Neverworld Wake
Because I love this author's other books, I was excited about this one. Her characters are complex, the writing just as lyrical.
Beatrice, a college student,is recovering from the mysterious death of her boyfriend Jim. When she visits Jim's four friends--the beautiful Whitley, sarcastic Kipling, Type A personality Connor, and brainy Marina--they become involved in a car accident.
They all survive. But the day becomes strange and they realize they're trapped in time, forced to live the day over and over again until they can vote as to which one of them survives the car accident that, as a mysterious man tells them, kills all of them but for one.
Beatrice must figure out how to escape this hell as her friends' darkest secrets are revealed and this world becomes their playground. The result is a dark fantasy with elements of mystery and horror, vividly written and one of the best I've read.
