Story
Being an empath has its advantages. Nineteen-year-old Harley Merlin can sense people’s emotions, among other things. It’s how she snagged her first job pinpointing cheaters at a casino. But she has no clue where she got these freakish powers because she spent her childhood jumping from home to home in the foster system, and her father left her with nothing more than a cryptic note. Then she crosses paths with a terrifyingly real monster.

One last adventure. That's all Riley wants before heading off to college and parting ways with her two best friends. Spending their last summer together on a Texas farm in the middle of nowhere isn't quite as exciting as they'd planned.... That is, until they stumble upon secrets no human should know. Men who appear and disappear. A giant wing hidden in the creek. Screams in the dead of night. Every oddity seems connected to their strange - and alarmingly attractive - new neighbors, led by the stormy-eyed Navan.

In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods. At least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won't ever be forced to present herself to them... Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world - a position that she definitely did not earn.

The gods walk among us. And they just might steal your soul...or your heart. I thought I'd survived everything life could throw at me. All I wanted was to keep my distance from the criminals I work for and get my little brother out of the hell that is our mother's house. Then I died and woke up to four stunningly hot gods telling me I'm now a valkyrie. Sly, sharp Loki. Jovial but ferocious Thor. Dreamily compassionate Baldur. Grim and secretive Hod. They all have something to teach me. And around them, my walls start to crack. But the gods didn't summon me just for kicks.

Seraph Black used to think that she was prepared for anything. She could last days without eating and she always walked away from the violent altercations with her father relatively unharmed. She survived working at the club and the drive to school every day in her mother's rust-bucket of a car...but it all changed when Noah and Cabe came bulldozing into her life, careless of the precious secrets they picked apart in their quest to take over her world. She was even less prepared for the mysterious Miro and Silas, and nothing could have prepared her for the bond. The connection.

Took a while to get into it but by the end I was hooked and will definitely be buying the second book. The narrator was good though some of the male voices were a little weird.

****not enough suspense****
They have likened it to hunger games and divergent but it fell short. its a poor cousin to those mighty books. I would loved more actions and thrills to it....but i will buy the next one just to find out what is that inside the egg. On the other hand the narrative is excellent tnx.

Good story
Reminded me of hunger games and divergent. Strong female lead. Quite a bit of gore and some science I wouldn't want my underage daughter to read just yet.
The narrator was ok, not an easy listen - especially when she does the male voices - but she tried. I was used to it by the end.
Looking forward to book !

cheesy narrator for a meh story
First of all, the narration was cheesy, unnecessarily dramatic and overdone. At first, I thought this book was okay, but it just kept getting worse. I struggled to finish and the fight scenes were narrated so hilariously that I almost laughed out loud a few times. I generally like ya fiction, and I liked hunger games. I just had trouble with the plot, it was rather boring. I knew I should be getting more excited toward the end, but I was very relieved when it was finished. it was pretty predictable, but I know I'm a good guesser. I wish the author would have stopped writing sooner, and it is rare for me to not be inclined to finish a series.

Cliche City
I essentially had the entire story figured out in the first hour of the audio book. This author could have made something really good with this story and with the main character but it's the same old convict being given a secret mission to avoid death trope.
Of course she has to pretend she's married to some dude. Of course she falls for the absolute worst person you could fall for in this scenario. Of course her life is on the line but she consistently does dumb things because love and stuff.
I struggled to get through all 10 hours. This was one of the most poorly written books I've ever been exposed to.

Hard to believe
I liked the story but it was difficult to get behind. The background of the character and the back story of the world was too far fetched to be believable. More should have been done to prop up the story of the surroundings and the why of where the settlements were and what "the green" was. Why if seemed to thrive with animal and plant life but not be a place that could be used for crops. The severity of the gender based societies took things a little farther than what I thought would be able to develop naturally. It ended up being a frustrating story thin on development of the world history, structure, and drive.

Meh
It wasn’t cohesive. The beginning of the book was an attempt to set up the storyline but it didn’t really flow through. Violet seemed a bit one-dimensional, especially considering it’s written in first person. There were mentions of a few incidents which I felt would have developed the ot further but weren’t explored. Overall, it was just ok for me.

Mediocre at best
I’m sorry, but this book is just not that good. The premise was interesting (though even as someone who is really into the effects of gender roles and whatnot, Matrus and Patrus were a whole new level of extremism) and I was looking forward to Violet’s story. But the characters were horrifyingly one dimensional, the pacing was off, and the narration was over dramatic a lot of the time, especially during fight and romance scenes. I rolled my eyes so many times during this book (particularly almost every time Violet saw Viggo and commented on some aspect of his “chiseled body”) that I thought my eyes were going to get stuck.
I really am a huge YA novel fan and I honestly don’t even need them to be of very good quality to enjoy them; they just need to keep me entertained. I thought the Gender Game would, but it honestly just irritated me. I’d skip this one y’all. It’s not worth struggling through, especially given there are 6 more books. I certainly won’t be purchasing the rest, not even if they are on sale, despite the author’s attempt at a cliffhanger at the end.

Don't pass this one by! It's a definite MUST READ!
If you could sum up The Gender Game in three words, what would they be?
Loved this book!
What did you like best about this story?
The Gender Game was packed full of all my favorite things: adventure, the angst of a (PG-13) forbidden romance, action and good vs. evil. I really loved how the author built up the main character so that everything that happened made sense and was believable. I cared what happened to Violet. I was rooting for her and felt her pain, her joy, her shock and her heartbreak. I can't wait for the next installment of this story to come out!
Which scene was your favorite?
The romance angle was built up so enticingly well, that I must admit that last romantic part was my fave. However, that was definitely not all that this book was about!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The one that got me was "For fans of Hunger Games..." I think that is an accurate tag line that a lot of people would know how to respond to.
Any additional comments?
I also really, really, REALLY enjoyed the narrator! I am a huge fan of her work. She makes the characters and the stories come to life flawlessly! <3

Average
I didn't know this was a series so was a bit annoyed to discover it was. The writing is ok. Standard for YA dystopian fiction. Characters are somewhat enjoyable. The heroine isn't completely useless but it's not going to knock your socks off. Not sure why this received such high ratings. If you're an existing fan of the author you'll probably enjoy this. I was not and found it to be a bit 'meh' and a wasted credit.

Ok, but nothing special
It tries to be like the Hunger Games, Divergent and Mazerunner...but while it is an ok story it really was nothing special and the ending was really rather disappointing.

Better than expected
More plot twists than I had been expecting for a typical YA novel. It surprised the cynic in me and I can say I felt every bit of desire instilled by the writer. Recommend!

Very enthralling from start to finish 😍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can't wait for the next one just downloaded it!👍
The narrator is fantastic even male voices, quick pace I couldn't put it down!
I love scifi, Like hunger games but a LOT less violent, apart from a little smooching quite tame if which I like about my Selection.

Great idea poorly executed
I found the concept an interesting one. A world divided by gender with different rules and expectations in both. However, the writer was sloppy, firstly in the huge unexplained plot holes to disappointing character progressions. After all the hype I was truly disappointed with the outcome
