Crash (The Game, 3)

I really enjoyed this book. I can't get enough of this gripping writing-style.Though this book wasn't as thrilling as Rush and Push. I think the reason is mainly because the first half of the book was… how to put it… not slow or boring but compared to Rush and Push… nothing much happened in the first half. It was mostly focused on Miki and Jackson being in the hospital and Miki trying to navigate between her panic and depression, can't stop worrying and thinking about her dad and Carly.While I understand the importance of it, I think it took too much from the book. And from Miki, who needed her focus more than ever.But the action was on in the second half of the book. I didn't feel the same rush I felt in books 1 and 2 but I still really enjoyed it.*spilers from now on. don't continue reading unless you've read Crash*Throughout the book I was constantly terrified Jackson was going to die. Eve Silver doesn't seem to me like the kind of author who kills the main character or the main character's love interest *a spoiler to allegiant. You are not allowed to read it unless you read allegiant or got the *big spoiler* for that book: *spioler* but neither did Veronica Roth until she did it and destroyed my trust *spoiler*The scene on the bridge put me on edge. It really seemed like he was going to die. He almost did die.But then Luka died.Luka:It wasn't a big shock that he turned out to be some sort of spy, But I didn't suspect him in book 1 and 2 at all. I started to suspect he was hiding something when he and Miki ate alone in her house.It's hard to blame him. It was more or like a situation of: either spy or die.Even when Miki and Jackson felt betrayed, I knew that in time they would have forgiven him.I wasn't connected to him enough that his death would have affected me like if Jackson died, but I liked his character. He was always there to help Miki. He would be missed in the new team.Lien and Kendra:I disliked them in book 2. But they really started growing on me on this book and I found myself wishing them not to die during that horrific bridge scenario.I was glad to hear they both joined the new team. Giving how terrified they both were in book 2… they really came a long way.Tyrone:We don't know him that much so there isn't much to say about him but I always liked him. Whenever Richelle was mentioned in the book my heart went for him.Miki and Jackson:Their relationship is one of my favorites. I loved that they didn't fight during this book. It's not that they didn't have arguments – Miki and Jackson who aren't arguing aren't Miki and Jackson at all - But their feelings for each other were obvious. They were united, a team, partners.In the midst of all the angst and the action they created their own moments… beautiful and sweet moments.Before I'll reach the ending, there are 2 things I found myself wondering about:1. Kelley. I might not have thought much about her after we found out Luka was the spy but… I couldn't stop thinking about her odd behavior. Even if it was just the author's way of leading us off Luka's trail, her behavior was still too odd; she was suddenly watching Miki constantly (when she didn't bother with her before), talking to her like they are friends (when they are definitely not), and the part that I can't shake off: the last time Miki saw Kelley, when she had that blank look on her face and kept repeating the things they said.I'm probably reading too much into it but I can't shake off the feeling this might be important.2. it's not as important as number one but we never got an answer for it. when Miki's dad suddenly slipped into an unexpected coma, Miki was positive it was the committee, but we were never told whether it was something medical or the committee with their mind tricks.The important thing though is that her father's O.K. at the end of the book.The ending:I'm still pondering about it.It's the last book in the trilogy but the ending sure doesn't say that.It isn't a happily ever after exactly and not quite a bitter-sweet one. It feels like the book before the last in a series. But the author said it's the last book so I'm not sure what to make of it.I'm happy that Jackson and Miki are happy and together, but until almost the end I thought they would be safe in the real world. I never expected the committee to be alive and kicking and them having to form a group to stop them. I'm glad that they did and didn't simply let them go after everything they did but until the committee is defeated… Crush doesn't feel like the end.Not to mention Carly hasn't woken up yet and Kelley's weirdness.All this makes me wonder if Eve is planning a continuation to the trilogy or some sort of spin-off. Or maybe her plan is to just leave things open like that?Hopefully not.All in all, I really enjoyed Crush. This trilogy is one of my favorites.I'll be waiting now for Eve's next book.

Crash by Eve Silver: 7/10

Did I Like It: Yes. Just not as much as the first two books, but you know. Jackson. ;)

 I just wanted something...more. The first two books were action-packed with a lot of interesting twists and turns. This one was just kind of bland. But I loved Miki and Jackson's relationship throughout all three books; it's refreshing to see a relationship where both of the characters are equal partners. Still, a solid ending to a fantastic series.For Fans Of: Sci-fi, even dystopian. This book will really appeal to fans of The 5th Wave.

In all the book series I have read this has to be the BEST ENDING in writers history, I love how the climax seemed to last till the very end, it kept me reading for answers and made me ask questions. It is mind blowing how the author eve silver could of ever fit in all these plot twists and major changes in the story of Jackson and Miki in less than 400 pages.

Very interesting plot, and author did a good job of keeping action and momentum in the story.

All three books in this series are outstanding. Couldn't put them down. Highly recommended for readers of all ages. Interesting characters and story.

This was a great finish to a superb trilogy. I liked the rich themes and the believable world building, and I appreciated the acknowledgement of the impact of depression and PTSD.

A great story for action and adventure that may also spark the interests of helpless romantic such as myself.

Final chapter in The Game trilogy by Eve Silver.An exciting, but violent and sad (frustrating?) conclusion with most questions answered. Somewhat of a cliche.Books 1 and 2 were the best of the series.

I have read the three books back to back. Absolutely brilliant concept fora series. The main characters are so real you begin to feel you are there with them fighting side by side, although I must admit that it had already dawned on me the truth of the games but nonetheless still had me flying through the emotional rollercoaster ride of the story . Books ate aimed st teen syfi fans but I'm a bit older but just loved the books and suggest science fiction fans of any age read them. Well worth reading.

Looks great

The story is goob but the ending is a little rushing. I would have love to have fifty more pages just so slow down a bit in the explication
