A crisis that keeps resetting

Aboard Aloha Airways Flight 1333, Evelyn Werth is the only passenger aware that the same 28 minutes keep repeating. Each cycle brings a familiar sequence of warning signs and danger, until Orion James wakes and disrupts the pattern. The plane’s confined setting gives the time-loop mystery a clear, urgent puzzle: Evelyn and Orion must work through clues and shifting events to understand what is happening and protect everyone onboard. The setup combines an airborne thriller with a developing partnership built on trust, keeping the central questions tied to both the loop’s mechanics and the passengers’ safety.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in thrillers and suspense
  • Readers who enjoy time-loop mysteries and puzzles

Book overview

Buckle up for a wild ride with this airborne locked-door thriller. Previously a Wattpad WEBTOON Watty Award winning story.

Eighteen-year-old Evelyn Werth is trapped in what feels like a never-ending nightmare. She's the only person onboard Aloha Airways Flight 1333 who's stuck in a 28-minute time loop, one that repeats over and over again. During each loop, four things always happen:

1. The Internet goes out and the pilot warns of upcoming turbulence.
2. There are five minutes of moderate shaking.
3. A woman in the very last row collapses.
4. The plane tilts forward and begins to nosedive.

When Orion James -the cute boy who's been asleep the entirety of each cycle- wakes, it triggers an alarming change in the events Evelyn has come to count on. As the two grow closer and learn to trust each other, they discover there's more to the loop than they initially realized. They must find the hidden clues, piece together the moving puzzle, and save everyone onboard -before it's too late.
