Hellbent /adj./ very determined to do something, especially when the results might be bad.

A year has passed. Marine and security specialist Domino Taylor does not work anymore. His days and nights are spent shadowing the Lambert family; the guilt he feels for the tragic events that unfolded in western Pennsylvania haunts him without mercy.

When someone from Domino's past contacts him, she begs him to take on one last job: Find and return her kidnapped son.

Domino agrees to help, not knowing that the truth behind the kidnapping is far more sinister than anything he can possibly fathom.

It appears there is one final game to play. The host is someone who has been planning a masterpiece of epic proportions for some time now, grooming an unwitting Domino as the star, hellbent on watching him suffer before he dies....

This is the gut-wrenching finale in the best-selling Bad Games series. Author Jeff Menapace was a recipient of the 2011 Red Adept Reviews Indie Award for Horror.

Which character – as performed by Gary Tiedemann – was your favorite?

I really like Gary Tiedemann's narration and his character voices.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, not like the first two.

Any additional comments?

Spoiler: I really enjoyed most of this book. The torture of Ben and Domino got old and seemed way too much -dragging on; especially the drugging hallucinations. Otherwise, I was pleased.

Good trilogy! Keep my attention most of the time.

Good pace for a summer read. Guilty pleasure. Engrossing but great accompaniment to mundane tasks (commuting, house & yard work)!
