still really wants to kill Logan.
But she has to save him first.

My Rating: 7/10
I received this book for review from Scholastic Australia.
I have previously read two books by Ally Carter, neither of which really impressed me but I did end up enjoying this one much more than I thought I would.
The only issue I had overall with this book is that the blurb does not accurately describe the book.
I loved the fact that the book starts with Maddie and Logan as children where they are best friends as it made it impossible to not want them to end up together.
I found this book really fast paced with a lot of plot twists throughout that helped speed up the reading process.
The book was also a lot lighter and cheesy for a thriller novel but that again helped me read it as fast as I did so that was an unexpected positive.
I loved that this book was set primarily in Alaska as I am pretty sure I have never read a book set there before and the scale of isolation endured there by the characters added to the overall thriller element in the story.
Maddie was an extremely smart and resourceful character who took no nonsense from anybody whilst Lucas grew up and matured over the course of the book.
