It's a ridiculously simple concept but it delivers so well. The acting may not be the greatest but it feels believable, given that most of the action takes place within the confines of an elevator the growing feeling of dread, of distrust and fear spreads through the five trapped individuals.
Meanwhile, a cop tries to figure out who they are and why one of them didn't sign in.
Admittedly when watching I did figure out both of the final twists well in advance of the ending but they still feel satisfactory to the story been told.
I also like the short run time, doesn't feel like there is much wasted motion in the on screen action.

I really liked the story and if I wasn't so picky with giving 5 stars then this would probably have gotten 5 stars but as I am, I'm giving it a strong four.
I like how Lilou writes her romances. They're well thought out and developed so that although they are short you're left feeling all nice and warm that the couple got their HEA.
The first meeting between them was well written and I had shivers as I felt the connection between Faye and Quinn. That continued to the first sex scene and I was hooked from there.
I grew to like all the characters, apart from the bad guy of course.
Can't wait to read more books by the author!
