Feathered

Feathered by Laura Kasischke is timely - something literally taken right out of the headlines!
Three girls leave on a trip to Cancun, all with different expectations about what is going to happen. They have all been brought up with very different parents, some overly cautious, all loving and concerned. They are perfect, happy, teenage girls who just want to enjoy themselves and can't imagine anything dark and dangerous.

Terror comes from the least likely suspects, however, and two of the girls find themselves trapped in a quagmire of date rape drugs and kidnapping while in a foreign country. Each girl has to react to a different type of situation, making decisions that will forever change their lives.

Told from alternating perspectives, readers will find themselves quickly and easily drawn into the culture and folklore of Mexico paralleled with the horrors faced by these high school seniors.

It is scary, it is realistic, and it is moving.
