Game
For my independent reading project, I read Game by Barry Lyga. When I read the prequel I Hunt Killers, it was one of the only books i have actually enjoyed reading cover to cover. I took this opportunity of this project to read the second book. Here is some background information about the prequel. There is a boy named Jasper Dent, son of Billy Dent, an insane serial killer. Jazz (Jasper) grew up with the pressure to follow in his dads footsteps and also kill innocent people. In his hometown of Lobos Nod, Billy was arrested and soon after, a man was rein-acting Billy's murders. Jazz helped the police officers hunt him down. Meanwhile, Billy escaped prison and murdered a few people in Lobos Nod. After this, he fled to a new territory of New York city and began all over again. Game is about Jazz's and the police's efforts to catch Billy. Jazz must leave his best friend Howie to take care of his grandmother while Jazz is away. Jazz's girlfriend Connie begs to go to New York with Jazz and does. In New York, Jazz meets a new serial killer named the Hat-Dog Killer. Jazz knows that the Hat-Dog Killer had to have come across Billy because their murders are very similar. Jazz and Connie begin to receive strange text messages and must start to play a game in order to survive. You will need to see if Jazz will give in to his fathers teaching or will he put him in prison alongside the Hat-Dog Killer
This looks like a really good book. I am probably going to read it next
