Jessica Clare writes one of my very favorite series about reality TV shows. Her first 'Wicked Games' was amazing because I watch Survivor religiously! When I was offered an ARC of Body Games, which is coming back to the world of 'Endurance Island' I was thrilled! Not just because I have read all the books in the series (Ice Games, FTW!) but it was about my favorite reality TV show again. So super fun.It's been a few months since I read the last installment 'Bedroom Games' but I vaguely remembered it and they brought back one of the characters. I love how Ms Clare adds in little quotes from the 'Confessionals' from some of the characters. It adds so much to the story, I love it!In Body Games, we meet (again) Jendan from Bedroom Games and Annabelle from a previous season of Endurance Island. She was portrayed as a slut and dimwit in her season on the Island and they were desperate for her to come back and ended up promising more money and also that she wouldn't be paired up from the man who humiliated her. Of course, this being TV... she got the money as promised but she was paired up with Kip. The twist of the show? The players would play NAKED.Ohhhh my word, I cringed every time they highlighted the fact that they were naked. Completely awful, maybe illegal, I would TOTALLY sue for skin cancer possibilities, and ewwww jiggly bits! It only made me laugh though as Jessica Clare writes so well.They also brought back Chip Brubaker, host of Endurance Island! Chip with the shallacked hair that never moves and sparkling smile that fades when the camera turns off. Oh PLEASE Ms Clare... PLEASE say this isn't Jeff Probst! Because I know Jeff and I would be best buds if we ever met.Okay okay, back to the story. I am giving 5 full thumbs up because there are some fantastic twists. Who is voted off the island? Ms Clare doesn't play it safe! I absolutely loved the ending too because while you knew what was happening, she twisted it just perfectly that you had to laugh as she tied it up in a neat little bow.I NEED MORE GAMES, Ms Clare!! PLLLLEEEAASSSEEEE!!!!
