When teen reality star Anton Frazer unveils his latest stunt - a live-streamed, citywide game of Tag in which the prize is to be one of his live-in acolytes - his fans go wild. The whole world is watching.
The contestants are kitted out with body cams, GPS trackers and pressure sensors that, if activated by a competitor, will send them out of the running. They venture into night-time London to hunt each other down.
Four contestants in particular have alternative motives for being there, secret reasons to want to win despite the risk: money, revenge, obsession, and fame. And one of them will stop at nothing to be the victor at the end of this adrenaline-and-fear fuelled night...
I love the idea behind this. GPS enforced tag! Sounds like an awesome game. I'd love to give it a try (I'd probably be knocked out immediately, but that's neither here nor there.)
Sadly, there is so much backstory we don't get, I found it very hard to follow what was actually going on. Maybe it's a me problem! I'm sure other readers will have no problem. But I couldn't track who was related to who or wanting to kill who or related to who'd died how or any of it. I was - like some of the tag players - completely lost.
I do love the idea, and the writing was good. I just wasn't able to follow what was going on, but I'm sure that other readers will be, and I hope that they enjoy it.
Tag, you're Dead published on the 7 Jul, 2022 in the UK, and will publish on the 5 Dec, 2023 in the US, using the same cover. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
