Seventeen-year-old boarding school student Emily Walters is selected for an opportunity of a lifetime—she’ll compete abroad for a cash prize that will cover not only tuition to the college of her choice, but will lift her mother and her out of poverty.
But almost from the moment she and 11 other contestants board a private jet to Europe, Emily realizes somebody is willing to do anything to win. Between keeping an eye on her best friend’s flirty boyfriend and hiding her own dark secrets, she’s not sure how she’ll survive the contest, much less the flight. Especially when people start dying…
In Thin Air, a group of students are flying to France to compete for a scholarship that will cover their full tuition. They all come from prestigious boarding schools. Having to compete in games on the plane, the students soon find themselves fighting for their lives.
I'm not going to lie, I didn't really love this one. It's short, so that is why I finished it. The story is told solely through Emily's point of view. She isn't a very likable character. She lied to get in the competition. People are dying around her and all she can think about is if the cute boy likes her and if he will kiss her. I mean, she kind of solves the case, so there is that. The rest of the teens weren't really any better. The major issue I had with the book was the ending and the solution to the case. It came out of left field and was really lame. I mean, there were zero clues that would help the reader solve it. I wouldn't even call it a twist. I won't spoil it, but I wasn't a fan. I don't really recommend this one. There are better closed room YA mysteries out there.
