If you love psychological horror that knows no bounds when it comes to gore, Sea Caummisar’s books might just be what you’re looking for.
In the first installment of Games, three girl friends are abducted after a night of NYE partying and forced into a disturbing kill-or-be-killed game. May the most cutthroat girl survive, literally. This game is orchestrated by a patient and deranged man, and it turns out –spoiler removed–. Winner takes all, but even then, can she handle it?
The lies were easy. Faking emotion wasn’t.
As for the narrator of the audio version, Ronald Young offers a strong voice and no distracting mouth sounds, but also no inflection or differentiation between characters whatsoever. He is not an actor, just a reader. You kind of get the feeling you’re sitting around a campfire while he reads aloud a creepy story, but you wish he’d read it through first, so he could enhance the story, not just relate it.
The point of view switches around without warning, often within the same paragraph, which is disorienting. In a longer book, this might settle into something useful, but at only 3 hours for this audiobook, there wasn’t time to adjust.
A bit of nitpicking aside, this is a solid read for the horror genre, right up there with one of my favorite movies, Hostel. I will definitely continue the series, though I may read it just because I didn’t connect well with the audiobook narrator.
I was given this free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I love this horrific but horrible stories by this author. I have read Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and now New Years’ stories and they are all awful – awfully good if you like horror. Not for the squeamish!

This was the usual fun disturbing story I have come to expect from this author. If you are squeamish at all you need to stay away. I think the most disturbing part of this story is not only is it possible but there is a very good possibility similar things can and do happen.
A deranged individual kidnaps three drunk women from a bar and proceeds to torture them. He forces them to play games and the loser is punished in various bloody ways. Body parts are removed and everyone does not make it to the end. A fun disgusting story that I really enjoyed. Not for children or those with weak stomachs.

This is book 1 in a new series and t starts the New Year off with a deliciously dark game that three friends are forced to play. This story proves that no matter how much you plan there is always the unexpected when it comes to people and player #3 was unexpected! If you love dark macabre books, then this is the book for you. A great read from start to finish.
