Format: Kindle Edition
The opening pages of "The Dead Game" grab you at the ankles and drag
into the deeper story. There is something painfully wrong about the
seemingly perfect town of Oasis. Without getting into spoilers, here's
my take. Leist's cast of characters are interesting in and of
themselves. They do leave you wanting to get to know them better; yet,
as in real life you only get to see the sides and masks that others want
you to see. That, to me, was the author's point. Everyone in Oasis
seems to have an agenda, and it's hard to know what to believe. With
that in mind, Leist does a great job of bringing to life the picturesque
town of Oasis, and the menacing End House. The book is reminiscent of
tales like "House on Haunted Hill," yet with its own twists on the
supernatural thriller. The story is well-paced and the dangers faced by
Leist's characters feels terrifyingly real. All in all, a good read. I
look forward to reading more works from this author.
