This is scary reading. I enjoyed it. Our protagonist is one of 12 contestants in the wilderness trying to survive to win a million dollars. Mostly we know them by names like Tracker, Engineer, Air Force, etc. Our protagonist is known as Zoo. She is there for the adventure more than the money. As we get to know all their personalities, we also know something terrible and unstoppable is happening. Alone in the wilderness, poor Zoo thinks it is all part of the game and she is determined not to quit. All the while, she doesn't realize how real the horrors she experiences really are.
