This book was so crazy and so good! Review to be posted soon."You said we should let go of the past, but I don't know if the past will let go of me." 
 (p 195) 
 I don't even know where to begin. This book was amazing. It was crazy, mysterious, thrilling, creepy and confusing, but in a good way. I could not put down this book, I just had to figure it out. While I did figure out some things, I definitely did not see that ending coming. 
 The Vanishing game is a thriller with a touch of paranormal in it. The book was pretty creepy for me with all of the mysterious happenings, but I wouldn't say it was scary. The book has quite a few flashbacks in it, and while I don't normally like this style, it works in this book. It's all important information, and given at the right time. 
 This book is filled with codes and puzzles, which is cool. What I disliked about the codes was that, with the exception of one, they were not really designed for the reader to figure out, and the characters figured them out pretty quickly. Though I will admit that I did take the time to figure out the logic puzzle (those are my favorite). 
 I liked Jocelyn and Noah, even more so as you learn about their childhoods. They both had such awful childhoods, yet they managed to pull themselves out. It was heartbreaking to read about how they were treated. Hazel, the owner of Seale House was an awful, awful, woman. You get to meet a few of the other kids who were at Seale House with Jocelyn, Jack and Noah, and see how they turned out. 
 One of the things I really liked in this book was how quickly you jump into the story. Lately I've felt like every book I've read has had 100 pages of boring info before getting to the real story so it was nice to be just tossed in and sent on my way! 
 If you like mysteries and thrillers you should definitely check out this book - it was Amazing!
