I have to admit I am huge fan of this author, I have read nearly all her other books and series but the original book did escape my notice. Luckily for me Heather re-released it so I had the pleasure of being able to review it now. A Sinister Game kind of reminded me of those old movies like Tron and Rollerball where games won or lost determined a person's standing in the community. The gamers inside the wall were so conditioned to that life having no memory of their past that they never even questioned the idea that there had to be more than just the game, all except Victor Black. After playing and winning the game for over four hundred years Victor longed for something more. Victoria on the other hand was a worth competitor but a mere fledgling and she thrived on the challenges of the game. Enemies would become allies, allies are secretly the enemy and I must admit I wondered about Victor's true motives at times. Some steamy moments and that dream sequence was something else. I didn't see the real villain till the end so a big surprise there and plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing.
