Endgame

I wish this novella was longer. I was hooked from the very start and was swept away by this fast paced futuristic thriller. There was some insta love and the twist was predictable but the exaction was top tier. I love reading stories about the advancement of tech, especially VR and this checked all the boxes for me. 10/10

Holy crap I just got taken on a wild ride by a less than fifty page short story. Short stories general are not my thing but I was pleasantly surprised by Endgame.

This futuristic sci-fi thriller follows Leigh, a seemingly successful lawyer as she navigates recent heartbreak by throwing herself into a virtual reality game that seems like futuristic Tinder.

And now, for my new favorite pastime of being a snotty, drunken, half-naked mess.

I mean if that is just not a mood all by itself, I don’t know what is.

The story starts off with a bang and ***TRIGGER WARNING*** a mention of suicide with literally no lead up to it at all.

Good ol’ Jamie. She warned me against Peter when I first started seeing him, but she threw herself out the window of her high-rise apartment before she could really nail into my brain how bad he was.

Oh okay we are going to a dark place right off the bat, but it will make sense in the end so just hold on.

The action kicks off fast and this Is a real page-turner with a HUGE surprise ending. It does exactly what a short story should do and draws you in at the start and keeps you hooked until the very last page.

I am not a short story reader so I was very surprised by how much I liked this. There was good world building and character description/development in such a short read, which I found to be really impressive. Overall I really enjoyed this and can’t wait to check out more from this author.

This is a great short read just under 60 pages. Leigh a young Lawyer, who was just dumped by her boyfriend decides she is going to trying virtual dating but something goes not quite as expected. I was not expecting the twist at the end and I wish this novella had been a full length book.

OH MY GOD. The plot twist at the end was so shocking, it was so unexpected!!

This book is about Leigh who got into a date with Alexei in The Game, a virtual reality where you can alter your avatar to be more attractive and choose your dates. Leigh met Alexei in The Game and she found out a secret in The Game from Alexei and they will borh try to fix it.

This is was such a good read! Everything was so amazing and the concept of the book is incredible! I loved the writing style and the characters. This is one of the shortest but greatest books I have ever read.

Book received for free through NetGalley

Wow. Just wow. A quick read that grabs you quickly and doesn’t let you go.

I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This short story was simply amazing. I’m the roughy 60 pages that make up the story there were so many twists and turns that leave you wanting more. The amount of detail achieved was impressive. And I loved the storyline itself.
I am seriously so sad this wasn’t longer. Definitely has the makings of a full length novel. Fell in love with the plot and characters in six short chapters. I need to know what happened after the final page.
Well written and intriguing from the first chapter through the end, there was more substance written into this short story then some 200+ page books I’ve read.

Endgame is short and sweet! This novella isn't super long and is about 65 pages but it really is a blending of genres. It's really fast paced and engaging all set around a virtual dating game. It's full of twisty turny wonderfulness.
