'From the first to the last page, I was completely and utterly at the mercy of this book. I was turning the pages like they were on fire, it was that good!!!' Bibliophile Book Club Imagine you are having lunch at an exclusive restaurant, filled with Hollywood's hottest stars. And a masked gunman walks in and takes everyone hostage. You must bargain for your life against a twisted individual who knows everything about you. He also has a bomb set to detonate if his heart rate changes. If he dies. You die. You have four hours to stay alive. What would you do? A heart-stopping thriller with plenty of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat, for fans of Peter Swanson, Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay. Read what everyone is saying about The Killing Game 'Wow...Just...Wow! What happens in those four hours has to be some of the most intense reading I have ever experienced. I actually felt like I was with the other diners and in total fear of my life. It really grabs you by the throat and doesn't let you go, right up until the very last page. Readers really need to read it for themselves to get the full impact of just how great a novel this is.' By The Letter Book Reviews 'A highly tense and addictive tale. I held my breath, and this continued to the very end...my book of the year.' Postcard Reviews 'This book is simply outstanding and completely blew me away. In fact I felt I needed therapy after finishing it, as this book left me with a hell of a book hangover! I couldn't bear to put it down.' The Book Review CafE

This book is a first for me, I have never read a book that deals with a hostage situation. It made me realize that I have a hard time with human monsters because I can't possible empathize with the characters because what they are afraid of is so far from anything I have ever felt (and so indescribable). I realize I'm rambling, but this book gives me a lot to think over and has an interesting central idea.
This book was graciously provided via netgalley so full review to come once it all processes ;).
