I really enjoyed it, there were times when the writing was extremely juvenile, and the message was too on the nose. Outside of that I thought that the writing was very descriptive and immersive. I was able to picture everything in my head as I was reading as if I was actually there which was really cool, but equally terrifying at times... *shudders* will never forget those damn dolls. I also think the ending was a giant cop out. The whole premise is us getting to read about who is going to win this wager, Love or Death and in the end neither of them even wins because "the game is still on going" which is kind of bullshit and is not an ending. Therefore my rating is a mere 4 out of 5.
