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.
