About the Book

It’s just a game… that someone would kill for.

When Jessie enters Tag, You’re It, she thinks she knows what she’s getting into. A sprawling, isolated mansion in beautiful countryside. Twenty contestants, all supposedly strangers. The rules seem simple…

Each day, one of you is ‘It’.
The person who is ‘It’ must complete a secret task to tag someone else.
Whoever ends the day as ‘It’ is out… and loses the chance to win millions.
But most importantly… Don’t. Trust. Anybody.

Jessie is certain friendships are key to getting through, even fake ones. Some people would do anything to win that money. But nobody knows that Jessie has her own secret reasons for playing the game…

Then one of the players is found dead. When the police arrive to ask their questions, how far will Jessie go to hide the truth about her past – and the real reason she’s there?

And in the end, is this game really worth killing for?

My Review

This is the second book that I’ve read by this author, and it was another really enjoyable. One of the things that this author does the best is comes up with unique settings and storylines. It’s so refreshing reading these books because of that! Most of the book is told in the slight past in that there are chapters where Jessie is being interviewed by a police officer in between the chapters that are about the game and what the contestants are experiencing.

I know that I say this a lot, but this book really is going to keep you guessing until the end. There was so many things that I didn’t catch onto, didn’t even think capable of happening, happening. What I mean is that the reveals really are shocking.

I assume that the author did this on purpose, but of course there are characters that you really like, some that you’re whatever about, and others that you don’t like at all. But in a game like this, it’s really hard to trust anyone.

If you like books with high stakes and thrills, check this one out!
