The Game by Linsey Miller
4.0
I've always thought that Assassin sounds like fun to play. I'd probably be a babbling mess by the end of the first day, but that's neither here nor there. It always sounds great, and Linsey uses it to full effect here.
The novel is short and fast paced, so we don't get to learn a lot about any of them, but they are interesting. I'm surprised at how many people in her school have double initial names! I also thought the villain was very quick to start monologuing, but that is a grand villain tradition. At first I thought the reveal was out of nowhere, but the more I thought about it, and with a couple of sneaky checks back, I realised it was signposted everywhere. That's excellent writing.
I really enjoyed this quick, tense read. Fantastic.
