About this Event

Join us at Hive Mind Books in Bushwick to celebrate the launch of The Silent Key, the brand new YA thriller by Kelsey Day.

A high-stakes YA thriller set in a virtual-reality paradise turned hellscape where two ex-best friends find out just how deep their animosity goes.

After the talk and Q&A, Kelsey will sign copies of their book.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Madison Pembroke, the most popular girl at Lincoln Academy, sends out invitations to her epic birthday party in the form of custom forged spiral keys. For that one night, a few lucky teens get to enter Ametrine, a virtual paradise that hosts the party of the year. And Madison’s hated ex-BFF, Bree Benson never receives a key. Until now. As the party games begin to turn provocative and violent, Bree finds that Ametrine might not be the decadent wonderland she was promised. Madison may have let Bree enter Ametrine, but she has no intention of ever letting her leave . . . A gripping story about how friends know each other the best, and ex–best friends know how to hurt each other the worst.
