The bestselling author of Good Girls Die First,
It's Behind You and Tag, You're Dead is back
with an entertaining, high-octane and read-in-a-single-sitting
new thriller.
Walking disaster Saffron and her perfectionist twin sister Georgia
have only one thing in common-they are both obsessed with battle
royale video game Sole Survivor.
While working at a brand new, high tech escape room complex, Saffron
poses a question to the resident AI: which high school stereotype
would survive the longest in a real life version of Sole
Survivor? She is convinced a rebel like her would beat a know-it-all
like Georgia.
Unbeknown to her, the AI decides to determine the answer to her question
by testing it out for real. It invites Saffron and Georgia's
gamer friends to a preview of the escape rooms, but then it locks
the doors and turns the rooms into a life-or-death battle to
be the last player standing.
The rebel, the know-it-all, the princess, the jock, the geek,
the weirdo, the star, the artist and the criminal. Just like in
Sole Survivor, only one can survive the night...
It's Cabin in the Woods meets Squid Game
Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus.
Knife-edge tension and twists you won't see coming.
