Dark Room Etiquette - Paperback

by Robin Roe (Author)

We Were Liars meets Room in this masterfully plotted psychological thriller from the critically acclaimed author of A List of Cages, Robin Roe.

SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD SAYERS WAYTE HAS EVERYTHING.

Popularity, good looks, perfect grades--there's nothing Sayers' family money can't buy.

Until he's kidnapped by a man who tells him the privileged life he's been living is based on a lie.

Trapped in a windowless room, without knowing why he's been taken or how long the man plans to keep him shut away, Sayers faces a terrifying new reality. To survive, he must forget the world he once knew, and play the part his abductor has created for him.

But as time passes, the line between fact and fiction starts to blur, and Sayers begins to wonder if he can escape . . . before he loses himself.

• Psychological Manipulation: His captor insists Sayers' entire privileged life is a lie, and that his real name is Daniel. To stay alive, he must play along.
• Gaslighting: In the confines of a single room, the truth begins to warp. Sayers starts to question his own memories, his family, and even his own identity.
• Dark YA Thriller: Perfect for fans of Room and We Were Liars, this is a gripping story of survival that will keep you guessing until the final page.
• Twisted Plot: As Sayers struggles to hold onto reality, he uncovers a story far more complex and terrifying than a simple kidnapping, forcing him to ask if escape is even possible.
