This is Julian's final chance to win the game and Jenny. They end up in what looks like an amusement park. The Goal: get past the games and get out. The Stakes: if they lose Jenny is Julian's forever (if you asked me i wouldn't say that terrible) if they win Julian will leave forever. :( along they way they encounter everything from a wizard who was once a person to the heads of the creepy guys who stole the game in book one. to lion drinking fountain that bites your hed off or in this case your arm.this time they aren't just dealing with Julian the other shadow men want jenny too. The end is a real tear jerker i was crying my eyes out and i never cry. You find out that Julian isn't really bad and jenny has done more for him then you could ever imagine.
In Book one Jenny is looking for a game to play at her boyfriends, Tom's, birthday party. Scared into a mysetious shop she purchases and odd box. The players begin and are swept into a differnet world...the shadow world. Each one has to face their own fear, Ultimately with Julain, the Shadow Man( in love with Jenny and kinda like the devil) playing the part of the antagonist. Through bravery trickery all but one of the players leave.
In Book two Jenny and her friends become swpet into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Julian is leaving little clues about who he will take next. But he isnt playing fairly, hes leaving the clues to late or acting to quick upon them. IN the end Her cousin Zach and Tom are stuck in the other world.
Book three(my fav) Her,Micheal,Audrey and Dee are in over there heads when the willingly enter the Shadow World to save Zach and Tom. They run into a game, actually a treasure hunt. It's in a hallucination of a theme park Jenny used to go too. You see a whole different side of Julian, a side I fell in love with because it was such a contrast.Well that's all im going to say about the third since most people reading this havent read it yet.
I was fairly pleased with the conclusion to the series although the ending was a bit disappointing. This is probably the most well written book out of the three. I nearly cried during some of the scenes. I was also happy that Michael got some character development at last. Actually the characters in general were handled very well, especially Julian. Besides the slightly disappointing ending, the only other complaint I have is that it was far too short. The first book in the series still remains my favorite but this one comes in at a very close second. I highly recommend this series.
