Try Not to Die: In Brightside: an Interactive Adventure

Welcome to Brightside. A community to contain telepathic people. Once you enter your stay, it is permanent. You have choices to make choose wisely, and you may escape if not you die. Interactive read with many paths to take. Suspense filled, amazing characters.

This is the second interaction book in the Try Not to Die series and just as much fun as the first. I loved trying to find the best direction to escape Brightside. Many times, the deaths themselves were so interesting. Definitely happy there are 2 more books in the series

This reminded me of paperbacks from my childhood where you could choose your own adventure. It was so much easier with the paperbacks because you could turn to a page. In the Kindle version,you click a link. A couple times, I felt like the story jumped around and I double checked to make sure it sent me to the correct place. Either I messed up and my fat fingers clicked wrong, or the story was choppy.I regret that I didn't reading the first book of the series before I did this. The story itself, mindreaders, the strict town rules, and trying to escape is a very interesting storyline. When I lost my place ( I think by accidentally not clicking the link but instead turning a page), I resorted to reading the Survivor edition which was the full story at the end of not having to click links

Welp...A series called "Try Not To Die" lives up to its name. I must've killed off the characters, in this choose your own adventure style book, at least a dozen times. A town, Brightside, not like any other town. Telepathics galore. That's why they were all brought here...and now they are trying to escape. The Boots won't let that happen without a fight. Try to make the right decisions while escaping or never leave Brightside alive. This was a really fun story. Only downfall is that the choices are so close together, basis wise, that it is very easy to make the wrong choice. Also, my suggestion is to use 2 bookmarks for the book, because if you are like me, you are going to have to return to a page to remake your decisions.

Love this book

I love following Becky through different decisions. I died way more often in this TNTD book, which, I kinda love as well. This book and series in general has given me a lot of enjoyment. The action is fast-paced and at times, brutal. I also love the references to Ju Jitsu and MMA. I recommend this book to anyone looking to have a fun time figuring out how to survive, and see what happens if Becky can escape.

The main story is psychics or mind readers in particular are rounded up and put into their own town called Brightside. But it really is more of a containment town where there are high fences surrounding it and they are not allowed to leave.The story follows Rebecca who is 16 and hears about a breakout and is undecided whether to join them or not. In the meantime, there is a serial killer loose who tells her she is next.This is told in an interactive follow your own adventure method where you choose what path to follow. I was doing an audio of the book and this made it a little difficult because I like to just listen to the story. I found out when it ended that I could have avoided the choices and just started at chapter 55 to follow it straight. The book didn't give that choice in the beginning. I would have preferred to do this for an audio book.Otherwise the story was interesting but I kept getting taken out of the world when choosing a path.

This is a Horror with super natural (Mind Reading), and this is an interactive book. I enjoyed choosing different paths on the kindle edition, and I also listening to the whole book by going to the chapter they said to listening through. The narrator was really go, and I really enjoyed it. I think it will be hard to pick where to go because I normally listen to audiobooks while driving. So, I am happy there is away to just listen to the book straight through. I did not think it was super scary. The book made me want to keep reading. The ending was so good. I do think there was not a lot of character development, but I do not think that hurt the book. This book is plot driven not character driven. I won a kindle edition of this book from a goodreads giveaway. I was kindly provided an e-audiobook of this book by the publisher (Vincere Press) or author (Mark Tullius and Dawna Gonzales) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review about how I feel about this book, and I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.
