Secrets, schemes, and a game you can’t escape—Barnes raises the stakes yet again.

The second installment of Avery’s high-stakes adventures takes us to an island brimming with secrets—the very same island that has already claimed both lives and legends. This time, the game cuts deeper into the players’ motives, revealing the “why” behind each move. Along the way, we meet surly benefactors, endure a tense kidnapping, and navigate an ever-twisting maze of puzzles and betrayals. The reveals are jaw-dropping, the strategies are razor-sharp, and the endgame? You won’t believe who wins—or why. Jennifer Lynn Barnes delivers another addictive ride that somehow tops the first, and now I’m counting down the days until book three drops. ★★★★★

I just felt bored with it, I liked the original series with the other characters, and I forgot who these people were and the situation coming back a year later
The last book should have finished the game, now it all just feels messy and the writing doesn’t seem as good anymore
