Warning: Do NOT read this book 3 o’ clock in the morning. Hell’s Game was hypnotic and unbelievable. I’m not one to be easily scared, but when I am, it takes a lot. The mystery of it all, from the characters to this ‘game’ they were playing, had me up all kind of hours in the night. It was haunting and just crazy enough to keep a reader’s heart at a very abnormal pace. I know some people are peevish about their horror books, but I thought Lo’s writing was different and immensely exciting. She gi...more
I love how in the summary it says that the teens "chose to play" the game. The letters that they receive are actually pretty threatening. Stating that if they refuse to play the game, it will be instant access to Hell upon their death. If they win they rescue themselves along with Ronnie's soul from Hell. Usually with young adult books I always hope for a little bit of a darker read when it comes to the horror books. This one did a great job of fulling that hope. I was a little disappointed to s...more
I absolutely loved the story for Hell's Game. The entire premise reminded me of one of my most favorite series from the early 90s called The Forbidden Game by LJ Smith. Not to mention the entire book felt like it was a modernization of the great Point Horror masterpieces of the same era. I was immediately immersed in familiar ground & taken on a ride that was both expected & then completely new at the same time. I loved every second of the story; all the character interactions & grow...more
I really regret reading this book at night time, there's some pretty creepy scenes and after finishing it at like four in the morning I was not able to sleep. I should have guessed a book called Hell's Game may be a bit scary, so I seriously should have thought before reading it at night. The cover even says "A young adult horror novel" so I should have known... GAH!
Overall, the book was pretty awesome but at some points it started to lose my attention. I kind of split it into thirds; the first...more

Hell's Game is an intense book that examines four friends as they battle Hell for their souls. This book took some really unexpected turns and once the game got going, I couldn't put it down.
When the four characters were first introduced, they were set up pretty clearly. It was easy to point out the mean, the weak, the sidekick, and the jock, and I thought from there that the rest of the story would be predictable. Boy was I wrong. Not one of my predictions was right. Hell's Game is about chall...more

This book… wow. Hell’s Game was amazing. The story was attention-grabbing right from the start. We quickly get to know the main characters, without needing a lengthy description of each one. Through their actions and snippets from their past lives, we can actually get a sense of who they were. This was very important, but I grew much more appreciative of the fact that I understood the characters later on in the story, when they were faced with some very difficult decisions.

“They only exist because you have to much pride, and pride is one of the seven deadliest sins. It is pride that will cause you to stay in Hell. Remember the knowledge you read in my books. Remember that there is a Higher Power than yourself. Remember that it is okay to lean on others in your time of need. Go home and prepare your body, mind and soul to be as strong as it can be before The Game begins, and tell the others to do the same. That is the only real advice I can give you, but that advice is what will help you conquer.-Mayor Hercules”
