Books like Only Survivors by Megan Miranda

A decade earlier, a crash of two vans filled with high‑school seniors plunged them into a Tennessee ravine, killing several classmates and teachers. Nine students escaped the river but were forever altered. The survivors bound themselves to meet each anniversary to honor the tragedy. By the tenth year, Cassidy Bent has distanced herself from the group, severing contacts and trying to extinguish the painful memories. When a grief‑filled text reveals that another survivor has died, Cassidy is forced back into the reunion. The gathering is interrupted by a rising storm and then the disappearance of Amaya, the organizer of the gathering. With roads shut and tides threatening the coast, the survivors must navigate looming danger while unraveling why Amaya vanished. The event forces them to confront the bonds that once united them and the hidden motives that now threaten their survival.
