Although the first chapter was intriguing, I didn't find the plotline compelling, there were parts that were a little too gruesome for me, the parts of the plotline that are about the survivalist community seemed unrealistic and based on stereotypes, and there wasn't fantastic continuity. I wouldn't recommend this book to other readers. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Three teens set out on a pilgrimage to a plane crash site where two of them lost siblings. There’s a cult community near the crash site and while I loved the beginning, I found the ending much too coincidental to be believable. Life crises are stressful and often messy, but what if half your class at school was killed in a fiery plane crash below three mountains near towns that the world has pretty much forgotten? What if your twin sister and the brother of a best friend were among them? How would you deal? That's the reality D has been grappling with for the past year. When she, Meg and Spider, whose brother was also among the victims, set out on a pilgrimage to the crash site in hopes of resolution, it starts half the story. The other half begins above a remote and very paranoid family compound when several young members have been sent up the mountain on an annual test of loyalty and survival. When something terrible happens to them, it's the beginning of a twirling and chaotic mix involving the two groups. Following the rest of the story, with some major shockers and lots of action, makes for one heck of a read. As I noted at the start of this review, life in situations like this can be messy and not everything or everyone finds resolution at the end, but that's one of the things that makes this such a great story. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I was curious about this book as it wasn't one I'd heard a lot about in the book community. It was pretty good, though not entirely what I expected based on the synopsis. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"D and Spider have always been close friends, and they are further united in their shared heartbreak: they both lost siblings in a horrific plane crash two years earlier. A chance sighting of a beloved cuddly toy in a photograph of the only survivor spurs D to finally seek closure. She and Spider and their friend, Min, set off on a road trip to the mountainside site of that terrible crash. Ariel has lived on the mountain all her life. She and her extended family are looked down upon by neighboring townsfolk and she has learned to live by her wits, trusting few people outside of her isolated, survivalist community. A terrifying attack sends her down the mountain for help; on her way, she comes upon the three girls -- a chance encounter that will have far-reaching consequences for them all."-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Closure
A plane crash in the Mountains called the Grey Sisters kills everyone but one person. That is how this tale begins. After that you know you are in for a fun ride. After the crash D and Spider who both lost siblings in the crash. What we see is a group of friends who go to the crash sight to get closer. The book is told in the perspective of the girls going to the plane crash site and Ariel’s chapters were my favorite I think they had more grit to them and it made it enjoyable. I have to say I am having a real hard time writing a review for this book without giving it away. There are some unique twists that make this a good read. I would be interested to see if this is a series or if this is the genre that this author stays in with the next book. ( )
