Review of The Revenant Games by Margie Fuston

4/5 Stars

I was so excited for the book. Vampires, witches, and a Hunger Games-esque game, what more could I ask for?

I did really love the characters, and I was here for the romance. Giggling, kicking my feet.

The world-building was done really well, and I was intrigued because sometimes YA world-building can be the bare minimum. The premise of the games was nice, and I thought everything made sense.

This could have been a 5-star read, but the ending of the book ruined it for me. The characters started making silly decisions around the end, and I wondered why the book was not getting wrapped up. I finished the book to turn to the next page that had an excerpt of the 1st chapter of the second book in the series. That's when all the weird plot points and silly decisions made sense.

This could have been a standalone, in my opinion. I was not aware that this was a series, but I will be reading the second book because I am invested in these characters.
