Not the wildest mystery I've ever read, but the writing was good, and I enjoyed reading it overall.
The story unravels across three different timelines that do come together eventually, but it takes a while, and unfortunately, that slows the pacing down considerably. Some of the twists were pretty easy to see coming as well. I did really like the protagonist—she didn't go out of her way to run headlong into danger, and made some smart choices along the way that saved me the frustration of having to yell, "why would you do this?!" The last 20% goes by very fast, and that's the part where it (finally) starts to feel thrilling.

Overall, though, I really liked Games For Dead Girls. The atmosphere was just the right amount of creepy, the plot was engaging, and the characters were fun to read despite their pitfalls in the end.

It took me about 50 pages to get into it due to the slow start but after the 50 page mark I was completely immersed! I finished in two days, staying up late and not wanting to put it down.
