The latest book in The Games series, Body Games, was great! This is one of my favorite authors and just one of the series she writes that I can't get enough of.Body Games takes us back to "Endurance Island", this time it's Power Players, (think Survivor all-stars). Players from past seasons of Endurance Island, House Guests (similar to Big Brother) and The World Races (the Amazing Race), come together for their chance to win it all.We first met Jendan in Bedroom Games where, alas he lost out on the prize money by coming in second. Now with a second chance, he's hoping this time that the nice guy can finally claim the prize.Annabelle, did not have the best time on last seasons Endurance Island. She made the mistake of falling hard for the pretty boy, and ended up being played by him and made to look a fool by some creative editing. She wants a chance to show everyone who she really is, play a no nonsense game, and stick it to the pretty boy, Kip, and if she happens to win, more the better.This season promises to be harder, and have more twists than the previous ones. The players find this out as they first hit the beach and are immediately put into teams of two, and of course Annabelle is paired with her nemesis Kip. Then the first twist is revealed, and it's a doozy. Their "uniforms" are revealed. Taking the game to a whole different level.This was such a fun book. A quirky take on "reality" TV, told with lots of laughs, and characters you can't help but fall in love with. If you haven't read the other books in the series I would highly recommend them. Starting with Wicked Games.
