GoodReads Description

After enduring a horrific plane crash, a small group of survivors must work together in order to withstand the harshest conditions imaginable in the remote wilderness of New Zealand’s South Island.

The year is 2022, and their epic journey, fraught with danger and mystery, will alter the course of human history forever.

Led by charismatic Special Forces captain Noah Lockheart and his wife Evelyn, an accomplished scientist, the band of weary travelers must battle the elements along with their fears, as they race toward civilization, and their hope for rescue.

Among the survivors is Mia Sinclair, an extraordinary girl who can glimpse the future. Through their trials, the Lockhearts begin to uncover the girl’s ability in spite of her best efforts to keep it hidden. But even as Mia proves to be an invaluable ally, her gift comes at an unbearable cost.

Each step brings them closer to salvation– and to unraveling the mystery of their abandonment. But just when they think they are saved, they realize that they have never been farther from home.

Eden is a bold, heart-pounding page-turner, told through the seamlessly shifting perspectives of the eccentric band of survivors. As the thriller unfolds, so do the survivors’ inextricable links to one another in a plot rife with twists and turns, till the very end.

I'll break the ice... Well this was an epic adventure! I like nothing better than an old fashioned page turner and this book did not disappoint. The whole time I kept asking myself where is this going to go and just when I thought I knew, POW! Mr. Holley throws you another curveball. What I think is the most interesting aspect of this book is the author's willingness to defy any convention in storytelling I have ever read. Writing in the present tense, and leaving the reader on the biggest cliffhanger ever. How refreshing! Good show Mr. Holley. This was a fun read and I can't wait for the sequel.

I highly recommend if you like adventure, horror, mystery and suspense.

I read this book a little while ago and I really enjoyed it. Does anyone know when the sequel is coming out? This was definitely a fun book to read and one of my favorites I read all year.
