A New York Times Bestseller
A LibraryReads Hall of Fame Pick

They were nine survivors. Now, a decade later, only seven remain...how long can they keep the promise made that night Don't miss this "gripping thriller" (CrimeReads) from the Reese Witherspoon Book Club selected and New York Times bestselling author Megan Miranda.

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.

Reviews

PRAISE for ALL THE MISSING GIRLS

"In All the Missing Girls Megan Miranda leads readers back through the past of a small southern town, enfolding them in a slow, tense nightmare of suspicion, menace, and tangled motives. A twisty, compulsive read--I loved it." -- Ruth Ware, author of IN A DARK, DARK WOOD

PRAISE FOR SUCH A QUIET PLACE

"Miranda, who makes the setting, where everyone knows one another and ends up fearing one another, all the more chilling for its seeming normality, is a master of misdirection and sudden plot twists, leading up to a wallop of an ending. A powerful, paranoid thriller." - Booklist (Starred Review)

"A claustrophobic and suspenseful whodunit...that ponders the eternal question of how well we really know those closest to us." - BookPage (Starred Review)

PRAISE FOR THE GIRL FROM WIDOW HILLS

"Sleepwalking is creepy. You're asleep, but you're walking through the night--like the living dead. I knew when I started The Girl from Widow Hills I was in for some shivers. But I had no idea the terrors that were in store."--R. L. STINE, bestselling author of Goosebumps and Fear Street

"A hauntingly atmospheric and gorgeously written page-turner, The Girl from Widow Hills is a deeply thought-provoking, riveting mystery about the complex weight of history and the dangerous power of the lies we tell ourselves."--KIMBERLY McCREIGHT, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia and A Good Marriage

PRAISE FOR THE LAST HOUSE GUEST

"The perfect summer thriller . . . with a pace that made my heart race." --Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Time I Lied

"Oh boy, does she ever know how to write a twisty-turny ending (or two, or more)." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

"A lightning-fast mystery . . . that will have readers on the edge of their seats."--MARY KUBICA, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl

PRAISE FOR THE LAST TO VANISH

"This eerie thriller, in which the setting itself may be actively malevolent, can stand next to Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and Stephen King's The Shining ... Expect shivers and lots of them."
--Booklist (starred)

"The Last To Vanish is Megan Miranda at her finest: an eerie edge-of-the-earth location, riveting characters, and thrills that just don't quit. Loved this novel."

"Fans of Gillian Flynn, Chevy Stevens, and Jennifer McMahon will devour this relentlessly paced and deftly plotted thriller... The story moves at a feverish, unfaltering pace, keeping readers just as perplexed as the characters."
--Publishers Weekly

"Highly recommended for fans of Alafair Burke, Gillian Flynn, and Lisa Lutz, and for all readers who like their female characters clever and resourceful, even when their best friends become their worst nightmares."
--Booklist

"This eerie thriller, in which the setting itself may be actively malevolent, can stand next to Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and Stephen King's The Shining ... Expect shivers and lots of them."
