Booklist: Groundhog Day meets Murder on the Orient Express in this audacious airborne thriller that’s sure to have you on the edge of your aisle seat. Evelyn and Orion are two teens on a flight home from Hawaii who are running from problems in their daily lives. But when they find themselves reliving the same terrifying 28 minutes over and over, our heroes must team up to save a plane full of passengers from a deadly time loop. Writer and scuba diver Reiss (Out of Air, 2025) brings her tight plotting and vivid characterization to a more contained setting than her underwater debut, but her ability to wring tension out of a plot structure that repeats the same beats is genuinely impressive. Readers with a fear of flying and an aversion to gore should steer clear, but anyone seeking a metaphysical page-turner for their layover should rush to the nearest Hudson Books to buy the latest work from this exciting new voice in YA suspense.
