“An atmospheric and entertaining thriller perfect for snowy night chills.” — Kirkus Reviews

 

In this chilling mystery from a New York Times bestselling author, a storm strands a group of teens in a creepy motel–leaving them trapped with a killer.



Nell has always wanted to be an actor, but she doubts her ability. As a member of her school’s theater program, she prefers working backstage. On the way to a contest, an unexpected blizzard strands her acting troupe in a creepy motel. Soon they meet a group of strangers from another high school–including the mysterious and handsome Knox, who insists they play the game Two Truths and a Lie. When it’s Nell’s turn, she draws a slip of paper written in unfamiliar handwriting:



I like to watch people die.

I’ve lost count of how many people I’ve killed.



Suddenly, a night of harmless fun turns into a matter of life and death. As guests start to go missing, it becomes clear that a murderer is hiding in their midst ready to strike again. In a room full of liars and performers, the truth is never quite what it seems. Nell is going to have to act like her life depends on it–because it does.



And don’t miss these other chilling thrillers from April Henry including When We Go Missing, Stay Dead, and Girl Forgotten.
