A Caller's Game by J.D. Barker

3.0

The bad guy calls into a radio talk show saying, "I'm going to offer you a choice." The host, Jordan, has no idea what this could be and treats it as a crank call. I did love her sassiness and her unwillingness to bend to what everyone wanted. However, when lives depend on your choice, you better listen. I was intrigued at the beginning of this book. The female narrator's for Jordan was wonderful. It suited the character perfectly. I could totally listen to her on a radio station any day of the week. Then there was the bad guy, the male narrator always had odd pauses while reading. It really bugged me as there seemed to be no rational pattern or cause for them that I could identify. After a while, the attacks became a little outlandish and on such a great scale that it made some things very implausible to pull off. I think the thing that made me not like the book was that Jordan should've been able to identify the bad guy immediately or at least hazard a guess. As the story progressed, this made me even madder. It just never seemed to go anywhere for me.

Thanks to Netgalley, J.D. Barker for my Hampton Creek Press for my copy in exchange for an honest review.
