The Escape Room by Megan Goldin

Thank you St.Martin's Press and Netgalley for a copy of the eARC in exchange for fair review. This starts off with a security guard alone on a weekend shift noticing something strange is going on in the building. At first he things he is imagining things, but when he hears gunshots he calls 911. When the police arrive they think he has gone crazy, until the elevator starts coming down. When it opens none of them are prepared for what follows. Told from alternating viewpoints and with one being told from the past moving towards the present. We slowly learn about Vincent and his team and the Friday evening they all come together in the elevator to go to the Escape Room. They think this is a simple team building event until the message says you have one simple goal to get out alive. I am going to leave it that vague, I will say it took me awhile to figure it out. This isn't your normal thriller. To some degree from the first chapter you know that things don't quite end
