What an utterly terrifying thriller this was! The characters play the sort of game nobody would ever want to play, out of their free will! Their motivating power is the safety of their loved, and it doesn’t get scarier than this…

Horrifyingly Credible…
Welcome to ‘The Game’. When five apparent strangers receive invitations along with a grotesquely terrifying message they all agree to play The Game. They know the rules. There can be only one winner. But why have they been chosen? They do not know - but they do all know that, above all, they have to win. With a horrifyingly credible plot, populated with a well drawn cast of characters this is a fast paced, menacing and dark read. Grips from the off and doesn’t let go until that very last page.

This was an absolute belter of a book, couldn’t wait to read it.
Why have the players been chosen? What would you do to save your loved ones?
Highly recommend

Five strangers find themselves in a dangerous pursuit to save their kidnapped loved ones. Welcome to the game, do not involve the police, obey the rules and try to win. Suspicion is on the rise, challenges dark and horrendous. The world can be cruel, and its cruelty is usually pointless. Who is behind this mortal game and why were they chosen to play?

I've read the book in one evening and been pleasantly surprised that the plot is believable, concise and different in comparison with the other "cookie-cutter" thrillers these days. It is unique, cinematic and fast-paced. The characters are very well developed, issues current, and I am looking forward to another book from Scott Kershaw.

Unputdownable and thrilling page-turner.

Highly recommended.

An excellent thriller and one that is thrilling from the start.
This is the sort of book that you will look forward to going to bed early in order to get stuck in again.
I'd sort of worked out that all the players were connected but not quite how so the ending was a welcome surprise.

I love a story that is a bit different and unique and this certainly was but oh so good. Five strangers all receive a message from a unknown number but what it contains is truly shocking. The person you love is in danger so you have to play the game to save them or they will die. We meet each of the five strangers and a little of their back ground and then we really get into the nitty gritty of what the game involves and it is not a pretty sight, it is a thought provoking story that chilled me to the bone, there are plenty of twists and turns along the way, full of suspense and intrigue that will have you up all night wondering who will die and who will live. Such a cleverly written story and one that I would highly recommend.

A chilling storyline that makes you see how easy it would be for you to get caught up in The Game. Compelling story and loved the back stories of the characters and how they all come together.

This was such an enjoyable read, it was fast oaced, tense, atmopsheric and so full of suspense. It was really atmospheric and unpredictable, I didnt kno what to exoect when. I couldnt oput this book down it was completely gripping. I really enjoyed it.

I loved the premise of this story and I did fly through it relatively quickly, desperate to know who was behind it all and what was going to happen next. I live my thrillers some what realistic so that you get that added.... this could really happen type scare, however this story does have a lot of very outlandish aspects. It's well written and if you can take a wee flight of fantasy then it is quite a good book and it does certainly keep you guessing. You'll never guess the big reveal until its all broken down for you which is awesome. And you'll find that the villain may not be who you are expecting
