Abbie is a cyber-security specialist who loves being the girl-in-the-(swivel)-chair. It feels safe and comfortable.
But she feels neither when she crawls out of a car wreck in the middle of nowhere, unable to recall the last five years of her life. She has a mysterious message on her phone and a timer counting down to Lord-knows-what.
Also, there's an unconscious man in the car, carrying an ID card which calls him Elias.
Just when things can't get any weirder, a man shows up with a gun, hell-bent on killing both of them. In a split second, Abbie abandons Elias to save her life.
But shivering in the middle of the road in a stolen car, Abbie must make a choice. She can either drive away, never knowing what the timer counts down to, or risk her life to save Elias, who could have all the answers.

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
