All Your Twisted Secrets

Let’s play a game.

You have 24 hours to win. If you break my rules, she dies. If you call the police, she dies. If you tell your parents or anyone else, she dies.

Are you ready?

When Crystal Donavan gets a message on a mysterious app with a video of her little sister gagged and bound, she agrees to play the kidnapper’s game. At first, they make her complete bizarre tasks: steal a test and stuff it in a locker, bake brownies, make a prank call.

But then Crystal realizes each task is meant to hurt—and kill—her friends, one by one. But if she refuses to play, the kidnapper will kill her sister. Is someone trying to take her team out of the running for a gaming tournament? Or have they uncovered a secret from their past, and wants them to pay for what they did…

As Crystal makes the impossible choices between her friends and her sister, she must uncover the truth and find a way to outplay the kidnapper… before it’s too late.

Author of All Your Twisted Secrets, Diana Urban’s explosive sophomore novel, These Deadly Games, will keep you riveted until the final twist is revealed.

Bienvenidos, y felicidades por haber sido seleccionados. Ahora vosotros debéis ocuparos de la selección. Seis adolescentes acuden a una velada durante la cual se les ha prometido recibir una beca de estudios. Sin embargo, a los minutos de llegar descubrirán que se trata de una trampa; alguien los ha encerrado en la sala con una bomba, una jeringuilla repleta de una toxina mortal e instrucciones muy claras: si en una hora no logran elegir a uno de ellos como víctima, todos morirán. Mientras nos detenemos en los acontecimientos que han marcado las vidas de estos jóvenes en el último año y tratamos de averiguar quién puede andar detrás de este juego retorcido, se hará evidente que todos esconden algo. A medida que el contador se aproxime a cero, la confusión se convertirá en miedo y, el miedo, en pánico, pues puede que al final no haya más opción que escoger cuál debe morir. Diana Urban debuta con un thriller sobrecogedor, un misterio a puerta cerrada imposible de soltar. En el transcurso de sesenta minutos, el lector descubrirá los impensables secretos de seis adolescentes mientras se aproxima a un final de infarto. Prensa y reseñas «Este nuevo thriller de Diana Urban, una trepidante combinación entre El club de los cinco y el popular Alguien está mintiendo, viene cargado de adrenalina. Urban enfrenta a seis adolescentes en una oda a Agatha Christie. Deliciosamente claustrofóbico.» Booklist «Urban debuta con mucha fuerza. El conflicto emocional de los personajes, así como la complejidad de sus relaciones, contribuye a mandar un contundente mensaje contra el acoso escolar. Un libro que aboga por dar la cara y por perseguir nuestras metas.» Publishers Weekly «La autora novel Diana Urban nos sirve un thriller sobrecogedor sobre venganza; un auténtico escape room con un giro de lo más siniestro.» Kirkus «Un thriller cautivador. Atrapará a los lectores a medida que los secretos de estos seis adolescentes vayan quedando al descubierto y el misterio se complique hasta límites insospechados.» School Library Journal «Agárrate. Este thriller pasa de cero a cien por hora en un segundo. Querrás devorarlo de una sola sentada.» Kim Culbertson, autora «Una auténtica montaña rusa. Durante la cuenta atrás, nada te prepara para el final de infarto de este libro. Querrás releerlo inmediatamente.» Mike Chen, autor «Un libro que nos hace reflexionar sobre las terribles consecuencias que el acoso escolar puede llegar a acarrear.» Kimberly McCreight, autora best seller del New York Times «A los jóvenes fans de Agatha Christie les va a encantar. Una nueva voz estelar que hay que vigilar muy de cerca.» J.T. Ellison, autora best seller del New York Times «¡Este libro no podría ser más adictivo! Necesitaba seguir leyendo para descubrir lo que pasaba. Creedme cuando os digo que es un constante bombardeo de sorpresas.» R.L. Stine, autora «Un debut inteligente con una inquietante trama. Diana Urban construye un misterio al más puro estilo de Agatha Christie con un giro contemporáneo muy bien encontrado. Una novela llena de sorpresas que marca la llegada de una nueva y prometedora voz en el escenario de la intriga young-adult.» Lisa Unger, autora best seller del New York Times «Personajes que llegarás a amar y a odiar al mismo tiempo. Es, sencillamente, un thriller fabuloso.» Kaira Rouda, autora best seller del USA Today
