As passengers excitedly embark on a journey, the atmosphere is electric with the promise of new beginnings. However, when a terrifying threat surfaces, the stakes escalate dramatically, shifting from joyful anticipation to impending disaster.

As the story advances, the tension intensifies, revealing the moral complexities of sacrifice and loyalty.
In a masterful blend of suspense and emotion, the plight of the passengers becomes a journey through fear, courage, and the depths of human connection. Each twist and revelation unfolds against the backdrop of a locked-room scenario, where the choices to be made carry profound implications that linger long after the final page.

I did not like the ending. It kind of ruined the book for me.
