Arrival: The Phoenix Files #1: Chris Morphew

Welcome to Phoenix: a brand new, custom-built town in the middle of nowhere for the employees of the Shackleton Cooperative. When his mum is employed by Shackleton, Luke must leave everything behind to move to Phoenix. But not everything is as it seems - each student has their own laptopand the classrooms are fitted with the most high-tech equipment, but the phone lines and internet have been down for months, and contact with the outside world seems almost impossible.

After a series of unsettling events, Luke finds himself thrown together with classmates Jordan and Peter on the trail for the truth behind the strange happenings in Phoenix. But what they find out is bigger than anything they ever could’ve imagined, and it’s up to them to put a stop to it.

I love a good conspiracy thriller, and this had me hanging on until the very end trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This is the first in a series, and there are plenty more mysteries to be solved in Phoenix - can’t wait for the next one!
