Synopsis:
When Ruby’s best friend sneaks out to meet a French boy while they’re on a school trip in Paris, Ruby goes after her. They end up going to at an exclusive party in the Paris catacombs, except they never make it to the party because they get lost.
Aboveground, Sean, Ruby’s friend and secret crush, rushes to find her and get authorities on board that something is wrong.
Can Sean work fast enough to save Ruby? Can Ruby survive in the caves of the catacombs when all seems lost?
Thoughts:
This book was made for audio! It was done with dual points of view. I loved how the two narrators brough Ruby and Sean to life and made me feel like I was immersed in the story with them. They made the story for me, and I truly think that I enjoyed this one so much more because I listened to it.
I love locked room mystery/thrillers. They are so much fun if done right, and that was the case here. This book was filled with so much suspense and angst, it really had me on the edge of my seat. It’s not often that a book keeps me so engaged that I conjure up ways to listen to it, but that was what happened here; I just needed to know what was happening! The setting was also wonderful and eerie. I felt like I was in the catacombs with Ruby and it was great.
