A gripping debut novel about a survival reality show gone wrong that leaves a group of strangers stranded in the northern wilds
Four strangers and six weeks: this is all that separates Mara from one life-changing payday. She was surprised when reality TV producers came knocking at Primal Instinct—the survival school where she teaches rich clients not to die during a night outdoors—and even more shocked to be cast in their new show, Civilization. Now she just has to live off the land with her fellow survivors for long enough to get the prize money.
Whisked by helicopter to an undisclosed location, Mara meets her teammates: The grizzled outdoorsman. The Eagle Scout. The white-collar professional. And Ashley, the beautiful but inexperienced one who just wants to be famous. Mara’s unusual, rugged childhood has prepared her for the discomforts and hard work ahead. But trusting her fellow survivors? Not part of Mara’s skill set.
When the cast wakes one morning to find something has gone horribly wrong, fear ripples through the group. Are the producers giving them an extra challenge? Or are they wrapped up in something more dangerous? Soon Mara and the others face terrifying decisions as “survival” becomes more than a game.
A provocative exploration of the comforts, rituals, and connections we depend upon, Small Game is a gripping and poignant story about finding the courage to build a new life from the ground up.

The reason I rate the story 3 stars is because the ending never felt satisfying. The whole book causes the reader to care about the characters, to invest in their dreams and reasonings only to have that go nowhere. I get maybe that's the point, that sometimes (especially with tales of survival) stories don't have a satisfying ending. But this is fiction, I want a some sort of closure.
HOWEVER!!! Blair is an excellent writer and the story is really well crafted. The characters are believable, unlikeable at times, and yet you, as the reader, care for them. You want them to succeed, even if you don't agree with them.
Definitely give this one a listen, the reader is fantastic!
As a huge fan of Blair...
