Description

In a dystopian world where the ultra-wealthy satisfy their bloodlust by livestreaming lethal games, survival is the only currency that matters. The Devil’s Playground is a stage where the desperate trade their lives for a chance at salvation, and the elite pay a fortune to watch the carnage unfold. Cam Weston carries the weight of a legacy that demands excellence. Born into expectation, Cam enters the arena as the family’s final hope for dominance. But the cold, calculated mission shifts the moment Cam locks eyes with Aubrey. Any hope of a controlled performance vanishes, replaced by a dangerous, all-consuming obsession that threatens to shatter the rules of the game. Aubrey isn't playing for glory; she is playing for revenge against the person who dismantled her life. She is a woman on a lethal mission, until she encounters the captivating, rugged force of nature that is Cam. Their collision in the arena sparks a raw, carnal hunger that defies the watchful eyes of their sadistic audience. As the tension mounts between them, they realize that breaking the game might require making the ultimate sacrifice. In a arena built on betrayal, they are ready to burn it all down together.

OMG! Hot!

This book is just as spicy as the first book, hide n' seek. I could not put this book down and I can't wait for the third book to come out! I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes spice with a good plot twist!

A crazy labyrinth of spice, action, gore, alliances, betrayal, oh my!!

The maze runner x escape room setting hosts a bratty bloodthirsty sabrina carpenter influencer and a thembo cowboy w religious trauma and a lasso… must I say more?? I was so immersed in the world I read it in just a few days (before and after work), and was entertained the whole time without fail. I loved all the puzzles in this one, it truly felt like a crazy reality tv episode. My only notes were wishing Cam was a bit more consistent with the southern twang diction, it would waive a bit during the spice scenes and I wanted moreee😍, and I also would’ve loved a few more interactions with the crowd/streamers/sponsors watching the race! But the ending really sealed the deal with the surprise POV chapter, which was so satisfying, really made everything come together, and was a perfect hook for the final installment. I can’t wait for Truth or Dare!

Amazing!

Rat Race was a great read. I read Hide N Seek last year, and it was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend reading Hide N Seek first before you jump into Rat Race. This book was amazing. I liked the twist and turns. I really enjoyed reading about Cam and Aubrey. This series gives me hunger games and purge vibes. Eden Emory and Ashley Pines are both amazing authors. I really enjoy their writing style. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series!
