Her friends seem like a tight group until we get more into the story and we see where the problems are between them. She seemed like she was super-focused on making the team for the tournament, but with good reason (to help her family) but she wasn’t someone I’d say is likable. I read it one sitting.Ĭharacter wise, Crystal isn’t someone I came to care for also, she has secrets. I like that I was kept on my toes, even though my suspicions were right. My lists of suspects were pretty spot on but the twist in the end wasn’t something I saw. The more tasks she does the less control she has over this “game” even though she thinks she can beat the kidnapper at their own game. And it’s a choice between saving her sister or hurting her friends. Now let’s talk about the the things this kidnapper is making Crystal do – it’s tasks meant to hurt or kill her best friends! Craziness. On top of her anxiety of trying to be part of the team, Crystal’s sister has been kidnapped and the person who supposedly makes her do all these crazy things in order to get her sister back safe and sound. Getting to the end was a wild ride!Ĭrystal and her friends are gamers trying to enter a tournament with a big money prize, so the stakes are high and it seems not everyone in their group is playing fair. This one kept me on my toes even though I suspected the right people from the beginning but that doesn’t mean this was totally predictable.
