Close Your Eyes and Count to 10

Close Your Eyes and Count to 10 by Lisa Unger is a gripping psychological thriller that transforms a daring social media stunt into a deadly game of survival. When thrill-seeker Maverick Dillan launches an extreme hide-and-seek challenge on a remote island, the contestants expect fame and adventure—but a violent storm and a lurking killer turn the event into a nightmare. Among them is Adele, a determined single mother who finds herself caught in a dangerous web of lies, betrayal, and fear as she fights to make it home to her children. Blending suspense, psychological tension, and sharp social commentary on digital culture, Unger delivers a fast-paced, twist-filled story about survival, trust, and the darkness hidden behind the thrill of the game.
