This Might be my favorite book out of the entire series. Also, even though I am team Jameson, I have to admit Avery and Grayson are cute. 🙂

4.0

New mysteries, higher and more dangerous stakes, more players, many who are objecting to the game, and more shitty money-seekers in the woodwork. And more secrets, of course. 

Honestly, more like the stakes and tensions I expected of book 1 from the blurb. 

Bots are still pretty 1D and interchangeable, but whatever.

The writing is a bit juvenile, even though I love YA. It’s difficult to buy into this world, but I found the romance to be the most engaging part of this story. I liked where the mystery went, whereas the previous installment of this series I didn’t care for the puzzle.

It's definitely more active than the first book, the connections between the characters is explored a lot more and I absolutely love that! My favorite part is "I'm not a bad man" after what he did and planned to do LMFAO it was so funny
