Review “Cancel all your plans, because once you pick up 100 HOURS you will not be able to put it down. A suspenseful, gritty, action-packed story that will leave you absolutely breathless.” (Courtney Summers, author of the This Is Not a Test series)“An intense, rapid-fire read.” (Katie McGarry, critically acclaimed author of the Thunder Road series)“A-list clique drama playing out in an exotic setting rife with danger and political import.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)“Vincent builds the story’s tension by using a clever countdown to drive the stakes higher and narrating from alternating points of view.” (Booklist) Read more From the Back Cover Genesis is so over Miami’s predictable social scene with its velvet ropes, petty power plays, and backstabbing boyfriends. And her cousin Maddie is beyond done with the shallow entitlement of everyone around her.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, she gets it.Lured by the promise of white sand far from the cheap plastic sandals of common tourists, Genesis leads her crew to an isolated jungle beach outside Cartagena. But paradise, it turns out, comes at a terrible price.Dragged from their tents under the cover of dark, Genesis, Maddie, and their friends are kidnapped and held for ransom deep in 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 and the hostages begin to turn on one another, Maddie and Genesis discover their kidnappers’ true goals reach far beyond the scope of any problem their family’s money can fix. With little chance of escape and no possibility of rescue, only one thing’s for certain: If the Miami hostages can’t thwart their captors’ plan, no one will make it out alive.
