Wish You Were Here by Elle_Wrote_It

[COMPLETED] #1 Teen Mystery GET READY FOR A KILLER SUMMER! For sixteen year old Ryleigh Bennett, summer has always meant going away to a different sleep away camp and experiencing new things. She's excited to go to New Mexico where she expects to go hiking, swimming, and maybe even sleep outside under the stars. But as soon as she arrives on a small isolated island, it's obvious this is no ordinary camp. Suddenly, she is held captive with a group of other teenagers and they need to work together to escape. Ryleigh must push herself to new limits in the fight of her life in order to survive. REVIEWS: "From the first to the last page, the author creates an incredibly tense atmosphere that leaves the reader in constant anticipation about what's going to happen next. The desperate scramble for survival on unfamiliar terrain is often reminiscent of The Hunger Games. Each character brings something different to the table, from the caring Cal to headstrong Will, but is everyone who they say they are? Once you start reading this story, you won't want to stop." - DesignWizard "This book is one of my favorites! I love it! Your other books are amazing too!" - seejanereading "So much suspense! I thought this would be another typical teen fiction book but it's not. It's sooo good!" - JensanAplus "I'm OBSESSED! Love love love this book!" - Carriesgotone2
