When players dying in the game begin to disappear in real life, Marcus realizes he’s caught in the most dangerous rabbit hole, conceived by the wickedest of minds.

Great thriller!

I haven't read gamelit before but I decided to give this one a shot because of Michael Kramer and it was really superb. Grabbed me quickly and a great ride through the end.

Amazing pacing

Tense, fluid and well written. The characters are very real and relatable. I recommend. Narrator does a tour-de-force.

Excelente de principio a fin

Una historia original y muy entretenida desde el principio hasta el final. Tiene de todo y está escrito con un estilo que te facilita imaginar lo que está sucediendo y disfrutar. Lo recomiendo 100%.

A GameLit Thriller absolutely worth reading!

Loved it!

Awesome to have suspense/thriller in the GameLit genre. This emulates Sword Art Online, but focuses on the thriller aspect and takes it to a different level. Overall was impressed with the story, it really stands out as a great single-installment book within the genre. Not battered down with stat readings and in-game stuff and also a great balance with the IRL parts of the story. If a book 2 comes out, I will definitely be reading it. Would greatly recommend, especially if you are looking for something different within the GameLit genre.

Wasn't sure

Gave it a try and was not disappointed. Well read, written and perfectly paced. Will read more by this author.
