My 4th JD Barker book and my least favorite. It was okay - a little boring and slow. I just don’t think anything will ever top the 4MK series.

Oh man. Such a disappointment. Started ok and it just fell through. It got boring. Either the end is just poorly written or I just don't care enough to listen.

Tense and riveting this game is deadly.

I really had a hard time connecting with the main character. She was written one way but appeared another in lots of moments and only the other when it counted against her in the game. Consistency here was key and it was off the mark.

I rated this 4 stars and if I had someone I could connect with I would have been a mess reading this.

I like the cat and mouse chase here; trying to figure out where, when and how. I liked the twists a lot and couldn't trust anyone - I believed everyone was working for Bernie lol

I would recommend this to anyone who likes a thriller with a little heat and a lot of chase.

Very descriptive and great as far as action and describing the big moments.

All the different layers and tie-ins made the story more interesting. Quick-paced and poignant author's note at the end.
