Description
When the real game begins, who will make it to the count of 10?
Close Your Eyes and Count to 10 invites you into a suspense-filled world crafted by Lisa Unger. Charismatic daredevil and extreme adventurer Maverick Dillan hosts the ultimate game of hide-and-seek, but as the players gather on Falcao Island, the event quickly spirals into something far more sinister than the social media stunt it was intended to be.
Enter Adele, a single mother with a fierce determination to protect her children at all costs. As she begins the game, she unwittingly enters a twisted web of deception and intrigue. Can she manoeuvre through the relentless competition and return home to her family?
In a ruthless battle for survival where the stakes are higher than ever, the blurred line between the virtual and the real proves that the only person we can trust is ourselves.
