BOOK REVIEW - The Stranger Game by Peter Gadol

Do you want to play a game?

If the answer is yes,then welcome,good luck but always remember to obey the 3 simple rules....

1 : Choose your subjects at random.
2 : No Contact
3 : Never follow the same stranger twice

Sounds simple doesn't it,the only problem with rules is they are so easily broken. The game starts off as something simple,a fad that suddenly gets bigger than it was and gets out of control. Rules change,boundaries become blurred. Unscrupulous people start using the game to their own advantage,the game becomes more intense,dangerous and people start disappearing.

This strangely,compelling tale is the story of how Rebecca finds herself losing control of her life after she finds herself drawn deeper and deeper into The Stranger Game following the disappearance of her on again - off again boyfriend Ezra. The police are not interested in investigating Ezra`s disappearance,insisting that he is probably off playing the game and Rebecca should just move on with her life. But Detective Martinez does start taking a lot of interest in Rebecca's life,turning up at the same places as Rebecca and calling,asking questions but can she be trusted.Whilst playing the game Rebecca meets and become involved in a very intense relashionship with another player called Carey. Someone who is willing to take the game further than she imagined possible.More than one character is not who they appear to be,can Rebecca really trust Carey and what has happened to Ezra?

This is a very quick read,I read the whole book in one sitting and was very surprised that I got to the end as quickly as I did. I loved the descriptions of the crumbling house on top of the hill. This was a enjoyable,enthralling read that had unreliable characters and some surprising twists and turns.The only part that disappointed me personally was how the story ended,not the whole ending just part of it.This is the first book that I have read by this author and it most definitely will not be my last.
