Their Vicious Games

I Picked Up This Book Because: Bookstagram

Media Type: Audiobook
Source: CC Public Library
Dates Read: 2/1/26 - 2/2/26
Rating: 3 Stars
Narrator(s): Ariel Blake

The Characters:

Adina Walker:
Saint, Esme, Several other contestants and the Remmington Family

The Story:

Someone on Bookstagram said this book was excellent and I ran with that and that was my mistake. While this book was so well written and the narrator performed it excellently, I will never understand books about show more kids killing each other on purpose. Sure, Adina did not know but the rest of them (maybe not Saint) knew exactly what The Finish was. They were raised with the expectation of participating in a fight to the death. I hate it. show less
