I've previously read Diana Urban's debut book and it was really nice to see her growing as an author! This book had me guessing the entire time and I never knew what was going to happen next. I had a such a hard time putting this book down! It read like a viral internet horror game, like where you didn't know if it's real or not, and it was a lot of fun. Really looking forward to anything this author writes in the future.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review.
This is definitely going to be one where you either love it, or don't. I, for one, had fun with this as I like video games and thrillers. I grabbed this one with the right mindset, so I was expecting a YA Thriller, and that is what I got.
These Deadly Games is about revenge, and what someone will do for the ones they love. It's clear from the start what is happening, who the culprit is, and what the outcome will be. Still it was a fun ride while it unfolded.
I've been enjoying more YA lately, and not just YA Fantasy. It makes for quick reading which is usually an enjoyable one. I definitely recommend for those who like gaming, want a quick and fun read, and want to try out YA Thrillers.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
