The plot of this book is well done. I would like to recommend it for Young Adults, possibly middle school age but the romance makes that impossible. The book would have been better without the romance. The beginning of the plot is a bit slow but quickly picks up the pace. This is a mystery thriller that will be a hit with gamers. There are hints throughout the story for readers guessing at what will happen next.
