martins press/wednesday books.Īdmittedly, most of Crystal Donavan's focus lately has been on the upcoming Mortal Dusk gaming tournament she will be competing in with her e-sports team. younger readers might find this fresh and engaging? So all in all, this was a miss for me personally, but i think thats largely because i know im not in the target demographic for this book. and maybe its just me in my old age wanting a more realistic thriller, because im sure teens will have an easier time overlooking this and getting into it (but only if they can get past the highly unlikable and completely unrelatable characters).
i mean, i knew it was going to be over-the-top based on the synopsis, but this is all kinds of absurd. but i have read them, so this felt pretty predictable and a little recycled to me.īut mainly, i just couldnt get on board with how ridiculous the story is. if you havent read these books, then you will probably find the plot of this exciting and jam-packed.
This story is ‘need’ by joelle charbonneau mixed with ‘the dead list’ by jennifer armentrout. Is someone trying to take her team out of the running for a gaming tournament? Or have they uncovered a secret from their past, and wants them to pay for what they did…Īs Crystal makes the impossible choices between her friends and her sister, she must uncover the truth and find a way to outplay the kidnapper… before it’s too late.Īuthor of All Your Twisted Secrets, Diana Urban’s explosive sophomore novel, These Deadly Games, will keep you riveted until the final twist is revealed.
