I've been on a real thriller, mystery kick lately, and this one has been on my TBR for a LONG time. When it was on sale on Google Books, I figured now was the time. The premise is definitely fun: influencers, social media stars, jilted ex's, crazy stans and more all join together in a massive game of tag throughout London in pursuit of a cash prize. Only each is also there for reasons beyond just the money, and each is a suspect in the murder of a girl connected to the game master. Beyond the tech heavy game of tag and the influsion of a strange Pokemon Go type of ghost hunting game, there are challenges to gain additional points. The game itself is the backdrop, but its the tension and clues between the characters that make it interesting. Erin wants to escape her narcissistic mother, Grayson wants revenge on the guy he blames for his girlfriend leaving him, Charlotte wants to win the game masters love, and Emma wants a story worthy of her journalistic ambitions. Each character interacts with the others in a strange hate vs collaborate web, and it does leave you wondering who the murderer is until the end. While I did figure out the person beyond the 'ghost' pretty early, I'll admit I didn't look too closely at the person who did turn out to be the killer. It made sense in the end, but I think any of them could have been guilty. Overall, a pretty good read. A little juvenile, even for YA, but easy to read.
