But a campus party gone wrong changed everything.
Caught in a drug raid, I was summoned to the Dean’s office, where my fate intertwined with five others. Instead of expulsion, our punishment was a twisted stroke of fate. We were to miss the two-week orientation events and embark on a humanitarian project in Africa, installing irrigation systems for a remote village. A teacher who looked more like he belonged in a men’s glossy magazine would accompany us.
However, fate had other plans.
Our plane plunged into the ocean, leaving us stranded on an island.
As we battle the elements, we rely on each other to survive and struggle to maintain our sanity. We unearthed a chilling truth lurking beneath the island’s surface. Things are happening here, and something sinister threatens our existence. Together, we need to conquer our differences and confront the darkness if we ever hope to see civilization again.
Will this motley crew of survivors— the Princess, the Criminal, the Athlete, the Brain, the Basket Case, and the Teaching Assistant — survive the perils of the island, outwit the menacing cannibals, and unravel the malevolent secrets concealed in the depths of the shadows, or will their journey end in tragic demise?

The Wartime Nurse (The Dutch Girls #3) by Imogen Matthews
An ear-splitting blast blows me sideways and debris starts to fall on top of me. In my shock it takes me a moment to realise the very worst has happened – the hospital has been bombed. The screams of panicked patients are deafening. But I can only think about one thing – my darling Will. Where is he?1944, Nazi-occupied Holland. As Nurse Freddie cycles through the tulip fields, she looks like any other law-abiding citizen. But beneath her innocent smile lies an iron will to fight for freedom. The Nazis have no idea she is part of the resistance, and that she risks her life every day to deliver food and messages to hidden refugees.
After a failed attempt to take the life of a Nazi collaborator, Freddie is sent to an underground hospital to tend to a group of injured Allied airmen. And when unconscious English pilot Will wakes up and locks his dazzling blue eyes with hers, her heart jolts. As she tends to his wounds, she can’t help but fall deeply in love with this charming English officer.
Will and Freddie start to dream about a future after the war, but when the hospital is bombed by the Nazis, they lose each other in the chaos. With her heart shattered, Freddie vows to find Will and get him to safety – even if that means letting him go forever.
But Freddie’s world comes crashing down when she learns that Will has been captured. To save him, Freddie must infiltrate the hospital where he is held captive. But will saving him cost Freddie her life or her heart?
