About this ebook

"The setting is claustrophobic, the characters are complex and the story will keep readers on the edge of their seats," KLIATT raved of this vivid, fast-paced psychological thriller in a starred review. Kyle Kirby has planned a cruel and unusual revenge on Cass McBride, the most popular girl in school, for the death of his brother David. He digs a hole. Kidnaps Cass. Puts her in a box--underground. He buries her alive. But lying in the deepest dark, Cass finds a weapon: she uses the power of words to keep her nemesis talking--and herself breathing--during the most harrowing 48 hours of her life.

Ratings and reviews

No direct timeline. Characters are bland. Weird references that are hard to relate to. Story development drags. I chose this book to read with my class and we couldn't bring ourselves to finish it.

This is the best book ever!!!! I wonder what will happen to Cass McBride at the end of the book. Will she escape the box or will somebody save her from the box.

I absolutely loved this book, grabbed my attention from the beginning
