Skye lives in a world of money and privilege, rich family, exclusive school, but all this doesn't make her happy. All she really wants is friends and a family who care about her, unlike her mother and indifferent stepfather.
Prophecies of the end of the world are looking more and more likely in the run up to the destined date but most people in Skye's circle are ignoring it and continuing with their endless partying. Until she's invited into Misty's inner circle and with becomes part of the Secret Runners. They travel into the future and see that the end of the world is very much going to happen and unless she can do something about it, they are all likely to die.
The story was so fast paced and thrilling that I didn't want to put the book down. There are maps sprinkled through the chapters which I found really useful in orienting myself.
There were a couple of things I didn't enjoy, for example I found it very hard to empathise with the friendships and relationships in the book. They are all quite superficially glossed over, even the ones which are not actually superficial. It made it a bit hard to understand some of Skye's actions. The end was a little abrupt too, after all the action in the lead up.
Overall though, I really enjoyed reading this and found it gripping and entertaining.
