This book started off really well. The pre-story chapter got me hooked and wanting to know more.
However, when it got to the game part of the story, it started going downhill. I would say this is THE HUNGER GAMES style but without all the action and drama. Honestly, this could've been such a good book had there have been more action going on.
What was that ending though? I don't understand, I want to know what happened. Why end it so abruptly? It explains the reasoning behind everything which is fine, but then there's no real resolution. It's left for you to decide what happens next.
It's classed as horror, but it didn't feel like it had the elements of a horror.
It's quite a short book but it didn't deliver for me. I'd read the reviews beforehand but hoped that people were just being picky and that it wasn't as bad as they'd made it out to be.
Unfortunately this isn't a book that i'd be recommending.
