This book was okay. It felt more like this was not the first book in the series. You don't get told how the characters know each other or how they ended up where they were in the first place. I really didn't like the characters. They were a bit too bratty for me.

Endarine's Review

This book is for the fans of the game.  So if you haven't played it you will be a little lost.  For those of us who love the game though you will be addicted to this story and the characters.   They go along with the story well.
