Win and All Your Dreams Come True ! ;)
Charlie and his friends have entered the God Game.
Tasks are delivered through their phones. When they accomplish a mission, the game rewards them. Charlie's money problems could be over. Vanhi can erase the one bad grade on her university application. It's all fun and games - at first.
Then the threatening messages start.
Obey me.
Mysterious packages show up at their homes. Shadowy figures start following them. Who else is playing this game, and how far will they go to win?
As Charlie looks for a way out, there's only one rule he knows for sure.
If you die in the game, you die for real.
Solid YA "fantasy"! Similar to Ready Player One except this is set in our current time. I enjoyed the characters and their individual struggles. Although they wanted to be a team, calling themselves The Vindicators, they each had unique problems. I felt this was a fairly unique twist to gaming, alternate reality, visions. The religion and philosophy brought interesting discussion that is not often seen in YA books. Overall I do recommend this book, ages 13+ for language. Even for it's length, it's quite the page turner. And the conclusion is fantastic! I would definitely read a sequel.
The God Game written by Danny Tobey blends excellent character writing with thriller elements that keep the reader intrigued. I highly recommend this book for every reader regardless of the genre you prefer. I promise you will be left with raw emotions and some needed time to digest all you have experienced playing The God Game.
