My Review
5/5 Stars
Justice. It’s an important theme of this book.
I didn’t know what to think when it first started, but once things started to take off, I couldn’t stop listening. I binged the entire audiobook in one setting. Cheryl is the new girl at the office. She wants to fit in, but it seems as if no matter how hard she tries, she doesn’t connect with her coworkers. When a “company outing” announces everyone’s name but hers, she’s off put. Thanks to a mixup, she ends up going, and wishes more than anything that she hadn’t.
This is a suspenseful read plotwise and characterwise. When the story begins, we don’t know much about any of the characters, but as the story trudges along, we’re given the backstory to each and why they’ve landed themselves in the escape room. Everyone has secrets, each secret worse than the last.
There’s plenty of torture and gore, the perfect dash of horror to compliment the suspense.
Aubrey Parsons’ narration was perfect, bringing the characters to life. He had a unique voice for each male character which I found especially interesting.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
