Hook:
Tonight, Tempest Theaters is closing forever, the last remaining business in a defunct shopping mall. The moviegoers have left, and Jo and her six coworkers have the final shift, cleaning up popcorn and mopping floors for the last time.
But after an unexpected altercation puts everyone on edge, the power goes out. Their manager disappears, along with the keys to the lobby doors and the theater safe, where the crew's phones are locked each shift. Then, the crew's tension turns to terror when Jo discovers the dead body of one of her co-workers.
Now their only chance to escape the murderer in their midst is through the dark, shuttered mall. With its boarded-up exits and disabled fire alarms, the complex is filled with hiding places for both pursuer and pursued. In order to survive this night, Jo and her friends must trust one another, navigate the sprawling ruins of the mall, and outwit a killer before he kills again.

I would recommend this book
Review: Okay. Yeah. I guess I can kinda get behind this book. Maybe it’s just because I read this book right after an awful thriller, but I do kinda like this. It’s a good October, thriller, mystery, type of book. This book got going really fast. I was worried it wouldn’t be interesting because it would just be murder after murder, but there were other aspects to it. The overall plot was good, it did keep me on the edge of my seat, but there was definitely room for improvement. I liked the main character, but some aspects of her were just too cliche. I guess I liked the ending….I wasn’t upset about it at least…. it was just okay. So, yeah. I know this review is kinda boring, but this book was just very vanilla to me. Did I love this book? No. Do I regret reading this book? Also no. I don’t know, I guess I don’t have anything else to say about it. I guess I would recommend this, just not very strongly.
