Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Michelle L. Olson:I love the way Heather Killough-Walden writes. There's just something organically magickal about it. And this book was no different. It was absolutely incredible!I don't read a whole lot of sci-fi, but knowing that I'm a HKW groupie, I had no problem wanting to give this a try. Sooo glad I did, it blew me away. It was so unique, so wonderfully structured, so vivid, so gripping... It was sort of an adult version of The Hunger Games but darker, more insidious, and sexier, mixed with some amazing Norse mythology, suspense and intrigue.Heather created an amazing world where psychically gifted people are mind wiped and sequestered inside a walled off sector and forced to play Game after Game against each other.  Like real life, the lines between 'light' and 'dark' can sometimes be blurred, and it's not always readily evident who the 'bad guys' are.Victor and Victoria are great leads. Victoria is confident, strong, powerful, and yet a bit naive and vulnerable.  Victor is sexy, majorly alpha male, and has that awesome bad boy appeal that so many of us women drool over. He's also incredibly honorable and somewhat misunderstood.The supporting characters were well rounded and necessary and the story was full of fabulous surprises.LITERAL ADDICTION gives A Sinister Game 5 Skulls and would highly recommend it to Sci-Fi, Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance readers who are looking for something engaging and unique.
