It’s obvious that he knows everything we want to know, but all he does is dangle it in front of our faces, keeping his conversations eternally cryptic and secretive, filled with non-answers, though he makes sure to hint regularly at his insider knowledge. When Miki is pulled into this strange “game” where she’s told she’s on a mission to rid the earth of aliens before humanity is extinct, Jackson acts as their leader of sorts. Let’s begin with Jackson, and how his character was used in this book.

It was for sure original awesome, however, it is not. Rush starts with a bang when we’re immediately lifted into a whirlwind of a plot, one that screams originality and awesomeness up ahead. It’s not a terrible book in theory: the premise is interesting and it has a strong heroine, but its execution left me so incredibly irritated. And then the game takes a deadly and terrifying turn.Įvery single thing about this book annoyed me. Miki has only the guidance of secretive but maddeningly attractive team leader Jackson Tate, who says the game isn’t really a game, that what Miki and her new teammates do now determines their survival, and the survival of every other person on this planet. There are no practice runs, no training, and no way out.

In the game, she and a team of other teens are sent on missions to eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien creatures. When Miki Jones is pulled from her life, pulled through time and space into some kind of game-her carefully controlled life spirals into chaos.

So what’s the game now? This, or the life I used to know?
