"Tense and fast-moving, with a unique setting and compelling characters, Under the Surface is Diana Urban’s best yet."—Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying

Only they never reach the party.
Underground, as something sinister chases them, they get lost in the endless maze of bones, uncovering dark secrets about the catacombs…..and each other. And if they can’t find a way out, they’ll die in the dark beneath the City of Light.
Aboveground, Sean races to find the girl he loves as a media frenzy over the four missing teens begins.

This novel, written in dual points of view, was so much fun to read! I loved the setting and it felt as though I was lost in the catacombs under Paris. As new dangers popped up and things that seemed one way started becoming questionable, I never wanted to stop reading. After making a fatal flaw of choosing to trust and follow a stranger into the catacombs, the four girls must learn to trust each other and stick together, despite their past histories.

This one was pretty decent. I guessed part of the ending but the suspense and red-herrings were very well done.
