De: Barry Lyga

Narrado por: Charlie Thurston

The second book in Barry Lyga's New York Times bestselling series, Jazz's terrifying quest to take down murderers continues as he heads off to New York City to find a deadly killer—before it's too late. Perfect for fans of Dexter.

Billy grinned. "Oh, New York," he whispered. "We're gonna have so much fun."

I Hunt Killers introduced the world to Jazz, the son of history's most infamous serial killer, Billy Dent.

In an effort to prove murder didn't run in the family, Jazz teamed with the police in the small town of Lobo's Nod to solve a deadly case. And now, when a determined New York City detective comes knocking on Jazz's door asking for help, he can't say no. The Hat-Dog Killer has the Big Apple—and its police force—running scared. So Jazz and his girlfriend, Connie, hop on a plane to the big city and get swept up in a killer's murderous game.

Both the stakes and the body count are higher in this suspenseful and unstoppable sequel from acclaimed author Barry Lyga.

How can a story end in the middle of something so

Would you listen to Game again? Why?

Yes.
It twists and turns, keeping you guessing. I like the characters.

Have you listened to any of Charlie Thurston’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I Hunt Killers - the first book.

LEt's play a game

If you could sum up Game in three words, what would they be?

good, slow, unbelievable

Would you recommend Game to your friends? Why or why not?

I probably wouldn't. It's a little "childish" the only way I can think to describe it is if it wasn't quite so morbid at times, it may be more fitting for a 16 year old to read

What does Charlie Thurston bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really did like his reading voice. I think he's good playing other characters and also his inner thought voice is good

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

sorry to say it wasn't. I DID like it but it took me forever to finish & I kept finding myself distracted

Any additional comments?

this was good and I feel like I will probably read the next one. I just found myself not listening or getting distracted easily so i'm not sure I loved it

Stellar!

This series is incredible and I cannot wait for the next book. The narrator does a great job which just ups the creep factor.

Way to leave us hanging Barry. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Couldn't Turn It Off!

Compelling, riveting and wonderfully disturbing! Love the twisting cliffhangers, can't wait for the next book!

A Great Sequel to I Hunt Killers

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is a bit graphic for the YA set, but as an adult who reads and reviews quite a few YA books and loves thrillers, this was a great listen. The book is full of gruesome crimes and depraved killers, but it also features the strength of friendship. There's a lot going on in this sequel- the story expanding from a small town boy dealing with his serial killer father's legacy, to New York City and the possibility that Jasper's dad is on the hunt again. While Jasper helps the cops in NYC, Howie and Connie are dealing with a mystery a little closer at home. The end of the book leaves several cliffhangers that will have you desperate for the next book!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Game?

The ending had me on the edge of my seat! The stakes have gotten so much higher in this third book, and the fate of the main characters had my pulse racing!

What about Charlie Thurston’s performance did you like?

Thurston stepped up his performance for this second book, and while I thought he did an okay job in I Hunt Killers, I much preferred his narration in Game. I'm including him in my "favorite narrators" list now. ;)

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"Losing this game could be deadly"
