[Trisha]

Nina, still grieving from the loss of her father, discovers that she has inherited property in the British Virgin Islands—a vacation home she had no idea existed, until now. The house is extraordinary: state-of-the-art, all glass and marble. How did her sensible father come into enough money for this? Why did he keep it from her? And what else was he hiding?

Maria, once an ambitious medical student, is a nanny for the super-rich. The money’s better, and so are the destinations where her work takes her. Just one more gig, and she’ll be set. Finally, she’ll be secure. But when her wards never show, Maria begins to make herself at home, spending her days luxuriating by the pool and in the sauna.

There’s just one rule: Don’t go in the basement. That room is off-limits. But her curiosity might just get the better of her.

And soon, she’ll wish her only worry was not getting paid.

ooh this one is so good so far!
I'm completely hooked! I'm doing as audio and it's read by the author!

Maria (view spoiler)[ why oh why did she go in there? what was she thinking? This was easy money and an easy job.
but I do wonder why someone brought her there if they didn't actually intend her to watch kids
and when is this? Is this before or after the dad got the property? (hide spoiler)]

Nina (view spoiler)[ so far, I'm assuming she is AFTER Maria.
I can't even imagine how tough it would be to find out her father owned this house and she didn't know.
I wonder what she'll find here and if someone is still running this weird experiment (hide spoiler)]

holy moly (view spoiler)[ what is going on? What happened to Maria? and who could be behind this?
If Maria is later and not earlier, could it be Nina behind all this?

or are the attorneys involved? the notes are scary too and knowing Maria could disappear and no one would note - assuming the hiring company is a lie (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ OMG okay, so they are testing people through escape rooms?! And is "inheriting it" just another ploy? Is Maria there under false pretenses? but there are clues from her dad in there. I still wonder if she was the first and if she kept her father's house going - but why? (hide spoiler)]

OMG I'm so hooked!

[Trisha]

and done!

WOW! (view spoiler)[ all for a show! Just wild! So glad Nina made it out and so did Joe
I couldn't help but wonder if James was involved.
I hate that they just got to keep going - watching new shows as a new spot was located
but this was SUCH a good story! I was hooked from the first chapter! (hide spoiler)]

Page 102, thru Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Seems like Nina and Marie are in the same house but different times? Why would her father build a house and never tell her anything? What is in the part of the house that Nina can't get into that it appears that Marie did? (hide spoiler)]

Page 194, thru Chapter 29. (view spoiler)[ Well I think both Maria and Nina are making some very bad decisions. Couldn't believe that Maria got away and then went right back to her apartment. Did she really think they were just going to let her get away. Gesh. Can't imagine how this is going to end. (hide spoiler)]

What a GREAT story. (view spoiler)[ I'm so happy that Nina, Joe and Joon-gi made it out of the ultimate escape room. Unfortunately, it sounds like the big bosses didn't get caught up in the sweep and are still playing the game. I did enjoy the ride and thought the story was well told. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha]

YAY!! I'm so glad you loved this one too!! (view spoiler)[ those rooms were so freaking scary - I can't even imagine keeping a straight thought while struggling to stay alive, let alone doing calculations! (hide spoiler)]
