Party Games

De: Jon Athan

After years apart, a group of estranged friends gather at a secluded cabin in the woods for a reunion party. Their celebration is interrupted when Chase Bowen—a mysterious, handsome young man—shows up at their door, wet, cold and stranded.

But Chase has different plans for them. He wants to play his favorite party games with the guests. And in his versions of these games, there are violent, sadistic consequences for losing...

A story that will just piss you off, mostly

So I was thinking maybe this story would be like Harbinger of Vengeance. That’s one of my favorites by Athan. This story is its own thing, though. At least in Harbinger of Vengeance, we know WHY. This story has left me walking away pissed, confused and needing more. I love Athans stories though, he’s one of my favorites. As for Party Games, it’s mid. I struggle with stories that don’t end with justice. That’s a me issue probably

worst nightmare

Another fun and terrifying book by Jon Athan!
He has taken a common fear and made it even more horrifying! The narrator is one of the best. His ability to transform seamlessly into different characters and voices makes it easy to follow along with the storyline.

Couldn’t stop listening

First off, the narrator was phenomenal. And the author knows how to keep you wanting more. A great short listen. Kept me on my toes on what would happen next.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

A beautifully unique and violent mix of funny games and the strangers. Athon never disappoints between realistic dialog, brutal torture, and cringe inducing gore descriptions (in the best way). The premise can be summed up in the line "because you were home" along the same vein as the Do not disturb series, sometimes there is no reason, they just wanted too. The only problem I had was sometimes the narrator sounded really whiny when voicing female characters and it kinda took me out of it at some points.

There are warnings for a reason!

I loved this! This story makes you want to think twice about answering a knock at the door and being kind enough to help someone out. Brutal and an edge of your seat listen! I'll forever think of this book when anyone says "would you rather" . Bravo Jon Athan!
