A gripping read! I started this book directly after I Hunt Killers (Jasper Dent 1) and I haven't been able to put it down. It has many twists and turns and is really interesting and easy to read. If you liked the first book you'll love this one!

Not quite as good as the first book, but pretty close. I like the change of setting and the mystery was really compelling. Even though I get why they did it, I'm never a huge fan of perspective shifts. The romance was my least favorite part of the whole book, I honestly could not care less about it. Any time it would focus on that, I just kept thinking how badly I wanted to go back to the mystery. I was really surprised by the reveal, and that cliffhanger was crazy!

I got to 200 pages and found myself not caring, I didn't have the want or need to pick up the book.
By reading other people's reviews, it sounds like it starts getting good. But I've already given the book a good go, and decided I'm giving up.
It could be my mood at the moment, because I remember really liking the first one. Oh well.

Game is the sequel to I hunt killers, a story about the son of the most infamous serial killer. I really loved I hunt killers because Jasper is such a refreshing character. Usually, in murder mysteries, you get the good guys vs. bad guys, but Jasper is like a lotus, with roots in the muddy water, but still emerges beautifully from it. Of course, with a major cliffhanger like this, it is really hard to judge the plot until reading the conclusion (which hopefully will be great) in the next book.
Although I gave it a 5 star (because I really love the premise and characters in this book), there are still some problems with the plot, in particular, the pacing. The beginning was too slow and dragged on a bit. The characters, Connie in particular, is too "dumb", not in terms of intelligence (actually, she probably is even smarter than Jasper in that area), it's more about her being reckless and not "think" before acting.
I am so glad I did not read this book when it first came out and waited so that I would not have to sustain the torture of not having the next book right away.

to my mind authors that end books at the apex of the plot with a cliffhanger so that you will be forced to read the next one are... well, nothing i want to write here. anyway, a good editor can help trim that book so that it can be combined with the next one into one book. really. of course, there were many other things about this book that a good editor can not fix.

I honestly thought it was a little bit predictable with the whole "game" but I did not see that last piece of information coming.

the ending didn't feel like an ending, but not in a typical cliffhanger fashion. it felt like pages were missing. I feel for how many pages there were the ending shouldn't have felt the way it did.

I was frustrated with the characters multiple bad decisions which landed them in predictable, dangerous situations. The ending, however, was anything but predictable. Cliffhangers like this are cruel to the reader. When is the sequel due to be published?

I liked this book more than the last one. The game aspect was really interesting and the ending had me excited to read the next. However, I don't love how the author had the main character speak about fat people.
