I enjoyed reading. Scarlett and Julian are great together and I Iiked the way Scarlett got more and more courageous. The game itself was not what I expected. It felt dark, twisted and dangerous, but that might be because you experience it through Scarlett's eyes and she is almost constantly scared, worried or full of doubt.
The way the book dealt with suicide and death didn't sit right with me. Scarlett's sister Tella was like: "I am gonna kill myself, but you just have to love me enough to bring me back..." Please No!
