Wow, I don't usually read fantasy but I find the plot of this book fascinating... being brought into a fantasy world of a game. Glad you enjoyed it and great job on the review!

From the cover, it already conveys some message this attractive view made me admire reading the book which I will eventually read, the review shows characters with different races which motivates many. The language is brilliant.

You did an excellent job on this review and it was very insightful. The story actually doesn't sound too bad to me, and I usually don't care for fantasy books. However, if there are detailed sex scenes, then I don't know if I would enjoy that too much. I prefer cleaner romance books with very little to no sex scenes. Thank you for this review, it was very helpful to me.

A paranormal romance with teens becoming the heros of their own fantasy game sounds intriguing. Definitely checking this one out.

Great review. I love books that have love triangles. The cover is also amazing. I think I'll surely try this one.

The cover drew me in, but I'm not quite sure I would enjoy it. The love triangle might be the huge cliché I hoped the author would avoid. It sounds very interesting otherwise as it allegedly contains unique species and races. Thank you for the detailed review.

Interesting plot, almost like Jumanji, where the characters get sucked into their board game. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for this review, which gives a clear impression of the book. I find paranormal romance hit and miss; it sounds as if there is more "hit" here in terms of the character development and world building.
