“This is the first book by Lisa Jackson that I have read, a friend at work recommend her to me, telling me how amazing she was. I have to admit I had a really hard time even finishing this book. For the first 200 pages almost nothing happened. Then things started picking up, but there were so many loose ends at the end, I felt like what was the point of me even finishing it.

I will say that I do plan on pick up another one of this author’s books, just to give her another chance.

“Twenty years ago at a private high school in Oregon, a young teenage girl went missing. Her friends all just thought she ran away, but the cop investigating the case always believed there was foul play involved. Now, present day, the school is going to be torn down and human bones are uncovered. Are those bones Jessie's? Becca Sutcliff was a part of the group of friends who hung around Jessie. Now, slowly one by one they are dying in horrible accidents.

I just love the premise of this book. A bunch of kids in high school all brought together by tragic, mysterious circumstances. There is even a unrequited childhood love story to go along with it. The suspense portion of the story was much more prominent than the romance portion of the story. I think it's a little misleading to label this a romantic suspense. I think it would be better classified as a thriller. Indeed, the mood of the story was very dark and suggestive. The atmosphere the author created was spooky, to say the least.
The mystery/suspense part of the book was excellently done. I loved the attention to detail and I could clearly picture certain scenes in my mind. Where the book was lacking for me, was Becca and Hudson's relationship. There wasn't any real emotional development to it. Don't get me wrong. I liked both Becca and Hudson's personalities, but I didn't feel connected or invested in them as a couple. That could be because of their relationship developing off page. I think fans of suspense or mysteries will enjoy this book. Die hard romance fans might be disappointed though.”

Spellbinding…
Wicked Game by Lisa Jackson and Nancy Bush is sure to please the most astute reader. Visions, old mysteries, old secrets, and 20-year-old murders make this a page turner. An insane killer is on the loose. The characters are well developed. Even the supporting characters add much to the plot. The plot draws the reader in and holds their attention. Wicked Game is spellbinding, exciting, and suspenseful. Wicked Game is sure to hit the best seller list.
