Having recently moved to Manhattan, Skye is struggling to fit in with the young elite that make up her new private school. Her brother, Red, has no problem at all, and quickly climbs the social ladder without her. But then a scientist predicts that the world is going to end, and as doomsday approaches, Skye realises that the line between rich and poor isn't as important as she thought...
I loved this. It was such a fantastic concept, and it has been written so well. I love the time-travel element (the clique have access to a portal that transports them 22 years into the future), and the glimpses that we get into New York of the future. It's these glimpses that make the book genuinely terrifying. There are some quite gruesome scenes too, and the action goes from 1-100 very quickly.
In all honesty, the first third of this book was a bit slow, but the rest was fantastic - I couldn't put it down.
