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?



Who will be reading this one?

Jo Elliott | 1838 comments Ooh this sounds really interesting, but I already have an audiobook on the go that I probably won't finish till the end of May and I don't own this one. Might give it a try at some point but not next month.

Not available from the library in digital format so I wont be getting to this one right now. Enjoy though!

Gord | 1000 comments I'm about 27% into the book and meh, it's alright I guess. I'm hooked because it's a mystery and my sense of curiosity has me wondering what is going on but there isn't anything that really has me hooked in yet.

Too bad that it isn't hooking you. Hope it improves!

Gord | 1000 comments I finished the book and, well, that was something. I'm going to throw up a spoiler wall so I can just talk about it openly.

Riley | 15 comments I finished this book a couple weeks ago but was traveling and had very spotty internet. I liked how this book was written, moving back and forth between the present and past events that led to their situation. I thought that was well done and kept me engaged in the mystery. I think without that back and forth I may have lost interest. Hard to say because I like a mystery. I did want to shake all the characters at one point. Especially the main character throughout the book. She was very blind and naive to others around her. But I guess that was the point in the end. I also felt like the end of the book put an emphasis on suicide and yet the book didn’t talk much about it directly. It was alluded to but felt like a nebulous side concept waiting in the wings and finally took center stage at the end. Overall, it was a fun read and was something different than what I normally read so I’m glad I read it!
