#Review – The Game by Shane Scollins

No matter where you are, they’ll find you, and put you in “The GAME”.

Candice Laguna’s life is being systematically dismantled, by an unknown force, for a reason she can’t imagine. But she is about to become the unwilling star of a reality game competition the likes of which has never been broadcast to the world.

Just when things get darkest, a mysterious man snatches her from the grips of doom. He is a man who is not what he seems, and not who he says. He has no name and his motivation to help Candice is not what it seems to be.

But his selfishness has good intentions, he just wants to know who he is and where he came from. And getting to the man orchestrating this reality game is the only way to find the truth.

THE GAME is a mystery/thriller with an unpredictable paranormal twist. It has action and adventure and plays up the everyday exploitation of reality television obsession gone wrong.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

3.5 stars ~ I picked this book up on a whim, it looked interesting and I thought I would give it a shot. It is a fairly quick read but I have some mixed feelings with the overall story. I almost wish that it was a little longer so that there was more background maybe…I am not sure.

I am going to try not to give too many spoilers here so bear with me. It started out really great. Girl gets identity stolen and is forced into this crazy underground reality game. There are other girls trapped in this game as well. As one can imagine, it doesn’t exactly end well. Girl is saved by guy. This is where is got a little wonky for me. Guy dies but body jumps and finds his way back to girl. They ultimately figure out why he is body jumping and go after the bad guy. But somewhere in there it just didn’t quite fit right or it was too fast, or something that I just can’t pinpoint. Ultimately, this does end on an HEA and seems like it could have a sequel so YAY!

Do I recommend this book? Yes. Would I read a sequel? Yes. I am intrigued 😊
