Like the original Hunger Games, except instead of strangers it’s a middle school class forced to kill each other…

I don’t think I’ve ever read anything quite so worthy of a high page count, there was constantly something happening and the tension this book built was immense. 
I definitely struggled with all the different characters early on in the book but as it went on it got easier to differentiate them.

Every time I picked it up, I had a difficult time putting it down.

"ehhh just one more chapter"
"well I can't leave it there, one more"
"hmmm it's only ten minutes past my bed time..."
