The Escape Game by Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moss

Will Alicia’s murder be avenged?

Season five of The Escape Game is beginning, even though season four ended with the murder of a contestant, Alicia Angelos. Alicia’s sister, Sierra, is a current contestant and her goal is to solve the mystery of her sister’s death. The contestants are a diverse group with varied backgrounds and skills. The more she learns about the others involved in the contest, Sierra realizes that they all have something to hide. Will she be able to get justice for her sister’s death?

Likes/dislikes: The character development is strong. A wonderful character driven mystery. I love the teamwork that pushes the story along and I enjoyed the puzzle concept.
Language: R for 149 swears and 9 f-words.
Mature content: PG for gentle, brief kiss.
Violence: PG-13 for off page abuse of a child, stabbing and gunshot wounds, and a bloody death.
Ethnicity: Sierra and Alicia have pale skin. The rest of the characters are a mix of ethnicities with olive, brown and black skin.
