🌶️🌶️🌶️
Narration: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I don’t hate a lot of books, but I truly hated this one. The characters were unbearable, especially Neil who had zero redeeming qualities. Maybe that was the point, but it didn’t work for me.
The side characters weren’t any better, the “spicy” scenes were cringey, and I cannot stand when an author refers to a p*nis as his “member.”
Add in the jealousy trope and the repetitive plot, and I just felt like I was stuck in a bad dream. It was the same things happening over and over while I kept waiting for something big to happen, and it never did.
The only positives for me were the mystery and suspense around figuring out who player 2511 was, though that was rare.
The writing itself was strong, very detailed but undeniably well done.
The narrators were also excellent and did a great job keeping me engaged even when the story dragged.
Overall, this one wasn’t for me.
Thank you Sourcebooks audio for an ALC.

Let the Game Begin is the kind of dark, obsessive romance that hijacks your weekend and makes you feral for the next book. Kira Shell’s U.S. debut blends stepsibling tension, high heat, and a stalker subplot into a cat-and-mouse game you cannot look away from. Fans of Penelope Douglas and L.J. Shen should clear their schedules because you’re not putting this down.
