The Only Survivors by Megan Miranda

一个关于一群以前的同学重新聚在一起纪念一次悲惨事故十周年的神秘事件–但其中一个幸存者却失踪了，这使人们对最初的悲剧产生了恐惧和怀疑。

过去的七个小时。现在的七天。剩下七个幸存者。你会救谁？

十年前，两辆满载高中生的货车在一次学校服务旅行中撞上了田纳西州的峡谷–这场悲剧夺走了多名同学和老师的生命。当晚设法逃出河中的9名学生被不可逆转地改变了。一年后，在其中一名幸存者在坠机周年纪念日自杀身亡后，他们中的其他人达成了一个协议：每年聚在一起，纪念那个可怕的夜晚。

保证彼此的安全。

互相追究责任。

或者两者都是。

他们每年的聚会地点是外滩的一所房子，长期以来一直是一个避难所。但到了十周年，卡西迪-本特已经努力使自己与悲剧以及其他幸存者保持距离。她更换了自己的手机号码。她屏蔽了其他人的电子邮件地址。今年，她决心最终一劳永逸地切断联系。但是，在团聚的那一天，她收到了一条短信，上面附有讣告：另一个幸存者去世了。现在他们已经是七个人了–卡西迪发现自己又回到了这个团体中，悲痛欲绝，疑虑重重。

几乎是在第一时间，就感觉今年有些不对劲。卡西迪是第一个注意到年度组织者阿玛雅的人，她不知所措地溜走了。除了即将到来的暴风雨，这并不会引起人们的警觉。突然间，他们又面临着道路封闭和海水涌动的威胁。然后，阿玛雅停止了对她的电话的回应。在他们所经历的一切之后，她不会故意让他们担心。她会吗？

而且，正如他们很久以前所承诺的那样，每个幸存者都会尽其所能地去拯救彼此。他们不会吗？

A mystery about a group of former classmates who reunite to mark the tenth anniversary of a tragic accident—only to have one of the survivors disappear, casting fear and suspicion on the original tragedy.

Seven hours in the past. Seven days in the present. Seven survivors remaining. Who would you save?

A decade ago, two vans filled with high school seniors on a school service trip crashed into a Tennessee ravine—a tragedy that claimed the lives of multiple classmates and teachers. The nine students who managed to escape the river that night were irrevocably changed. A year later, after one of the survivors dies by suicide on the anniversary of the crash, the rest of them make a pact: to come together each year to commemorate that terrible night.

To keep one another safe.

To hold one another accountable.

Or both.

Their annual meeting place, a house on the Outer Banks, has long been a refuge. But by the tenth anniversary, Cassidy Bent has worked to distance herself from the tragedy, and from the other survivors. She’s changed her mobile number. She’s blocked the others’ email addresses. This year, she is determined to finally break ties once and for all. But on the day of the reunion, she receives a text with an obituary attached: another survivor is gone. Now they are seven—and Cassidy finds herself hurling back toward the group, wild with grief—and suspicion.

Almost immediately, something feels off this year. Cassidy is the first to notice when Amaya, annual organizer, slips away, overwhelmed. This wouldn’t raise alarm except for the impending storm. Suddenly, they’re facing the threat of closed roads and surging waters…again. Then Amaya stops responding to her phone. After all they’ve been through, she wouldn’t willfully make them worry. Would she?

And—as they promised long ago—each survivor will do whatever he or she can do to save one another. Won’t they?
