Deadly Little Games by Laurie Faria Stolarz book review

4 of out 5 stars

Deadly Little Game
Author:  Laurie Faria Stolarz
Publisher: Hyperion
Jacket design: Elizabeth H. Clark
Jacket art: Melody Cassen
Pages:297

HIGH SCHOOL juniors Camelia and Ben have discovered a powerful bond:  they both possess the power of psychometry, the ability to see the future through touch.  For Ben, the gift is frightening liability.  When he senses a strong threat or betrayal , he risks losing control.  Camelia's gift is more mysterious.  When she works with clay, her hands sculpt messages her mind doesn't yet comprehend.
Before either one has a chance to fully grasp their abilities, a new danger surfaces, but this time, Camelia is not the target.  Adam, a familiar face from Ben's past, is drawn into a puzzle he can't solve....and his life is on the line.  As the clues pile up, Camelia must risk losing Ben or do nothing and suffer the consequences.  But in these games, who can be trusted.

My Review:

Deadly Little Games is the 3rd in the Touch series.  Cam and Ben are together but still having issues in their relationship.  Cam is starting to hear voices and sculpting odd things for a girl with a boyfriend.  Ben is still avoiding touching people so he doesn't predict anything.  In the first class in the book Cam is sculpting, and starts sculpting Adam's lips (Ben's worse enemy and her ex) and Cam can't stop thinking about him.  This prompts Cam to get in touch with Adam at his college to see how he is doing.  At first everything seems fine.  Camelia goes to Detroit to visit her Aunt in a loony bin and see that her aunt has painted a picture of Adam.Maybe aunt Alexia isn't crazy after all.  She warns Camelia not to leave Adam alone his life depends on it.  The closer she gets to Adam the further Ben goes.  Will she help Adam and lose Ben? Or will she leave Adam alone to save her relationship with Ben?  Book 4 comes out in December and I can't wait.
