life-changing day together after Death-Cast make their first
fateful calls. 'If They Both Die at the End broke your heart and

much love as its predecessor.' Culturefly '[A] heart-pounding story
[full] of emotion and suspense.' Kirkus 'An extraordinary book with
a riveting plot.' Booklist Meet Orion and Valentino. It's the night
before Death-Cast goes live, and there's one question on everyone's

he's going to die, given his serious heart condition. Valentino
Prince has a long and promising future ahead of him and only
registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a
