Lie or Die by A.J. Clack

Ten strangers trapped in a television studio

Forty-two remote cameras

One rule: Trust no one

When a casting call is announced for new reality TV show Lie or Die, Kass is tricked into auditioning by her best friend. Big Brother meets Mafia, Lie or Die pits contestants against each other as they try to discover who is a murderous agent and who is an innocent player. But when contestants start to turn up dead (the real kind, not the fake kind), Kass realizes that not being eliminated and winning the game is the least of her worries. No longer a game of truth and lies, Kass and her friends are in a terrifying fight for survival.

‘Reality’ just got very real.

For younger teen readers wanting a Traitoresque read, look no further...

Budding makeover influencer Tulip, 15, finds herself ditching her phone and make-up to reluctantly take part in a reality TV show set in the Scottish Highlands and escape her mother’s money-making schemes. Can she prove to the annoying but rather gorgeous new boy at her school that she has the brains and survival skills to survive in the great outdoors?
