You and your brother are trapped in a mountain compound full of zealots who worship strange gods, and the only way out runs through lies, manipulation, and blood.

Deep in the mountains, a secluded compound holds you and your brother among zealots who worship strange gods and enforce obedience through fear, pain, and ritual. The only way out is a maze of lies, manipulation, and blood.

Every choice could lead to freedom or to one of a dozen brutal deaths. Every step forward peels back another secret about the cult's leaders, their dark "miracles," and the twisted faith that binds their followers.

As the walls close in, trust becomes a weapon, hope becomes a trap, and faith becomes the deadliest threat of all. Outwit the fanatics before they offer you up, or become one more believer swallowed by the dark.

Perfect for fans of interactive horror, gamebooks, and pick-your-path adventures, where every choice could be your last.

Written with Angel Van Atta. One path to escape. Many ways to die. No one you can trust. Book 15 in the Try Not to Die series.

HOW THIS INTERACTIVE AUDIOBOOK WORKS:

This is a Try Not to Die adventure, so you don't just listen, you decide. At each turning point the narrator lays out your choices, and each one sends you to a different chapter. Use your audio player's chapter list to jump to the chapter you pick, then keep listening from there. Every path unfolds differently, and most end in a quick, grisly death. Choose well, then listen again to experience every possible outcome.

A NOTE ON SAFETY: Because you'll be navigating between chapters as you listen, please don't play this one while driving or operating machinery. Save it for when your hands and full attention are free.

PREFER THE STORY STRAIGHT THROUGH? Look for the Survivor Edition, a start-to-finish recording that follows one complete path with no chapter-jumping required.

No one writes emotionally challenging situations like Angel Van Atta, so I was ready to go on this journey. What I was not ready for, was how difficult the choices were going to be and how brutal the ways in which I was going to die by choosing which path to take.

This was the most difficult of the TNTD books I’ve read so far, but I loved it because of that. I was literally torn apart whenever I had to make a decision, even more so because of the emotional charge behind the story. Not only that, but there are some seriously creepy scenes!

As I listened to this in audiobook format, I didn’t know how the “Choose Your Own Adventure” style was going to work, but I have to say that it was a great experience, and the narration by Andrea Emmes was likewise.

If you want to have a different listening experience trying to escape a cult, then this is the one.

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

Great experience with some very creepy scenes!

Same as other parts of the series, the choice options need a second split, even 3rd before conclision. Compared to other entries from the series the story of this book is well tought, lets you gradually learn the setting but also being engaged in the action. Well balanced revealing of the setting and well balanced action with relatable action decisions. Some of the death scenes are a bit over the top describing teenagers as very fragile and easy to get hurt.

The only shortfall comes by how short the story is. I would not spend audible credit for this book.

Very short
