These Deadly Games by Diana Urban
5.0
Diana Urban's These Deadly Games had me hooked from the very first page! Urban doesn't "dawdle" at any point in this story -- the thrills hit quick and the pace moves fast with every page.
Crystal Donovan and her friends have quite the competitive eSports team and are preparing for an upcoming tournament that could win them a lot of money, money that each person desperately needs. But when Crystal starts getting strange messages from someone who has kidnapped and is threatening her little sister, the gaming becomes all to real. As the kidnapper sends riddle after riddle, along with threatening messages and videos of her sister crying, Crystal finds herself desperate, alone, and terrified with every phone notification. Each riddle brings ill-fated consequences that not only shock Crystal but will shock readers, as well. I couldn't stop turning pages, and I told every reader I know about this book! I have already purchased a copy to put in my high school library collection, and I can't wait to tell my students about it.
