Publisher Description

Gamers and action fans of all types will dive straight into the MEEP, a virtual-reality gaming world, thanks to Julia Durango's cinematic storytelling. A touch of romance, constant twists, and a vivid, multidimensional journey through a tricked-out virtual city will keep readers flying through to the breathtaking end.

Nixy Bauer is used to her classmates being very, very unhappy to see her. After all, she's a bounty hunter in a virtual-reality gaming world—and she's frequently hired by irritated parents to pull kids out of the mazelike MEEP universe.

But when the game's billionaire developer loses track of his own son in the MEEP, Nixy is in for the biggest challenge of her bounty-hunting career. Wyn Salvador isn't some lazy kid looking to escape his homework: Wyn does not want to be found. And he's left behind a suicide note. Nixy takes the job but quickly discovers that Wyn's not hiding—he's being held inside the game against his will. But who is holding him captive, and why?

Nixy and Wyn attempt to fight their way out of a mind game unlike any they've encountered, and the battle brings them closer than either could have imagined. But when the whole world is virtual, how can Nixy possibly know if her feelings are real?

A humanoid who lives ,

I want more!

I just finished reading this book for the second time and I would highly recommend it. There are some unanswered questions in the end, but I hope there's a second book to answer them.

The best book i’ve ever read

This book had me going out of my way to read it. I’d pull it out during any free time i had while in school. I read this almost a year ago and still came back to it

Decent, but could be better.

To start off with, whoever decided to name the game, MEEP, should be executed. Reading this book and not trying to laugh every time you read 'meeple,' Is impossible.

On a positive, the exposition was very well written, and the introduction to characters was seamless, though all of their speech tones seemed the same. The choice of words and vocabulary of every character seemed identical.

-SPOILER ALERT-

Once I got to the mid-point of he book, I still felt as if I was in the begging. The plot, besides the exposition, was absolutely terrible. I've never read a book more predictable than this one. As soon as Nixy received a message from Chang after entering a private MEEP world, I instantly knew he was behind everything, not to mention that the description of the book gives away that Wyn was being held captive, against his will.

This book will give you an insane build-up, to a flat line in the end.

And of course after 3 days of interaction, Nixy and Wyn get married. Very smart.

All in all, this book was a great idea, but was terribly executed.
