Survive the Night

By: Danielle Vega

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss

Stephen King meets Pretty Little Liars in this pulse-pounding novel from the author of The Merciless

Just back from rehab, Casey regrets letting her friends Shana, Julie, and Aya talk her into coming to Survive the Night, an all-night, underground rave in a New York City subway tunnel. Surrounded by frightening drugs and menacing strangers, Casey doesn’t think Survive the Night could get any worse...

...until she comes across Julie’s mutilated body in a dank, black subway tunnel, red-eyed rats nibbling at her fingers. Casey thought she was just off with some guy—no one could hear her getting torn apart over the sound of pulsing music. And by the time they get back to the party, everyone is gone.

Desperate for help, Casey and her friends find themselves running through the putrid subway tunnels, searching for a way out. But every manhole is sealed shut, and every noise echoes eerily in the dark, reminding them they’re not alone.

They’re being hunted.

Trapped underground with someone—or something—out to get them, Casey can’t help but listen to Aya’s terrified refrain: “We’re all gonna die down here.”

absolutely AMAZING

this is one of my all time FAVORITE books. Just absolutely amazing and so well written. Vega has never disappointed me in her writing.

awesome book!

love this book. cant get enough of it. cant wait to read more by the author.

The story...meh, but loved the performance.

Sophie Amoss is my favorite narrator so the performance was beyond 5 stars.
However, trying to write a review for this book is confusing because when it was over, I was very confused. The beginning seemed like a different genre than the end, like the author changed her mind midway through. I don't know if this is the norm for all of Danielle Vega's books since this is the first one I have read, but if so, I don't think this is for me. It was okay but weird.

Better than I thought once you actually get into it

So I actually took like a two or three week break after getting about an hour into the story. I then decided to go back in when I was really bored one day and give it another shot. The beginning of it is a little choppy and the girls voice is a little bit hard to get used to but once you actually get into the story you realize that her voice is actually perfect for the character and the storyline is pretty good. it’s a little out there but definitely worth a credit. It’s very descriptive but pretty gory so if you’re not into that, I’d probably not get this book. I could see this being made into a movie.

Book started great

This book started off great. Towards the middle I couldn't stop listening but once we found out what was actually "going on" it flopped. It was unrealistic and repetitive. It dragged out so much that wasn't necessary. I just wanted it to be over with. I really struggled to finish this. ugh.
