Description

From the author of Escape Room comes Deep Water, a new pulse-quickening read that asks: How do you outrun danger when you're trapped at sea?

Welcome to No Exit.

The place for you, so that others are safe.

Vesper thought a ten-day cruise would be the perfect escape from her troubled life. But when the ship leaves the harbor, she quickly realizes this is no ordinary vacation. She has been enrolled in No Exit, a sinister program to reeducate bullies. Now, Vesper and her fellow passengers are in deep water—and they’re about to confront their darkest fears and deepest regrets.

As the days pass, the ship becomes a floating prison where the rules are brutal and the punishments deadly. With each new challenge, the teens must navigate physical and psychological trials that push them to their limits.

And not everyone will make it back alive.
