What would you kill for?
The New York Times bestselling author of Night Film spins a twisted web in this masterful YA psychological thriller about the dark legacy of a notorious games designer.
A seemingly ordinary high school student. A mysterious summer internship. And a legendary games designer, now dead.
When an ad for an internship with the Louisiana Veda Foundation appears, Arcadia 'Dia' Gannon rushes to apply. Veda's game-making empire, Darkly, was renowned for its ingenious and terrifying games back in the day and Dia is as obsessed with them as anyone.
The remaining games are priced like highly sought-after works of art, with the rarest and most notorious commanding tens of millions of dollars at auction. Now, Dia is thrust into the enigmatic heart of the operation. But who are these other interns? Why do they all seem to have something to hide? And why was she really chosen? It soon becomes clear that this summer will be the most twisted Darkly game of all.
Review
Nobody really knows all the secrets of the world of Darkly. An enticing adventure awaits the lucky seven young adults selected to solve the mystery, but who knows just what that mystery might reveal! Pessl has created a world where friendship, truth, loyalty and trust may not be as they straightforward as they should be. The complex plot weaves the seven interns in a heart-stopping adventure filled with challenges and terrors whilst competing for their chance to solve the puzzle. Even the reader must try to untangle who is not who they seem. Everyone has secrets. This psychological thriller compels the reader to follow the captivating storylines which lead to a satisfying twist. Highly recommended! -- Chris, QLD ― Better ReadingAbout the Author
