Book Review Blurb: The God Game by Danny Tobey

I really enjoyed this one – it served up a perfect blend of conspiracy, techno-thriller, and action. The story felt fresh and relevant and shined a light on a lot of the pressures that face kids on the cusp of adulthood in the modern world. The characters were compelling and well crafted and offered a melange of personality traits and foibles. The action was consistent and the drama and tragedy felt genuine and believable and even though it was centered on high school kids, it was very relatable to me as both an adult and a step-parent to teenagers. There was a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming (although in hindsight maybe should have) and I really enjoyed the way things wound up – it was open-ended enough to keep me guessing about what would happen next, but resolved itself enough to not leave me feeling cheated out of an ending. This was a great find and I’d definitely pick up a book by Tobey again!
