It’s all fun and games until someone ends up dead.

Six months ago, season four of The Escape Game ended in horror when contestant Alicia Angelos was found murdered on set.

Now season five is underway, and new contestants are ready to put their skills to the test solving the show's trickiest escape rooms. There's Adi, the cryptographer; Carter, the math whiz; Beck, the wannabe game master; and . . . Sierra Angelos, the girl who got away with her sister’s murder. Or so everyone believes.

But Sierra’s not just here to win. She’s here for justice.

When the contestants begin uncovering clues that hint at the identity of Alicia’s true killer, it becomes clear that the stakes aren’t high just in this competition—they’re deadly. If these teens want to win—and survive—the game, they must solve the biggest mystery of all: who killed Alicia Angelos?

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer and rising star Tamara Moss comes a twisty thrill-ride that will take readers on an exhilarating hunt to uncover secrets, conspiracy, and cold-blooded murder.

intensely readable, despite hiccups

I finished this book in one sitting, and that's both a testament to the short timestamp and the easy reading that the book offers. is this the best written piece of literature that I've read? No. Not the best Marissa Meyer book either. But I kept wanting to read, and that certainly says something. And while there were bits of the ending that I saw coming, there were plenty of turns that I didn't predict (or at least didn't predict the how). I will absolutely read the sequel.

That said, I did find the narration difficult to endure. this was one of those books that I had to speed up in order to not be irritated by the vocal inflection, and the Australian accent was extremely inconsistent. Besides those two faults, though, I've heard worse.

Fun engrossing cozy mystery

I listened to the whole thing in 2 days. It took me a couple of chapters to settle in, but then I loved it. Creative, colorful, good pace. The right amount of heart and friendship

Loved it

Jaw dropped literally when I found out a lot towards the end. I need book two.

Thrilling Cozy Mystery

This book really kept me guessing, which is always impressive! The characters were likable, the escape room premise really fun and interesting, and the past mystery and current storyline super engaging, and I already can’t wait for the sequel.

The characters and the escape rooms

I loved the whole thing I could not guess the killer and when I found out who it was I was shocked.
