About this ebook
Five friends. One reunion. One bloodbath.
The reunion of five friends quickly descends into carnage in Richard Laymon's terrifying novel Blood Games. Perfect for fans of Dean Koontz and Joe Hill.
They meet for one week every year, five young women, best friends since college, in search of fun and thrills. Each year they choose a different place for their reunion. This year it's Helen's choice, and she chose the Totem Pole Lodge. Bad choice.
The Totem Pole Lodge is a deserted resort hotel deep in the woods with a gory, shocking past. Helen has a macabre streak and she can't wait to tell her friends all about what happened at the lodge and why it's now abandoned. But Helen and the others are in for a nasty surprise. The resort isn't quite as deserted as they think. And not all the gruesome events at the Totem Pole Lodge are in its past. The worst are still to come...

I found this very enjoyable & fun, the characters were likable & the plot
or rather the location in where the story is set intriguing. My main gripe
with this though would be that although the girls where great & kicked
ass!! You never really felt as though they were in much peril. I also
thought that this could have been a lot darker with more deaths involved.
This was also written very much from a sexual perspective not saying that
in a bad way as such, but it wouldn't necessarily be to everybodys taste.
