Game of Fear by Glede Browne Kabongo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Abbie knows what she wants out of her life and she knows that she has to work hard to accomplish those goals. For her, dating is a distraction, one she doesn’t want to toy with. She’s kept herself on the straight and narrow for so long. But even she is susceptible to mistakes. Someone out there knows of her mistake and is determined to make that moment be known to all. If this comes out, it ruins her dreams. Her family has already had to deal with her mother being framed for a murder and her father’s battle with cancer. To share the burden with them would cause more unnecessary hurt she feels. So she thinks she has no choice but to play the dangerous game the “avenger” wants to play.
Within all of the gameplay, Abbie lets down her guard, agreeing to date she finds out what it’s like to have the best of both worlds. She becomes closer to her friends, even opening up about what’s going on. Through them, she’s able to sort through the clues to reveal more and more dangerous levels the cruel avenger is willing to go to. In the end, who does it really end up being, a friend or a stranger?
I had read the 3rd book in the series by accident first and was determined to go back to the beginning. I’m so glad I did! I loved this book so much. It gives me so much insight into where Abbie ends up later in the series. Even though I thought the avenger was one person, the little bit of doubt was constantly there, messing with me. I felt like the answers were there, just out of reach! Through the whole book, I was sucked in and was ready to throw away my work for the day in order to just read more. I’ve already started book three and I plan on re-reading book 3! This was a fun thriller to read, and one that I’d love to go back to. It’s very well written and just fascinating!
