“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?” - taken from Goodreads.com
I listened to the audio version of this book and was a little disappointed the main character, Amber Prescott, was the only narrator. A reviewer had described the plot of this book as a cross between The Breakfast Club and Agatha Christie with the splash of One of Us is Lying thrown in. With six students locked in a room under the guise of a scholarship dinner, they soon find that in order to get out either they must decide which one of the six will die or the bomb will go off in one hour killing them all.
Told in alternating chapters between now and what has occurred in their lives during the past year, readers will be counting down just to see who the evil mastermind is.
