Unlike anything I've ever read and surely not my typical genre. Kept hearing wonderful things about his title though so I just had to dive in and see what all the hype was about.

A group of teenage outcast friends known as The Vindicators are drawn into what seems to be a perfectly innocent video game at first until it becomes clear that what happens in the game, translates to real life. G.O.D., as it's known, starts to require more dangerous tasks to advance and things start to get highly questionable and flat out scary for this group. Every task seemed like a bigger test of morality... This was a thrilling and highly addictive read and I can't help but feel the comparison between the obsession with the game and our society's current social media/technology obsessions.
