birdloveranne's review against another edition
5.0
Terrible, creepy villains. Loved the Montgomerys, and Deb and her sister. I'd have liked to see a little more at the end. I think the Warden got off too easy, and we never find out some things. I wanted to know more about the kids at the end.

This book was fine, but I was kind of bored.
Deb’s sister goes missing so she goes to Gabe for help. At the same time, Gabe is investigating the corruption in the local police. It felt like because there were these two story lines, neither was overly developed so I wasn’t really interested in either.
I didn’t really dislike Deb or Gabe, but I didn’t really like them either. They constantly blame themselves for everything and it continued until the end. Also, I thought that Deb should have stopped letting her father treat her the way he did, but that’s never really talked about.
There were scenes from other people’s POVs (Ashley’s, Ernie’s, the bad guy’s), and I didn’t find them particularly interesting.
There were other characters like Gabe’s family, but they weren’t shown enough. Also, a common theme in this series is that the family is supposedly close, but in each book it turns out that actually they know nothing about each other because of all the secrets they’re keeping.
I might still try other books by this author as even though this book was a bit boring, I liked the previous books in the series.

I received this ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.
This is the 3rd in the Montgomery brothers series, I read and enjoyed the first one months ago. I haven't read the 2nd one yet, as I hadn't seen any info about it.
Deb Lansing is a helicopter rescue pilot who goes to Gabe Montgomery for help when her younger sister, Ashley, disappears. No one but Gabe believes that she is missing, and as Deb and Gabe begin to investigate they find a series of exceptionally smart kids have been reported missing. The further they investigate, the more they realize how many people are tangled up in the mysterious disappearances and how long it has been going on.
Game of Fear was a great book. A really good storyline with a game at the core of the disappearances. A cast of great characters that are really likable. The Montgomery brothers are all strong and good guys who take care of the people around them. Deb and Ashley are strong willed women who don't give up, even when things are looking bleak.
I highly recommend this book, and series, to fans of romantic suspense. It's well written and has a great story. It really kept my attention the whole time. I look forward to reading more in this series!!
