TERRIFIED... It was supposed to be a harmless camping trip. Six wayward teenagers who'd run into trouble with the law, and their court-appointed guardians, Sara and Martin Randhurst. Three nights on a small, deserted island off of Michigan's upper peninsula. A time to bond, to learn, to heal. Then Martin told a campfire story about the island's history. Of the old civil war prison hidden in there, and the starving confederate soldiers who resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. Everyone thought it was funny. They even laughed when Martin pretended to be dragged off into the woods. But Martin didn't come back. And neither did Sara when she went in search of him. Then the laughter stopped. ...TO DEATH The group soon began to realize that this deserted island wasn't so deserted after all. And perhaps Martin's ridiculous story had more truth to it than anyone thought. What's the most horrifying thing you can imagine? This is a hundred times worse... TRAPPED by J.A.

"I remember being much more scared of this book when I first read it, but now as an adult, I found so much of it to be so unbelievable and the writing and dialogue to be so weak that the horror aspects didn’t hit as hard. I thought that the dialogue was cliche, cheesy, and stereotypical throughout the entire novel. I thought that the prose was very generic, and most of the paragraphs followed the same beats and patterns. You could very easily interchange some of the words in one section describing what’s happening with a character and have a different section that happens much further on in the book. It got incredibly boring to read after awhile, and I began to find all the twists and turns to be an inconvenience of sorts."
