This Is Where We Die

Cindy R. X. He

Eight friends went on a trip. Only six made it out alive. Now a killer has one night to make sure the survivors pay for what they did . . . so that zero make it out alive. From the author of Perfect Little Monsters comes another incredible twisty thriller.

Sadie, Will, Isla, Anthony, Emily, and Charlie are survivors. They were the six (out of eight) to return from a ski holiday turned nightmare two years ago. Although... nobody knows exactly what happened; the details hushed up via the wealth and connections of Sadie's rich parents.

When an exclusive private island with a mansion for rent goes viral on social media, their graduating class persuades Sadie to rent it for the weekend. The six arrive first by helicopter and wait for the rest of their classmates to join them by boat the next day.

But nobody ever comes.

Cut off from the rest of the world with no cell service and no means off the island, paranoia and terror mount as they start to be picked off one by one by an unseen killer. Their past has finally caught up with them, and they'll need to figure out who is killing them before they all wind up dead.

Praise for this book

"Twisty, shocking, and at times brutal, He's sophomore novel is an unputdownable, whip-smart take on Agatha Christie for today's YA reader." -- MK Pagano, author of Girls Who Burn
"This Is Where We Die is a cutthroat elimination thriller with a gloriously grisly premise and to die for cast of suspects. I devoured it in one sitting and immediately added it back to my TBR to read again. Wickedly funny, delightfully chilling, and propulsive to the final word." -- Dana Mele, author of People Like Us and Summer's Edge
"This Is Where We Die is a locked room thriller at its finest. This twisted slasher tale of revenge gone wrong--or right, depending on how you look at it--had me questioning absolutely everything and everyone." -- Trish Lundy, author of The One That Got Away with Murder
"I inhaled this dark, chilling, and incredibly suspenseful read in one sitting. With tension radiating off the page, distinct perspectives, and clever twists, This is Where We Die is a stunningly fresh and modern twist on the locked room murder mystery that will leave readers reeling in the best way. Absolutely impossible to put down!" -- Kelsea Yu, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of It's Only a Game and Bound Feet
