Would You Rather By Shannon Hollinger
A teacher, a student, a scandal.
Thursday morning, Oliver Sager is the popular quarterback of his high school football team. Thursday night, he’s the prime suspect in the disappearance of his history teacher, Mr. Lewis. In an instant, his life is turned upside down. But trying to convince the police he’s innocent is just the beginning of his problems.
As a deadly match of cat-and-mouse plays out, the only thing that’s clear is that everyone has something to hide, and before the game is over, more victims will be claimed. Three people know the truth about what happened between Oliver and Mr. Lewis—and one of them will pay.
An explosive thriller that packs a punch, with an ending that will leave you reeling.
Would You Rather By Shannon Hollinger
Based solely on the description, here’s my initial impression of “Would You Rather”:
Potential Pros:
- Intriguing Premise: The teacher-student scandal immediately raises red flags and sets the stage for a gripping mystery.
- Multiple Suspects: The presence of three potential culprits adds layers of intrigue and keeps the reader guessing.
- Fast-Paced Action: The description promises a “deadly match of cat-and-mouse” and a “punch-packing thriller,” suggesting a fast-paced and exciting read.
Potential Cons:
- Overused Trope: The teacher-student scandal, especially with the disappearance element, feels like a well-trodden plot device.
- Limited Character Details: The description focuses on the plot but doesn’t offer much insight into the characters’ personalities or motivations.
- Sensationalized Tone: The language used (“explosive,” “punching,” “reeling”) suggests a potentially melodramatic tone that might not appeal to all readers.
Overall:
“Would You Rather” has the potential to be an exciting and suspenseful thriller, especially for readers who enjoy stories with fast-paced action and multiple suspects.
