Waiting on Wednesday: GAME by Barry Lyga

Jill at Breaking the Spine started this and I believe that it's awesome" This blog post is to alert those that visit about "the" book that we cannot wait to get our hands on. This week I have selected GAME by Barry Lyga. OMG! I love, love, loved I HUNT KILLERS. It was a wicked, crazy book that haunted me and sent chills down my spine and for fans of DEXTER it was a perfect read.
Now you know what my WoW is what is yours?

Billy grinned. "Oh, New York," he whispered. "We're gonna have so much fun."

I Hunt Killers introduced the world to Jazz, the son of history's most infamous serial killer, Billy Dent.

In an effort to prove murder didn't run in the family, Jazz teamed with the police in the small town of Lobo's Nod to solve a deadly case. And now, when a determined New York City detective comes knocking on Jazz's door asking for help, he can't say no. The Hat-Dog Killer has the Big Apple—and its police force—running scared. So Jazz and his girlfriend, Connie, hop on a plane to the big city and get swept up in a killer's murderous game.

Both the stakes and the body count are higher in this suspenseful and unstoppable sequel from acclaimed author Barry Lyga.

I feel like I saw I Hunt Killers mentioned a few times yesterday! I haven't read it yet, but I like the idea behind it.

I still haven't read I Hunt Killers, but this one sounds amazing! I think the reason why I didn't read that book was because I didn't know what it was about, but I'm definitely intrigued now.

Great idea!

I would love to see what you have to say :)

“Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.”
