Publisher Description

A board game unleashes a supernatural force determined to claim its players in this thrilling young adult trilogy by New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Diaries series, L.J. Smith. All three books now available together in one bind-up!

Jenny Thornton’s mission to make her boyfriend’s seventeenth birthday memorable brings her to a game store on the seedy side of town, where the strange and preternaturally gorgeous owner sells her the Game. He promises the Game is no ordinary experience but will reveal players’ secrets and tempt them with dark desires. Despite her misgivings, Jenny shares the game with her friends. Once they open the box, it’s too late to turn back.

The Game comes to life and pulls the teens into its world, run by the alluring and enigmatic Shadow Man—the one who sold Jenny the Game. The Shadow Man, Julian, brings the group’s nightmares to life and dares them to survive, all while making it clear that the goal of his game is to claim Jenny as his own.

Unable to quit without forfeiting their lives, Jenny and her friends have no choice but to play by Julian’s rules, but he doesn’t play fair, and their first challenge is only the beginning…

Amazing book

Read the series when I was middle school, loved the romance and thrill. First time I have bought the paperback, no matter what the cost. Now I wish they had all the series electronically as well. A movie wouldn't be bad either. A must read.

Great read

I absolutely loved these books when I read them when I was in junior high, well over 10 years. LJ Smith and Lois Duncan are some of my favorite writes and should have many movies and tv shows based on their stories! It's great that all these years later the books are still getting the love!

Yes!

I remember reading these books well over 13-14 years ago in HS and couldn't stop reading to see what happened next. Never been a big reader but these books kept my attention like no other. We need more like it L.J lol.
