All Your Twisted Secrets by Diana Urban

All Your Twisted Secrets

by Diana Urban

A thrilling debut, reminiscent of new fan favorites like One of Us Is Lying and the beloved classics by Agatha Christie, that will leave readers guessing until the explosive ending.

“Welcome to dinner, and again, congratulations on being selected. Now you must do the selecting.”

What do the queen bee, star athlete, valedictorian, stoner, loner, and music geek all have in common? They were all invited to a scholarship dinner, only to discover it’s a trap. Someone has locked them into a room with a bomb, a syringe filled with poison, and a note saying they have an hour to pick someone to kill...or else everyone dies.

Amber Prescott is determined to get her classmates and herself out of the room alive, but that might be easier said than done. No one knows how they’re all connected or who would want them dead.

As they retrace the events over the past year that might have triggered their captor’s ultimatum, it becomes clear that everyone is hiding something.

And with the clock ticking down, confusion turns into fear, and fear morphs into panic as they race to answer the biggest question: Who will they choose to die?

I really had to think about my review of this book. I went with three stars for a few reasons. I felt like the relationship the reader formed with the characters was really base level. I knew who everyone was but I didn't care about any of them. The way the story is told is alternating time lines. One chapter is a flashback and the next chapter is present day. It makes it easier to understand the backstory and how all of the people matter to the story but it really prevented me from being immersed in the plot. The ending surprised me but I really didn't like it. It felt sloppy and while I'm sure it was meant to be shocking it was more frustrating for me.
