Henrik "HP" Pettersson is bored. After the adrenaline rush
of playing The Game, he's now living a hedonistic lifestyle
while trying to remain incognito. After all, any notice of
HP on the grid will bring him right back to the attention of
the Game Master and pull him once again into the middle of a
live video game where HP has become the target.
Unfortunately, HP seems to be a magnet for trouble and a
quick fling soon turns into a mess that could cost HP
everything.
BUZZ: A THRILLER is the second book in a thrilling tale of
suspense where nothing is as it seems... or is it? Anders
de
la Motte ingeniously crafts an overview of the events from
the first book, Game: A Thriller, that enables a new reader
to jump right into the series while adding another layer of
intrigue to those already familiar with GAME: A THRILLER. I
love how Anders de la Motte takes the theme of the Game and
continues to add depth to it. If you haven't read the first
book, I would suggest reading it if only so that you can get
a grasp of just how clever the entire concept is for this
series.
HP is a likable loser (although it takes a while to warm up
to him in the first book). Even when he tries to do
something right, things just go wrong for him. His sister,
Rebecca Normén, has been a paradox from the start of the
series but we are beginning to see some of her inner demons
emerge. One of the things that is so unique about this
series is that the characters are not as important as how
the Game affects them and their subsequent behaviors. In
BUZZ: A THRILLER, we see a lot of the longer term effects on
HP as he continues to question what is real and what is
being forced into reality by the requests of the Game
Master. The ending is nothing short of brilliant!
BUZZ: A THRILLER is another stunning thriller from the
clever mind of Anders de la Motte. The Game is a clever
psychological experiment but the facts we uncover in BUZZ: A
THRILLER are nothing short of mind-blowing, and all the more
fascinating and scary because they sound plausible. I cannot
wait to see what devious plans Anders de la Motte has in
store for us in the third book, BUBBLE: A THRILLER. BUZZ: A
THRILLER is highly recommended!
Murder is such a buzz kill. . . .
It’s been four months since HP Pettersson was dragged into a
ruthless Alternate Reality Game that nearly cost him his
life. Although he now has everything he ever wished for—
freedom, money, and no responsibilities—he isn’t satisfied.
He’s plagued by insomnia and paranoia, and misses the
adrenaline rush of the Game. He misses the attention. At
times, he even hopes the Game Master will find him. And when
HP catches the eye of a rich and powerful CEO for all the
wrong reasons, he may get his wish. But he quickly learns
that sometimes, you have to be careful what you wish for . .
