About Lucky Secrets:
College student Sara Donovan is in the homestretch of graduating when a mysterious
package arrives with an invitation to an exclusive contest. One that will drastically
change the winner’s life. Included are unsettling photographs from forgettable chapters
in her life and a threatening note strongly suggesting she participate.
With no good options, Sara enters the contest and finds herself at a fabulous mansion
up against eight formidable opponents, each with a dark secret and all racing to solve
seven levels of riddles and puzzles.
After a contestant’s body is discovered, Sara contemplates dropping out when another
package arrives, its chilling contents making clear she’s at the center of a dangerous
game with deadly consequences if she quits. But what it doesn’t say is—what happens if
she wins?
