The themes of these books have me in an utter chokehold. If I was to give stars purely based on the aesthetics of characters and kinks in the book, mmmhm five out of five for sure.
Irrelevant Side Note: I don't know if it was a nod to Sophie Lark's The Bully (as i know Madison is quite the fan) but the Neon Tiger in the club made me so happy, even if the connection is only in my own mind.
Part of me wants to take into consideration that this is a debut novel, so Four Stars might be more warranted. That said, however, aspects of the writing did lose my captivation ever so often throughout. It also felt (at least the first 50%) very much like the pace and structure of a novella. Luckily the storyline was strong enough to keep one interested, and the dynamics of the characters were really enjoyable to read. I often found myself grinning, always a positive takeaway. Some of the more spicy scenes further into Good Game didn't overly flow, they almost felt disconnected from the novel itself, perhaps I was expecting something different even more intense maybe. But they almost seemed to have been written separately and then slotted in rather than flowing with the storyline and characters.
In summary and to be completely honest, even if Aleksander Knight holds the candle for aesthetics if EnglishCoffees scenes make me laugh as much in his book as he did in Good Game there's every chance Forbidden Game is going to be five stars. I have a sneaking suspicion that as this series continues each book is going to outshine the next, and personally, I can not wait.
