This thrilling debut, reminiscent of new fan favorites like One of Us Is Lying and the beloved classics by Agatha Christie, 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?

so... i really don't know how to rate it. starting with the positives: - i LOVE character-driven thrillers, and this one did deliver in terms of the characters. they were really interesting and flashed out, each of them had their distinct voice that helped me to be immersed in the atmosphere of the book. - i kind of liked the ambiguity of the ending. - the atmosphere, again, was superb. i was on the edge of my seat the whole time and couldn't sleep until i finished it. and... the negatives: - i said that i liked the ambiguity of the ending but it wasn't as shocking as it could be. every thriller reader could predict the ending in the first 10 pages, i think. (i don't know, people seem to be shocked by the ending, so maybe i am not right.) so... i liked and hated the ending at the same time. - it didn't bring anything new to the table. not for a second during my reading was i shocked by anything that happened. almost everything was very predictable. all in all, my experience with the book was good. but i need a little more time to decide on my rating.
