It can’t see me.

All I need is a sign.
Please.
Give me a sign thar I can begin.” – 3.5/5 stars!

There’s no escape from this room. Full of menace and suspense, it’s an unputdownable thriller–and a paperback original!

Alissa, Sky, Cleo, and Miles just wanted something to do on a Friday night, so they signed up for an Escape Room. They have one hour to find clues, crack codes, and figure out puzzles. The Game Master told them they can always leave the game. But what if that’s not true? What if the Game Master has no intention of letting them out?

I stumbled across this book on Goodreads and it looked interesting, so I decided to get it and see it for myself!

The plot was cool, but nothing out of this world. The story follows four teenagers who decided to participate in an escape room together and they get stuck there by some mysterious person who is controlling it. As far as the mystery goes, I was expecting a bit more, but I’m not too mad for how it turned out. There were some creepier parts here and there, but nothing too extraordinary as well. Overall I think it’s an okay story and the writing is not bad. I didn’t predict the outcome, which I thought was well put together and the story is wrapped up nicely.

The characters were okay, and Mint was my favorite of the group. She was very interesting and intelligent and I really liked reading about her! I just wish the author explored more of Mint’s ability. I thought this would be explained at some point, but it was only pointed out a few times when it was “necessary” for the story.

The book is relatively small and it has small chapters as well, so you will go through it quickly. We also get the points of view of all the four main characters in this, so we get to know what they’re thinking about the situations they’re in.

In the end, I liked it for what it was: a quick, entertaining read! It’s not a book that will change your life and it’s not a mind blowing thriller/mystery, but I think it’s a fun and different option to read on a Saturday afternoon.
