Wicked Games by Izzy Ravas
dark
medium-paced
3.0
The Hills Have Eyes...but in the bayou? Sold!! These are exactly the vibes I expect from my horror & thriller books, and they were on point in Wicked Games, down to the Cajun accents Wilder and Ollie had. That was undoubtedly my favourite part of the book, the rest left a little to be desired.
So, this is a novella, but I wanted Marlowe to be more than just a cardboard cutout of a character, she went with the flow a little too much, let the twins get away with some things they shouldn't havelike killing her brother , and it was hard to connect to her.
The twins I liked to an extent, I would've liked them better had they onlykilled the stepmother without assaulting her . But I would say they're more fleshed out as characters than Marlowe is.
Plot wise, there isn't much going on, but the ending does leave room for a possible continuation. I know there's a Christmas novella out, and I might give it a try to see how the story ends (or continues) aaaand also to read about a pet alligator.
