Playground
by Aron Beauregard
I honestly don’t know how to rate this book. If you’re in it for the gore and horror, there’s plenty. VERY gory and a highly disturbing, not for the faint of heart. Check triggers and warnings.
The story line follows a few families chosen for a grand opportunity for some $$$, and all they have to do is allow their children to play on a new, state-of-the-art playground. However, it is actually a trap created by the evil Geraldine who’s main goal is to see these families suffer. So yes, the children play, but they play and must survive these gruesome, sick, twisted games to be able to see their parents again (parents who are being held captive and are forced to watch their children go through this nightmare).
Exactly like squid games but with kids.
Although this book was truly disturbing and thought some parts didn’t need to me included (cough chapter 6 and 7), it was like a car crash you couldn’t look away from.
Did I read the warnings prior to reading the book? Yes. Did I still hope they would be stopped before we lost anyone? Also yes.
The personalities of the characters remain persistent throughout the story with the exception of a few, and for those that changed they developed dramatically-for better or for worse, mostly worse.
Overall, while I don’t think I will read this again due to my weak stomach, I would recommend this to someone with guts of steel.
✨HAPPY READING✨
