This book had been on my radar for a few years--I know, a long time, right?--but I'd always put it off due to the price tag and the "do I really want to read it" question. So when I saw it on Scribd I thought let's try it.

I'm glad I did. It had a good build up throughout, both in relation to the Nastya and Josh thing and to Nastya's past. I really liked the relationship, though Nastya almost killed me when she pushed him away. The thing from her past felt a little flat for me, I expected more fireworks but I also understand why there weren't any.

A nice story overall.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review. The opinions are entirely my own, and any quotes are taken from the ARC and may be different in the final published copy.

The game is known by many names - Assassin, Tag, Human vs. Zombies. The ways to "kill" vary greatly - water gun, dart gun, steal a spoon, steal a rag, etc. The one constant is the concept of the game - people join a game in which someone is ordered to "kill" either a specific target or a different team. The winner is the one left standing.

The Game by Linsey Miller is a YA version of a 1982 movie, Tag: The Assininasion Game. In both, the game becomes deadly, when one of the players decides to "kill" the players in real life.

Miller moves the age group to High School seniors playing the yearly game before graduation. Lia has been following in her brother's shadow and knows Assassin is her opportunity to outshine her brother's record in the game. She has been planning this for years by following and gathering information about her classmates' schedules, hobbies, paths to school, etc. She makes the perfect fall guy for a killer who uses Lia's detailed notes to track down their targets.

Readers in middle school would enjoy the story. While enjoyable, the story felt short and would need "more" to attract older YA readers.

Resident Evil: another one?
After 2 great movies and a forgettable 3rd, alice is back to tell us her name is Alice, and she remembers everything (again)
In this 4th outing in the Resident Evil saga we see our survivor (ugh, what's her name again?) Find a group of survivors including chris Redfield who seems untrustworthy and locked in a cage (if a prison can't contain him, a cage won't) a returning claire Redfield and other forgettable badass characters.
This time trapped in a flooded building, that's surrounded by the dead and with time running out, Rick....I mean Alice will lead this rag tag group of survivors outta danger and into the unknown.
Still it helps us recover from Extinction...am I right?
