My teen son read a book over the weekend!! If you / your teen enjoyed “The Bunker Diaries” please recommend another as desperate to keep up the momentum!

It was a joy to behold this weekend…. my 15 year old teen son reading. In fact, utterly absorbed. Phone was no where in sight, no gaming, every time i strolled past him he had his nose in the book and finished it in one weekend!
He said it was “a one off mum, don’t get excited”.
but i want to have some follow up books just lying around on the chance he picks up as he did this one!
if you liked the Bunker Diaries or your teen… what else did you / they enjoy?
Thank you

Will Hill 'After the Fire' is good (based on the Waco siege in Texas)
Maybe Lord of the Flies?
Stephen King books?
Black Rabbit Summer, also by Kevin Brooks
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

The Bunker Diary is so gripping but incredibly grim so I'm trying to think of something that might appeal - the plot is fairly unusual so hope these at least hit some similar notes.
