High school seniors, Amber, Priya, Sasha, Robbie, Diego, and Scott were all excited to be invited to a scholarship awards dinner. It was the ultimate culmination of all of their hard work during the school year. And the award was more than generous at $20,000 per student. But upon arrival at the restaurant, they all become painfully aware that the invitation was just a ruse. Instead of a celebration, they find themselves locked in a room with little or no chance for escape. And they have just one hour to select a person to die or they all die.

All Your Twisted Secrets is the first novel from author, Urban, but it’s the third one that I’ve read. And so far, all of them have been suspenseful thrillers.

The story unfolds over dual timelines through the lens of Amber Prescott, one of the main characters. The narrative works very well through Amber’s eyes, especially since she’s the driving force behind the scenes.

The plot follows a locked room/escape room trope. But it is full of plot twists triggered by the past histories of all the characters. With each character revealing secrets that surprised me as the story moved forward.

I enjoyed spending time with all of the characters. Each of them were fully developed, demonstrating the adeptness of Urban’s character building skills. They all had different personalities and I found myself hating some of them, and wanting to throttle some sense into others.

Overall, All Your Twisted Secrets did not disappoint. It’s full of suspense, plot twists, and more. Five outstanding stars.
