Melanie Prescott pasea perros por Nueva York para ganar algún dinero extra, cuando un desconocido le entrega un sobre que contiene un mensaje: "Juega o muere". Pronto se verá atrapada en un mortífero juego de rol, debatiéndose por mantenerse siempre un paso por delante de Lynx, el implacable asesino que le ha tocado en suerte. Su protector es Stryker, un ex marine con el que deberá descifrar las claves que les permitan llegar al final del juego antes de que Lynx los encuentre. A cute and light read, perfect for beach-reading. Just a few pages in you already know the plot, but that was okay because watching the characters solve the puzzles was entertainment enough. This isn't a deep book at all, the puzzles aren't complicated nor are they really given to the reader to figure out, but if you have a passing interest in puzzles and codes you'll be entertained enough by their use. I loved the plot of this book. A billionaire makes it so that his famous online game is to be brought into the real world after his death. The game essentially involves only three players, an assassin, a target, and a protector. The target is assigned a protector and is given a starting clue which leads to another clue and so on. The game doesn’t end until either the target is killed or solves the final clue. It sounds simple, but there are more rules to the game and it’s really fun to watch the characters run all over New York trying to stay ahead of the assassin. The book is fast paced and it manages to be believable as to why and how the characters got involved in the game. First off, I love Julie Kenner. Her Demon series is funny, witty, and all of them are page-turners. I was a little disappointed in The Givenchy Code. Some parts I had to read twice to understand what was happening. A lot of modern conveniences tie-in with the book like a game site, GPS tracking, and even a modern lay out of New York. Some parts were cheesy while some parts seemed rush. It's a nice light read if you're in the mood for a thrilling chick lit book! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
