These Deadly Games

by Diana Urban

Let's play a game.

You have 24 hours to win. If you break my rules, she dies. If you call the police, she dies. If you tell your parents or anyone else, she dies.

Are you ready?

When Crystal Donavan gets a message on a mysterious app with a picture of her little sister gagged and bound, she agrees to play the kidnapper's game. At first, they make her complete bizarre tasks: steal a test and stuff it in a locker, bake brownies, make a prank call.

But then Crystal realizes that each task is meant to hurt-and kill-her friends, one by one. But if she refuses to play, the kidnapper will kill her sister. Is someone trying to take her team out of the running for a gaming tournament? Or have they uncovered a secret from their past, and wants them to pay for what they did...

Author of All Your Twisted Secrets, Diana Urban's explosive sophomore novel, These Deadly Games, will keep you riveted until the final twist is revealed.

3.5/5. A good mystery, but I wanted more breadcrumbs along the way so I could try to guess who the culprit was vs. Having no idea or clues until the reveal at the end.
