3.5 Stars
Let’s get a couple of things real clear. My reaction to mandatory “Team Building” within a company would look a little something like . . . .
And my general reaction to being forced to spend the minute it takes to get me up to my floor every morning in an elevator with even one other human attempting to speak to me is pretty much . . . .
Thus, the reasoning behind always having both a Kindle and physical book shield with me at all times . . . .
When I saw the tag line behind this book . . . .
“WELCOME TO THE ESCAPE ROOM. YOUR GOAL IS SIMPLE. GET OUT ALIVE.”
My initial reaction was . . . .
What I wasn’t aware of was this was going to be a little deeper than a B-quality horror. Not only does the reader get to hear about the present where Vincent, Jules, Sylvie and Sam are stuck in the “escape room,” but they also get the tale of Sara Hall and the company’s history. A little slashery – a little The Firm, this was a pretty good time. Unfortunately, my company was undergoing a complete system overhaul that left me a little braindead by the time I had a chance for some reading. I’m rounding my 3.5 Stars up due to that fact because I think any other week this may have been a full 4 Stars for me.
