6 unfortunate friends head out on a hike just off a small rural town in America, it is all a great laugh until they start getting warnings from locals to stick to the trail and one of the characters causes a few problems with some of the towns people. The day after arriving they head off up into the forest exploring and enjoying themselves until they slip off track as warned not too, and all that waits is destruction and heartache. With alot of confusion as to what is happening to them, they make a terrible lack of judgement and must answer for the events that took place, to survive they must surrender to what they know and do what they can.
Brilliant film loved it from start to finish, and not your usual ending, normally they finish it and you want to see what comes next, but in this awesome movie they do exactly that! With a little bit of hope it has left it open for a possible 2nd one to come out!

The older brother, 17 year old Jack, is determined not to lose his younger brother to the foster care system. When they find themselves alone with no chance of help, Jack decides that he needs to find the drug money that his father hid before his arrest. The thing is, he’s not the only one looking for the money. The man who is also looking for it, Bardem, will do anything to get what he believes is his. Jack and Matty’s lives are in danger. And not just from Bardem. The local drug dealers also want payback for what Jack and Matty’s father did, and they’re happy for the boys to pay for it - with their lives.
I spent most of this book with my heart in my mouth. These boys, even with the help of Ava, are in so much danger. The fact that Ava is Bardem’s daughter (an I’m giving nothing away here)did nothing to calm my fears for them.
I won’t sugar coat this - it’s not a happy book, and another clear example of the term “Young Adult” being completely arbitrary. The fact that it is under the YA heading really shouldn’t put anyone off reading it. It is so well written, stunningly so, and I’d highly recommend it.
