First I want to say thank you Bloom Books for the ARC read I really appreciated it!!
Now let’s get to it! Kira Shell has me crying. Literally in tears! The pain I feel with every word has shattered me. The story picks back up immediately after Selene’s accident. Neil tries his best to keep Selene away from himself in order to keep her safe while Selene is conflicted on whether she should stay by Neil’s side or forget him completely.
Each hurtful word that came out of both Neil and Selene’s mouth cut me so deep. It hurt so much more because you get both their POVs, they say one thing out loud to each other but something else to themselves. You see where the hurt is coming from.
I gave this a 3.5 stars just because it was beautifully written showcasing pain from both Neil and Selene. But you definitely get to see a lot more of Neil spiraling and trying to fix himself. I liked that his actions are now speaking louder than his words.
I wish though that there was more plot to the story though. Why was Player barely mentioned?? This entire store was more of just Neil trying to push Selene away. You didn’t get the suspense or the thrill. You just keep circling back to the problem about Neil struggling with his past. I wish we had gotten more clues and appearances from Player. I think it would’ve impacted the storyline more.

A Dangerous Game is a sharp, suspense-driven thriller that pulls you in with a sense of unease that never lets up. Kira Shell creates a world where secrets simmer beneath every interaction and danger feels only a breath away, making this a compulsive, binge-worthy read from start to finish.
The characters are layered and unpredictable, each carrying motivations that keep you guessing. Watching them maneuver through lies, shifting alliances, and rising stakes is both exhilarating and unsettling. Shell’s pacing is excellent—short, punchy chapters, escalating tension, and twists that land with impact.
What sets this book apart is how personal the danger feels. The emotional undercurrents—fear, betrayal, trust, and the consequences of risky choices—heighten every moment. Shell balances psychological tension with real heart, making you genuinely care about what happens even as you brace for the next shock.
Gripping, clever, and full of perfectly timed reveals, A Dangerous Game is a must-read for anyone who loves thrillers that keep you on edge until the final page.
