The Choices We Make to Survive Erica has joined an elite strike team focused on eliminating threats that nobody else can handle. She can kill with a pencil, create impenetrable disguises, and extract information from the most tight-lipped terrorist. But none of that is any help when a hostile agent captures her during a covert mission to neutralize a biological weapon. The agent releases her, but only after planting a time bomb in her head. If she doesn't obey the instructions, she will die in the most painful way imaginable. During her desperate search for a solution, Erica discovers a secret so disturbing that even knowing it threatens her life. Soon, the device in her head seems like the least of her problems as she struggles to survive, battling a foe she never thought she'd have to face.

Erica barely survived being kidnapped and confined in a labyrinth full of lethal traps. But now, her captors claim everything they put her through was for the greater good. Their plan is for her to join an elite team dedicated to eliminating deadly threats that nobody else can defeat. After what happened, Erica's not sure she can believe anything her kidnappers say. And if they aren't telling the truth, what is their real plan? Erica knows finding those answers won't be easy. She's dealing with people who haven't hesitated to kill in the past, and it looks like she'll be hard-pressed to even survive training....

For three years running, on the exact same day in May, six students vanished from Erica Trestle's high school. The adults deny anything unusual is happening, claiming the teenagers went on exchange programs or moved to other cities. But to Erica, their explanations seem absurd. Why were families moving without warning in the middle of the night? Why wouldn't the students tell their friends they were going on an exchange program, and why didn't they return? When two of the missing teenagers reappear-one catatonic and one dead-most of the students become convinced they are in danger. As the day rolls around again, Erica and her friends scramble for ways to protect themselves against the threat no adult, not even the police, seems to take seriously. In the face of their indifference, Erica is certain the disappearances are a part of a vast conspiracy, more dangerous than anyone imagines. What she doesn't realize is that this year-it's her turn.
