I wasn't expecting it to get as dark as it did, but it definitely made sense for the context of the story. Is the moral of the story seems to be "go off with the teenager who assassinates someone to get revenge for you.

Now twenty-three years old, she and her fellow Naturals have taken over running the program that taught them everything they know.They are given a walkie talkie and are given a short amount of time to come up with the answer to a secret or they will be killed.

The resolution of the entire mystery is over the top and wild, which isn’t a deal breaker for me, but here it felt as if the author was attempting to reach a more adult audience while writing a YA novel, and it just clashed. There’s something special about a book where you can’t guess what is going to happen and that is EXACTLY Five Survive. The sniper might be after one particular nugget of information but there are other secrets that threaten to tear the group apart too.It's also super weird that Jackson names the mafia family Gotti, after the most famous New York crime boss, when the characters are from Philadelphia, which has its own notorious crime families.
