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.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a short and quick read yet I felt pretty entertained. The plot was interesting and makes me wonder why nothing like this has been written before.

I did feel like it could have had more substance to it though, more of an edge. I also wanted more depth to the story and more dimension to the characters and their relationships. I didn't feel sad for the loss that everyone endures but I wanted to feel sad, I just hadn't connected with the characters enough.

I'm looking forward to picking up book two.
