A Vicious Game by Melissa Blair
3.75
adventurous dark emotional mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I knew it! I Knew It! I KNEW IT!!! The second they went to that one party in book one I knew! Melissa tried to gaslight me but I KNEW IT!!!

(It does make so much of what Kira does in book to feel unnecessarily particularly when he KNEW about it.
They literally told Killian their plan to infiltrate the library!! Why didn’t they just use the glamor she has apparently already been using FOR YEARS?!?!? Such nonsense!


This books had such weird pacing. When it’s slow it’s SLOW but out of nowhere the energy and action will pick up for ten to fifteen pages, but for going right back to super slow. 

Overall it didn’t hold my attention as well as the last two. But at least with this one there is less important information happening off page (which was my biggest issue w/ bk2) 

Guess we’ll see what bk4 has for us eventually
