Eve Duncan is back. And this time, she's the hunted one.

I'm quite disappointed with this book, to be honest. Too much... drama. And I think Eve just got more boring. While Joe Quinn is one overprotective, coddling and irritating guy.

I enjoy the chase, the action, the puzzle, the surprise towards the end. Everything else is just somewhat crappy and sloppy. The first book is much better.

Whoa... that ending!!!

I didn't think I'd end up saying this, but The Killing Game was definitely creepier - for me - than the first book in the Eve Duncan series. But again, very good, and very believable.

SpoilerAnd Eve and Joe!! D'awww... so adorable. ♥ Although the fact that Joe has been self-admittedly "obsessed" with Eve for 10 years is a little creepy... and his reason for marrying Diane was also a little creepy... but he seems like a good guy and like he's good for Eve and always has been.

And Jane!! Oh my gosh, I loved her.


Definitely recommend this series. :)

Apparently I've read this book 3 times and keep forgetting to mark it read over here.

As soon as I started, everything seemed familiar ... but I decided to keep on going. It's a very good story.

I've had this series on the back burner for a while now, and it's nice to finally get to it.

3.5 rounded up to 4. another good mystery; i do love a good psychopath! sometimes the dialogue gets a bit weary, and i can't say i'm super interested in the romance bit of the plotlines (i go to evanovich's stephanie plum series for the ridiculous love triangle guilty pleasure reading ;)), but i'll def keep reading this series! eve duncan's work is fascinating, hope for lots more detail regarding forensics in future books.

Me gustó mucho más que el primero. No me había atrapado demasiado y no me decidía si continuar leyendo los libros, por suerte lo hice y me encantó
