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.

4.5

That was a great book ! It could have been a 5 stars but I wasn't as much in it as I was with the first of the series hence the 4.5 rating. I still love following Avery through her journey, I've got to say that I'm left disappointed with the romance in this book. What is going on with those two brothers?! Avery needs to chose, come on is it that hard to make a decision? On that point she's getting on my nerves.
Good plot with this family and good riddles, puzzles... I'm glad we got to have Max coming instead of just having her on the phone with her weird curse words.
Anyways, I would highly recommend this book and this series so far. Hopefully the next book will be as good.
