The Only Survivors
A New York Times Bestseller
A LibraryReads Hall of Fame Pick
From the New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls and “master of suspense, Megan Miranda” (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl), a thrilling 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, the 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?
A propulsive and chilling locked-box mystery filled with the dazzling hairpin twists that are the author’s signature, The Only Survivors is New York Times bestselling author Megan Miranda’s best novel yet.

I got bogged down a little at about 1/4 way through. There were almost too many characters. I did like the main plot twist, never saw that coming.

I don’t get the hype. The pact and the reason they met up every year is weird and a bit psychotic if you ask me and it was incredibly slowwww. I can’t do slow burn mysteries and had I known I wouldn’t have bought or read it.

I absolutely loved all the missing girls and the last house guest. While I’ve yet to read a book by MM that I don’t like, the others have always lulled a lot in the middle then pick up. My favorites, including this one, have always kept up the pace. This is my favorite one yet! Every character was so well developed and I was so bought in the entire time!

The story lacked pulling the reader in, as though I as the reader never fully understood any character or the story fully. The plot felt like it was going nowhere until the last few chapters. But even then wasn’t worth the read.
