kronesse 's review for:

The God Game by Danny Tobey
5.0

“You are invited! Come inside and play with G.O.D. Bring your friends! It’s Fun! But remember the rules. Win and All Your Dreams Come True. Lose, You Die!”

The Vindicators a group of 5 high school students, Charlie, Peter, Alex, Kenny, Vanhi.
Just your average computer club until one day everything changes. The met G.O.D. Who gave them an invitation they couldn’t refuse. Play the game and all your dreams come true! Lose , You die! They think it’s just a hoax until things start looking up for them, more money and free stuff, however at what cost? When things start going bad can Charlie help the Vindicators make things right and leave the game...without dying in the process. I think Tobey did a good job of merging sci-fi with reality. If you are looking for a good thriller with a mix of lit rpg this book is for you. I loved the blending of the game with the real world and how they earned “Goldz or Blaxx” depending on if you were in G.O.D.s favor or not. I also liked that we were able to read from the point of view of all the main characters and even learn about those close to them, even their teachers. I loved how many twits and turns their were worth this book and was always reading on waiting for the next twist. The ending of the book left me wanting more and kind of hoping that a certain character would get his own novella in the future.

Thanks to the publisher for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review!
