Description

After losing both her parents in tragic accidents, a young girl must survive in the wilderness with only her grit and determination to find her father’s killer keeping her going.

“It’s Hatchet meets The Revenant, infused with fierce, undaunted girl power.”—S.A. Bodeen, award-winning author of The Raft

“Expertly conceived . . . [an] engrossing and twisty survival story.”—Nancy Werlin, National Book Award honoree and New York Times bestselling author

After: Jess is alone. Her cabin has burned to the ground. She knows if she doesn’t act fast, the cold will kill her before she has time to worry about food. But she is still alive—for now.

Before: Jess hadn’t seen her survivalist, off-the-grid dad in over a decade. But after a car crash killed her mother and left her injured, she was forced to move to his cabin in the remote Canadian wilderness. Just as Jess was beginning to get to know him, a secret from his past paid them a visit, leaving her father dead and Jess stranded.

After: With only her father’s dog for company, Jess must forage and hunt for food, build shelter, and keep herself warm. Some days it feels like the wild is out to destroy her, but she’s stronger than she ever imagined.

Jess will survive. She has to. She knows who killed her father.

And she wants revenge.

    I made a sincere effort to get to the end but found it impossible. The book is to predictable and repetitive. The heroin, an injured teenager, never matures (at least till the point in the book I read). I gave it two stars because of the good survival tips. It’s worth reading just for those.
  • Couldn’t put it down! Read in 3 days. Great book! Thank you

    This was BY FAR the best book I have ever read. The suspense literally stops you from putting it down and the emotion it makes you feel is astounding. I recommend this book to everyone, especially if you’re into survival!
