The Forbidden Game (The Forbidden Game #1-3)
But as Jenny and her six friends begin to play the Game at Tom's birthday celebration, a night of friends and fun quickly turns into a night of terror and obsessive love. Because the Game isn't just a game - it's the seven friends' new reality, where Julian reigns as the Prince of the Shadows.
One by one the friends must confront their phobias to win the Game. To lose the Game is to lose their lives. And that is only the beginning...
Oh my poor little heart, I love Julian to piece.(view spoiler)[And the end made me cry my heart hurt. ugh. He love her that much, why it has to be like this! why Why WHY??? *sobs* (hide spoiler)] Proper review to come...Anyway, why you have to read this? Julian. One word, nuf said.
I originally read this during my L.J. Smith phase when I was a teenager. Rereading books from your childhood is always problematic, and this book emphasized that for me. I remember adoring this, but during my most recent reading? Eh, not so much.First up, it reminds me strongly (especially Book 1) of David Bowie's Labyrinth...Man with long white hair and blue eyes kidnaps the girl he's obsessed with and takes her into his dream/shadow world where she has a limited amount of time to get out and
Rating: 2.5/5 stars to be precise.Full review (or maybe a rant) will be updated as soon as school holiday starts. Update as promised Let's me start off with the prose of the three books. I don't like it. To me, the prose was just adequate, annoying at times, even. Upon reading the books, I found the style to be quite childish- I know that the trilogy is YA but it seems to me that it aims more towards tweens. When I was reading the book, it gave off a nostalgic vibe and kinda transported me back
O. MY. GOSH.my life is complete now that i have read this book.My absolute favorite character was Julian, he brought an essence of scariness but hotness to it all.Hated tom, and i wanted to slap Jenny every time she thought about him.I bawled so freaking hard at the end of the book, (my mascara was running)I wish Julian and Jenny could have been together.This is my all time favorite book!
I hate this book so much that I love it. Who in their right mind would make Jenny like Tom and not Julian?!? Julian is fantastic while Tom comes off as a strange chauvinistic pig. I love Julian. He's like a small, cute child who keeps getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
I read this in 7th grade, in just a few days. I remember sneaking it into school and reading it during English class, feeling like such a nerd rebel. Now that I'm older, it kind of reminds me of Labyrinth, with David Bowie. A chick and all her friends get swept up into a deadly game because some hot evil magic guy has fallen in love with her and wants to make her his "Queen of Shadows" and will do anything to win her. Why that's such a problem is beyond me...Summary is kind of stupid, but the

Buddy re-read with the beautiful Karly! Late November-ish December 1.Julian rules. FYI.Review:All right, here's the thing. I love this series SO MUCH. I've loved it for at least sixteen years. I will never not love it.I can't write a proper review for this; it would just be me gushing about how awesome it is (and how much I hate Tom). Although I am sure this series has faults (haha, no it doesn't), I am fully able to ignore them and enjoy the story time and time again.
