The Player by Nikki J. Summers

4.0

When Will and Bryony have a run in with The Taskmaster, will they play the game? Will they work together or will their differences lead them to failure and game over? The Taskmaster set out to seek revenge on the men who had hurt him in the past. The question is, what does that have to do with Bryony and Will? Are they just pawns in his game or is it more than that?

Bryony is an independent, bad biyatch! Will is a bad boy who is part of a vigilante group that sometimes gets him into trouble. I expected the standard enemies-to-lovers situation here but was so happy to find that was not the case. This book is twisted, depraved, and dark. I wasn't sure what to expect as this is the first book I have read by the author. I was pleasantly surprised!

This story is very well-written and descriptive. It does deal with some heavy themes so I always suggest reading the TWs first! This thriller/mystery has the right amount of thick plot with a nice little dash of spice. It’s great!
