Rush pulls you headlong into the thrilling,
high-stakes world of Eve Silver's teen series The Game,
about teens pulled into and out of an alternate reality in
which battling aliens is more than a game—it's life and
death. This teen debut novel offers science fiction and
gaming fans romantic thrills at a breakneck
pace.
Seventeen-year-old Miki Jones's carefully
controlled life spirals into chaos after she's run down in
the street, left broken and bloody. She wakes up fully
healed in a place called the lobby—pulled from her life,
pulled through time and space into some kind of game in
which she and a team of other teens are sent on missions to
eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien
creatures.
There are no practice runs, no training,
and no way out. Miki has only the guidance of secretive but
maddeningly attractive team leader Jackson Tate, who says
that the game is more than that, and that what Miki and her
new teammates do now determines their survival and the
survival of every other person on this planet. She laughs.
He doesn't. And then the game takes a deadly and terrifying
turn.
I felt the same way about this book! I was glad that the love triangle wasn't the main part of the story, because I thought it seemed forced as well. Miki's best friend made me shake my head through every time she was in the story. I think with her being such by-the-book character, the author could change that and give her a healthy dose of character development in the next book to bring her to life. But all in all, I did end up loving this book. (Samantha R 8:04pm July 20, 2013)
