I didn't do quite as well as I'd hoped with #8intwo but I did finish Ace of Shades and read about 200 pages of The Dying Game by Asa Avdic, which is really fast-paced and great so far.
What a great read! This was an incredibly clever âwho dunnitâ - ish novel. It‘s set in the distant future and plays around with the idea of a post apocalyptic authoritarian state, but the entire plot could easily be transposed to any era. Great beach read/page turner. 4/5
#TBRtemptation post 5! Great embossed cover. The Most Dangerous Game meets 1984. A locked-room mystery set in an Orwellian future. 2037, the island of Isola, 7 people compete for a top-secret intelligence position with the Union of Friendship. Anna is the test--she fakes her death & watches the other 6 to see how they react to a killer in their midst. But a storm rolls in, the power goes off, & the real game begins. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ð
Perfect morning for reading outside!
This came out on Tuesday. Anyone heard anything about it? I'm intrigued by the premise.

If you're looking for a novel that combines the best elements of The Most Dangerous Game and 1984, check out The Dying Game. You can't trust any of the characters and no situation is quite as it seems. But the creepiest part of the book is that you're never sure what the characters know, and there's a good chance that someone is always watching/controlling them. The mystery builds at a steady pace and the ending was almost a surprise.
I felt like this could have been so great, but it kind of fell short for me. I didn't feel like it was well developed and the plot had some pacing issues
Based on the concept of 'And Then There Were None' with a distinct style of its own. Very smartly written and keeps you at the edge of your seat! Pick it up. Expected - End August 2017.
