Elicit

This is not just a story you read. It is a puzzle that solves you. Lena Marrow is a puzzle-obsessed librarian who finds comfort in the quiet, logical order of her world. But when a mysterious, leather-bound book appears at her library, she is drawn into the orbit of the enigmatic Reflective Enigma Society—a secret organization that uses riddles not as a game, but as a key to unlock the human mind. The games start as charming, candy-coated brainteasers and witty wordplay. But with each riddle Lena solves, the puzzles grow more personal, more intimate, their solutions revealing uncomfortable truths. They expose her deepest fears, her forgotten ambitions, and her most secret desires. The Society's charismatic and manipulative leader, Ezra, calls it Elicitation: the art of solving the puzzle to reveal the soul. And here is the trap: every puzzle is a mirror. As Lena makes a choice, you will feel the echo of your own. As she confronts a fear, you will be forced to glance at yours. This book doesn't just ask you to watch; it invites you to play. And in playing, you become part of the puzzle. A unique blend of "sweet horror" where jovial jumbles mask a creeping, psychological dread, Elicit is an interactive, cinematic puzzle-thriller that pulls the reader into its very pages. It is a story where every chapter is a new layer of the game, a new reflection in an inescapable hall of mirrors. They say the best puzzles are the ones that solve you. Are you ready to be solved?
