Each novel sends them on a new quest to save themselves and their friends and hopefully to destroy Julian once and for all. Throughout the series, they find out how Jenny's family and her past is woven into Julian's existence and that of the 'shadow men'. Jenny is very much aware that this Shadow Prince is a total psychopath.
What I liked about this whole thing is that it doesn't romanticize it.
All throughout the stories we learn why and how Julian became so obsessed with young Jenny, that he's been watching her for her whole life. This is actually a collection of three books, the above one being The Hunter, the next being The Chase and the final chapter being The Kill. I won't spoil it but this is only the beginning of their crazy journey with Julian. Geeze, I thought my Friday nights were rough. I'm a huge advocate for board games but man, whatever happened to bowling?Īnyway they start playing the game and some awaken a rune that brings the whole thing into play, weird things happen, everyone ends up stuck in this fake house that came with the game and each and every one of them has to face their biggest fears and make it to the top of the house before dawn in order to escape alive. Night starts off normally enough, you know, for a seventeen-year old's birthday party with friends. They instantly have a connection and he gives her this game called 'The Game'and the rest is history. Literally, it says this on his name tag (No I'm lying). So here she meets, weird, attractive, blond and creepy Julian. You know right away that this was a bad decision, but hey it was either get possibly attacked by these people following her or go into the mysteriously appearing shop. We start at the beginning where Jenny is walking around in a sketchy part of town cause you know, there's no way the mall could have board games, and she sees this door just conveniently appear out of nowhere with a sign indicating it's a game shop. He is the 'win win win no matter what' guy and takes everything for granted, yet Jenny complete romanticizes him because they've been together since the second grade and it's so annoying, I feel immediately like, she could do better. My Thoughts: This book is Jumanji for adults, or teenagers I guess, except that instead of the game coming to life, the players get sucked into the world of the game! Jenny's boyfriend Tom is super annoying, according to everything you read about him he is the 'perfect guy' but honestly, I can't stand him, but maybe that's just me. One by one the friends must confront their phobias to win the Game. Because the Game isn't just a game - it's the seven friends' new reality, where Julian reigns as the Prince of the Shadows. And when he places the Game into her hands, she knows their connection is something deeper.īut as Jenny and her six friends begin to play the Game at Tom's birthday celebration, a night of friends and fun quickly turns into a night of terror and obsessive love. There is something mysteriously alluring about Julian's pale eyes and bleached-blond hair. Synopsis: When Jenny buys a game for her boyfriend, Tom, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the guy behind the counter.
