I don't know why, but this book seemed so much better than the first one. Maybe because I knew what to expect this time and I was able to enjoy it for what it was: a twisted, teen murder mystery full of suspense and gruesome details! Not a Dexter read-alike, like I had thought when I picked up book one in this series. Thankfully, this book was so intriguing and fast-paced, the series totally redeemed itself and was able to make my opinions of it take a 180. Well, maybe only a 90 degree, because the first book was good too, but Game was so much better!
