Win or Die: A gripping and unputdownable crime thriller

By Darren O'Sullivan

One week. Nineteen thousand pounds. A dangerous game. Can she win or will she die?

Since their parents died, Cassie and Sam only have each other. And now Sam is in trouble.

Sam has got involved with the wrong guys and he owes them money. When he is found beaten and bloody, Cassie knows these people will stop at nothing.

Sam has one week to find nineteen thousand pounds.

There's only one way to make that much money that fast: DareMe - a new social media craze that is sweeping the nation, where players film themselves completing reckless dares for money.

The only way Cassie can help Sam is to join the game.

But the deeper Cassie gets into the dares, the more dangerous they become.

Soon, Cassie isn't just playing for money, she's playing for her life.

A breathless, nail-biting thriller, perfect for fans of John Marrs, Blake Crouch, Squid Game and Black Mirror.

Thrilling story!

This book did remind me of the movie Nerve, but I liked Cassie since she was only doing the Dare Me app because she was trying to help her brother get out of debt from some very shady bad guys who are willing to kill to get their point across and keep their vile plan working. That is a very strong family bond and helps Cassie to be brave, even foolish, to get the money before the deadline. Very high stakes indeed and as more is revealed it really amps up the suspense with how there is no one really that she can depend on for help (except for a couple really decent guys) because it is all connected . This book also drives home the point that apps can dehumanize people and make others just see the game and the money, not that a real person's life is on the line or that they may be culpable for murder and other crimes, that in the spur of the moment seem fun and a quick way to become famous and get cash. So, one amazing thrilling pretty much need to read it one sitting and there better be a sequel after that what the heck ending! I really loved it and still shouted with how horrible people can be if money is involved and being anonymous.
