A bomb, some poison...what could go wrong?

All Your Twisted Secrets by Diana Urban: This thriller was a page-turner. 6 teens are invited to a fancy dinner and arrive to find out that it was just a ploy to lock them in a room with a timed bomb, a syringe with poison, and a note saying that they have to pick someone to kill so the rest can stay alive. The ending was not what I expected, and I loved seeing the way the stories of all 6 kids unraveled throughout the book. I especially related to main character Amber and her ambition to study music post

high school.
