I could not put this down! If you have no interest in video games, TTRPGs, or books like the Hunger Games then this might not be for you... But if those sound interesting to you, then I'd recommend checking this out! If you're squeamish, be sure to check content warnings as there is a lot of gore and violence... But overall I think only one scene had me well and truly nauseous. 

One heads up though... If you don't have time to start a series right now, out this on the backburner. You will definitely want to continue onto book 2 as soon as you finish this one!
