But then the roller coaster stops. 200 metres above ground.
You realise no one is around. No one can hear your scream.
You’re stranded. There is no help coming. How will you escape?

Cady has just become one of YT's most popular vloggers with her channel dedicated to thrill-seeking activities such as riding rollercoasters & solo camping out in isolated locations. Boyfriend Tom is worried about Cady's safety especially since a creepy stalker followed her out into the woods one night, but Cady needs to keep posting videos & getting those likes.

OutsmartYourShelf When she is offered the chance by Danny, an old university friend, to attend a behind-the-scenes look at a new theme park in the Middle East, & an exclusive ride on the tallest coaster in the world before it opens to the public, Cady doesn't hesitate. It seems Danny has invited their old friend group from university along, & seeing them allays a few of Cady's worries about the lack of security. 4d
OutsmartYourShelf But when the ride stops at the highest point & shuts down, she realises they are all trapped with no phones, & no-one around to hear them.

I liked the premise. I'm a big fan of isolated location thrillers so have read a lot of books which take place in hotels cut off by weather, islands cut off by the tide, etc etc, but this is the first one set on a rollercoaster.

OutsmartYourShelf Much like the coaster itself, it starts off well but unfortunately stalls just as it should be picking up the pace when it gets to the chapters set in the past - they are necessary for the storyline but negatively affect the pacing. Overall, I did enjoy reading it but thought it could have been a bit more gripping given the setting.
3.5 🌟

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, HarperCollins UK/One More Chapter, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
