The bestselling author of "Good Girls Die First," "It's Behind You," and "Tag, You're Dead," Kathryn Foxfield, is back with an exhilarating, 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 the battleroyal 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.

Unbeknownst 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.
