Not that impressed with this one
"Play to Live" by Charles Veley is Dell Publishing's seventh book in their Twilight series. It's rather short, and I found myself constantly surprised at how much of the book I'd gone through. It's likely no shorter than the other books in the series but the story just seemed like it needed to go on longer.
To be honest, I wasn't that impressed with the book. Most of it read okay, but the cookie cutter ending just bothered me. I'm expecting horror and mysticism and creepiness. What I got instead was a James Bond villian, who acted in the same way I'd expect one to act. Allowing the perfect opportunity for the hero to escape with the information. Where is the creativity? Where is the originality?
It wasn't a bad read, but certainly not a recommended one. After the previous books in the series that I've read, I expected more from this one.
