About This Book
In the small town of Redwood Falls, twelve jurors gather to decide the fate of a young man accused of murdering a beloved local teacher. The evidence seems clear and the verdict all but certain — until the deliberation room becomes something else entirely. As the doors close, Emily and her fellow jurors find themselves trapped in a waking nightmare of dreams, visions, and a cold, disembodied voice that seems to know their every secret. The line between deliberation and damnation blurs, and Emily comes to realize the trial was never really about the accused. To escape, they must survive a game none of them agreed to play — one where the verdict was never meant to be theirs to give.
Editorial Review
“Rivers takes the locked-room jury thriller and drops it through a trapdoor into nightmare. The dread builds relentlessly, the twists genuinely unsettle, and Emily is a heroine you desperately want to see walk out of that room.”
Perfect for: Readers who love psychological thrillers with a supernatural edge, claustrophobic tension, and a twist that lingers.

This book had me hooked from the first page! The story unravels with unexpected twists and a layered mystery that kept me guessing until the end. The characters are complex, and the courtroom drama is intense without feeling overdone. What sets it apart is how it delves into the psychological weight of being on a jury and the moral dilemmas that come with it. If you love crime novels that make you think, this one's for you. Couldn't put it down!
I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Each chapter was like its own little story building on itself until the climax. I highly recommend this.
