I was super excited about getting this book. I told my family all about it and they just stared at me like I was crazy. This book definitely has an original storyline. Dee has been convicted of murdering her step-sister and her punishment is being sent to Alcatraz 2.0. Alcatraz 2.0 is an island where convicts are sent, then hunted down and brutally murdered by professional assassins. All of this is filmed and viewed by everyone in America through an app. 

The thing is, Dee is innocent. She was framed for her sisters murder. When she gets to the island she is supposed to be offed by Prince Slycer, only Dee ends up killing him instead. After that, things on the island get stranger and more dangerous every moment. 

Can Dee and her friends find a way off the island? Will she live through the night? 

This book is good for high school kids, it's a little gory for middle school. I generally enjoyed the book. Towards the end it did become a little unrealistic and predictable to some degree. I still couldn't put it down for the last 50 pages though.
