Had a start stop with this due to ARCs but ya’ know me I can pick up and carry on my wayward son 🤣🤣 Especially Sheridan’s work having read a lot by this author.

Ok, onto the nitty gritty. The clue is in the title of this one, the game is afoot with S3rial k!llers and contract k!llers galore well, not quite that many. There are actually 20 invited to these games but only one winner!

Our FMC Siren, is an experienced contract killer and believes she has an exceptional chance at winning, that is until she sees the circle of other contenders, who announce their k!ller names, as one name makes her fearful, the elusive Reaper and another is a child, Shadow 😱 We are taken on a journey through the machinations of contract k!lling, the ups and downs (this will make sense if you read it🤭), the v!olence, the namesake’s techniques, the building of relationships and the end game.

I so enjoyed this one, loved Siren, she made me laugh at times and her being a bada$$ <chefs kiss>, the storyline held your interest, the interactions between the game players fab, Sheridan really has your heads’ imagination ticking. The part near the end…just 🤯
