I don't know about you guys, but my expectations for this book were more along the lines of ‘‘Crap goes wrong, people start getting picked off one by one in the game.''
Let's start with this, the first half the book I'm wondering when these pranks are going to be done and we get to the terrorizing murders. At some point I actually gave up thinking it would get to that, maybe the synopsis was way off?
We get to the ‘accidents' and actual scary things start happening (I don't mean horror, I mean things that I waited the freaking whole book for).
We're constantly bouncing back and forth between who's the more messed up person in this whole game (and honestly, they seem to all be a little messed up).
And... What the actual crap was those last few chapters? Granted I did not even think of that person as being the attempted murderer, but their reasons? What?
And that's just the plot, I really didn't care for a single one of the characters.
Now that is the negative, so why did I rate it 3 stars?
I'm going for a 2.5 star rating for this one. I had expectations, it did not meet them- but the mystery and suspense were enough to keep me going.
And don't even get me started on the romance issues.
