Bad Games by Jeff Menapace
2.0
I am thanking the universe that this book was a relatively quick read because I had to finish it for my readathon (yes, another readathon). The only reason I am giving it 2 stars and not 1 is because "Bad Games" started out pretty good. The family going on vacation, mom, dad, and two kids. Then they get approached by a weird dude at a gas station. This is where I hit the first bump in the road. I don't care what some stranger would tell me if we went to the same college, but I sure as shit wouldn't have told him my entire plans for the week and let him pay for gas. I mean, honestly, who does that?
Coincidentally this stranger is a serial killer who, with the help of his brother, likes to kidnap people for fun. No other reason than that. They had a good home, but they like to abduct people and torture them because it makes them laugh.
Yeah, I don't think so, friends.
The husband is a complete moron and had he listened to his wife in the first place, they wouldn't have gotten abducted but would have gone home.
In the end, it was all foreseeable, anti-climatic, and frankly not a series I would ever continue.
