It’s either break the rules or die.

Miki Jones lives her life by her own strict set of rules, to keep control, to keep the gray fog of grief at bay. Then she’s pulled into the Game, where she—and her team—will die unless she follows a new set of rules: those set by the mysterious Committee.

But rules don’t mean answers, and without answers, it’s hard to trust. People are dying. The rules are unraveling. And Miki knows she’s being watched, uncertain if it’s the Drau or someone—something—else. Forced to make impossible choices and battling to save those she loves, Miki begins to see the Committee in a glaring new light.

And then the Game crosses a new boundary, pushes harder into Miki’s and her friends’ lives, and there’s nothing in the rules that can save them now.

Push is the sequel Rush fans will be screaming for.

I have to admit, I am not much of a gamer. And I really do not like reading about something I am not interested in but I am glad I did with this series! Part of my reading goal this year was to pick books I wouldn’t normally read and The Game series is one of them. With the packed action and many twist plots, Push had me on edge.

As I mentioned before, I am not much of a gamer and The Game series is well, about a game. But the world of this game is pretty amazing. Fighting against aliens always involves actions. And Push didn’t disappoint because it’s packed with actions! This is the reason why I am glad I read these books because there is not one page that doesn’t involve action. There is always something going on. Even though I felt like Rush is more packed with action, I felt Push is the book in which we get to understand Mikki. Rush was more an introductory to the game and Push is the one that tells you more about her life. We get to see how Mikki starts learning to comes out of her shell and becomes alive. She starts making impossible choices and at the end this comes rewarding.

As much as I am a fan of actions, I am also a fan of romance. I felt Push had the right amount of romance mixed with this packed action game. And I just love Jackson and his adoring face. This book had me on edge and swooning. Double the fun! But like in every series, there is always a cliffhanger! Push left off on a revelation and I cannot wait to find out more!
