Review: The Forbidden Game Trilogy, by L J Smith


LJane Smith is currently recieving a lot of publicity for her Vampire Diaries, which was recently made into a TV series. Forbidden Game is similar in a lot of ways to that series; young, semi-naive heroine, a 'bad guy' determined to drag her to his side, and a 'good guy' trying to save her.

Jenny is shoping for a new game for her boyfriend Tom's birthday. Ducking into a store she's never seen before, she meets a strange, blue-eyed boy who sells her something simply called The Game.


Jenny senses something off about The Game, but her friends are eager to start. Until they're sucked into the world of The Game, forced to face their worst nightmares in a world where anything is possible.

Jenny's being hunted by Julian, beautiful blue-eyed Julian the Shadow Man. He's loved Jenny for years because she is everything he isn't; light to his darkness, compassion to his cruelty. Now he's hunting her, hunting her friends, to force her to say yes to him.

All I refuse, and thee I chuse...

Jenny has some hard decisions to make. Can she say goodbye to the human world for ever-changing Julian? Can she hold onto her humanity in the face of his Game? In the end she'll have to choose, darkness or light...
