Life has it all.
Welcome to End House.
All may enter.
The house is dark,
but we are waiting for you.
Follow the candles down the dark
hallway and take the stairs to the basement.
Surprises are in store for you.
Would you like some wild animals or
a pit into nothingness?
We have that and much more.
THE DEAD love their games.

Pain.
Longing.
Hurt.
Never end.
Happiness.
Fun.
Surprises.
Never end.
Life has it all.
Candles fill the night.
Candles light the way.
Down the long corridor.
Past leering portraits.
Peeling wallpaper.
A door to the basement.
Slippery stairs.
One hanging lightbulb.
Door locks.
Basement fills with water.
Pointy traps fall from the ceiling.
Followed by circular saws.
A nightmare?
No.
A night at End House in Oasis.
THE DEAD GAME
The stairs are slippery.
The lights flicker.
All goes dark.
The door behind us slams shut.
It’s locked.
There’s no place to go but down.
Down to the basement of End House.
The deserted house,
overlooking the crashing waves
of the Atlantic Ocean.
You can hear the waves hitting the house.
A pool of water covers the floor.
Are the ocean waters entering the house?
Are we in for more surprises?
What is that sound?
Creaking noises are coming from above.
Metal cages with pointy edges
are descending from above.
Circular saws soon follow,
searching for our heads.
What do we do now?
THE DEAD GAME has begun.

Review
Susanne Leist debut novel The Dead Game is a gripping, terror filled read from the opening! Linda moves to the small, quaint ocean front town Oasis located along Northern Florida’s coastline. She paints a picturesque scene reminding me of Neptune Beach or any beach further North, I’m a North Florida resident, with the exception of the hill but it’s a book and anything can happen and in this fabulous read it does. As breathtaking as Oasis is the town is full of evil. Protagonist Linda opens a small bookstore and makes friends with all the other young adults in town. There is a distinct separation between the young and the older residents who live on the hill and have creepy green windows. All the young townsfolk are invited to a party at End House, the ultra creepy house at the end of the hill. The spooky fun and games begin here.
The Dead Game is filled with nonstop surprises that kept my toes curled. When I thought they had solved and ended one dilemma another popped up. Deadly twists and turns wreak havoc on the residents of Oasis as supernatural creatures play horrifying games.
Did I mention the vampires? I love supernatural reads and don’t want to read something that’s been done before. Susanne’s take on vampires is fresh and new but you’ll have to read to know. She takes the age old vampire legend and turns it into something I’ve never read before piquing my intrigue. I don’t believe in giving away spoilers but I will say this novel is left with a cliffhanger that has me hungering for a sequel.
Absolutely addicting!
