The Game by Linsey Miller

3.0

"You’re still in the game and there is a literal murderer running around."

Personal rating: 3.5/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lincoln High seniors get to play a game, a tradition for all seniors called Assassins. Lia Prince has been planning for a year before she and her friend, Gem decided to submit their names to play the game. Little do they know, people are going to get murdered for real.

I solely bought this book off of Amazon because of the synopsis inscribed in the description of the book. To be honest, I wish they would have written a different synopsis because you'll read like 70% of the book of the synopsis alone. I'm not mad at it though, but it would be nice to be given a little bit of suspense instead of knowing 70% of the book off of the synopsis.

Lia was very annoying, like any other teenager her age. Also, she's borderline stalker-ish? Who in the world would write around everyone's schedule in their journal? At the very least, make it digital so you won't look like a weird sociopath.

The premise is very good, not going to lie but I can figure out the killer 4% going into the book. The ending seems kind of hasty, though. I'm not surprised because 70% of the book has been described in the synopsis, which, made me feel slightly spoiled with the plot.

However, I do enjoy the writing more than I have anticipated. It was a fun read.
