A decadent spring break beach getaway becomes a terrifying survival story when six Miami teens are kidnapped. A pulse-pounding thrill ride from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent. Maddie is beyond done with her cousin Genesis’s entitled and shallow entourage. Genesis is so over Miami’s predictable social scene with its velvet ropes, petty power plays, and backstabbing boyfriends. While Maddie craves family time for spring break, Genesis seeks novelty—like a last-minute getaway to an untouched beach in Colombia. And when Genesis wants something, it happens. But paradise has its price. Dragged from their tents under the cover of dark, Genesis, Maddie, and their friends are kidnapped and held for ransom deep inside the jungle—with no diva left behind. It all feels so random to everyone except Genesis. She knows they were targeted for a reason. And that reason is her. Now, as the hours count down, only one thing’s for certain: If the Miami hostages can’t thwart their captors’ plan, no one will make it out alive. Tapping into our darkest fears while exploring issues of injustice, loss, and the courage to fight for what matters most, this thrilling read is perfect for fans of Nova Ren Suma, Becca Fitzpatrick, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Dear Rachel,
It's been a long time since I've read one of your books. I got too busy to read! And it's a damn shame, since I've never read a book of yours that I didn't fall in love with. I discovered you through the Soul Screamers and Shifter series. And I even got to meet you back in 2012 at BEA! But sometime in there, I just fell away from reading. Other things got in the way. But then I saw 100 Hours.
I was intrigued that this book wasn't urban fantasy/paranormal like the rest of your books. And I had no idea what to expect.
And to be honest, at first I was disappointed. I'd grown so accustomed to jumping into something that is “other” right from the get go (like Faythe's introduction in Stray), that watching the spring break of a few spoiled teenagers felt anti-climactic.
But then.
You made me feel for those teenagers. You made me care about those teenagers who ended up kidnapped in the jungle. I don't know how you do it, but you managed to take the shallow, vapid Genesis and make her my favorite character, when I expected it to be Maddie.
I became emotionally invested in what was happening, and I couldn't stop listening (because I have the audio book). I would get home and sit in the driveway because I couldn't turn it off yet. I would get to work and sit in the parking deck for a few extra minutes just to hear more.
And I never saw that ending coming.
My only complaint is that the audio book for the follow up 99 Lies isn't available yet!
