We have two words for all you YA thriller/horror readers out there: buckle up.
Friend of Writer’s Atelier Amy Christine Parker has a new book coming out this fall from Underlined Paperbacks/Penguin Random House! We are absolutely thrilled (pun not intended) to be part of the cover reveal today!
About the Book
In this edge-of-your-seat horror novel, a four-hour flight takes a nightmarish turn when a supernatural creature gives a group of high school students a sinister ultimatum.
Devon Marsh is haunted by secrets. Like the identity of the person who killed her twin sister, Emily, in a hit and run accident last Halloween, which Devon has vowed to uncover. Like the things Devon said to Emily just before she died.
But she’s determined to start fresh when she boards a four-hour flight along with her classmates for their senior class ski trip. Devon never could have guessed those secrets would surface in the most terrifying way when a supernatural creature hijacks their flight and gives the students a deadly ultimatum:
Choose one among them to sacrifice before the end of the flight. Or the plane will crash.
As the clock ticks down, the creature slowly unearths the passengers’ deepest, darkest secrets—and reveals that one of the teens on the plane is responsible for Emily’s death. The students must agree on a sacrifice, or there won’t be any survivors. But can Devon find a way to stop the creature, or will she give in to her anger and let revenge take control?

And now for the moment we’ve all been waiting for!
Here’s What Amy Has to Say
I am so excited to share the cover of FLIGHT 171 with you today! I think it perfectly captures the tone of the book. The way the seat rows narrow near the front of the plane create a feeling of claustrophobia. The bloody handprints and blood spatters are a morbid warning that not everyone will make it off this plane alive. Look closely at the shadows and you just might see a pair of eyes staring back at you! I couldn’t be happier with this design. I hope you like it as much as I do. And if you are brave enough to pre-order, thank you very much for choosing this book. But fasten your seat belt because it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
Congratulations, Amy!
