Rush by Eve Silver

Rush (Game, #1)

by Eve Silver

Rush pulls you headlong into the thrilling, high-stakes world of Eve Silver's teen series The Game, about teens pulled in and out of an alternate reality where battling aliens is more than a game—it's life and death. Eve Silver's teen debut offers science fiction and gaming fans romantic thrills at a breakneck pace. New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong says, "Smart and original, Rush is an action-packed ride with plenty of heart."

Sixteen-year-old Miki Jones's carefully controlled life spirals into chaos after she's run down in the street, left broken and bloody. She wakes up fully healed in a place called the lobby—pulled from her life, pulled through time and space into some kind of game in which she and a team of other teens are sent on missions to eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien creatures. There are no practice runs, no training, and no way out. Miki has only the guidance of secretive but maddeningly attractive team leader, Jackson Tate, who says the game is more than that and what Miki and her new teammates do now determines their survival—and the survival of every other person on this planet. She laughs. He doesn't. And then the game takes a deadly and terrifying turn.

Rush has had wide ranged mixed reviews since it's release, but I for one, loved it! It's an action, science fiction romance about being warped into a world where you battle aliens. All the players have something in common, a near death experience at some point in their lives, now they owe their debt to The Committee, those who see over the proceedings. If you die in game, there is no coming back.

Some parts were difficult to follow, like in which existence do these games actually take place, but you'll lose yourself within the storyline and barely notice. I really, really, enjoyed it, but be warned, it leaves you with a plot changing cliffhanger.
