Try Not to Die: At Meadow Spire Mall

An Interactive Adventure

De: P.W. Feutz

Narrado por: Andrea Emmes

Valentine’s Day. 1998. One mall. No escape.

Quinn Carpenter thought heartbreak was the worst thing that could happen to her. Humiliated in front of her entire high school, she’s ready to disappear forever. But her best friend Kirsten has other ideas—dragging Quinn to the buzzing Meadowspire Mall for a little retail therapy and revenge.

But there's something far worse than teenage drama waiting beneath the surface.

A violent February storm has trapped them inside. The lights flicker. The crowd thins. And something ancient, hidden deep beneath the mall for decades, is ready to rise again.

Will Quinn survive the horrors of Meadowspire Mall—or become just another Valentine’s Day tragedy?

This audiobook includes two terrifying formats:

Interactive Edition: YOU control the story. Make Quinn’s decisions and face the deadly consequences. With over two dozen brutal deaths and only one true path to survival, every choice could be your last.

Survivor Edition: Prefer to sit back and listen? This version follows the one true path to survival—no decisions required.

Perfect for fans of Goosebumps®, Stranger Things, and Choose Your Own Adventure®, this heart-pounding horror is loaded with friendship, fear, and deadly twists.

Press play—if you dare.

Dim Mall Adventure

Vague horrors with a lot of drama and banter; more an adventure than a scare. I found it's text to be too chatty with long flashbacks to stuff like a prank and the social ripples of that when there are potentially more interesting horrors that end up sidelined. The scares here feel scattered, lacking a lot of continuity (on one hand anything could happen on the other it's maybe too tame). There are hints of nostalgia here often name dropping mall giants of old but it doesnt feel very evocative of a time past (or even modern malling) and I thought fell a little flat. The mall and threat here don't offer a lot of variety so it feels a bit samey. It's written in a human focused style; sort of like 'friend a did this, friend b did that, there was a something in the shadow; which friend do I prefer... but then came a scream from Suncoast and we found evidence of monsters so should we go upstairs or downstairs (repeat).' Surviving choices are a bloated 20-30 minutes long between the next option and it doesnt feel like the plot advances too much (is my friend here or should I access an area). The narrator has a female vibe that fits the girl crew here but her voice feels too nasaly and monotone for my taste. There are 53 total chapters here each representing an option of 2-3 branching choices. It picks up more at the end.

Thrilling

Try Not to Die: At Meadow Spire Mall by P. W. Feutz is an amazing thriller. Andrea Emmes did an amazing job with the narration. The story is interesting, entertaining, thrilling, suspenseful, dramatic, exciting, action packed, horrifying, and more. If you like goosebumps, or other stories like that you will like this. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I really like these books!

The try not to die books are alot of fun. P.W.Feutz created good characters and Mark Tullius does interesting and unpredictable death scenes. He's certainly not predictable. I don't want to give away spoilers but it's a good book.
