Rush (The Game #1)
by Eve Silver
Release Date: June 11, 2013
Publisher: Harper Teen
Summary from Goodreads:
So what’s the game now? This, or the life I used to know?
When
Miki Jones is pulled from her life, pulled through time and space
into some kind of game—her carefully controlled life spirals into
chaos. In the game, she and a team of other teens are sent on
missions to eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien
creatures. There are no practice runs, no training, and no way out.
Miki has only the guidance of secretive but maddeningly attractive
team leader Jackson Tate, who says the game isn’t really a game,
that what Miki and her new teammates do now determines their
survival, and the survival of every other person on this planet. She
laughs. He doesn’t. And then the game takes a deadly and terrifying
turn.

#1:
He
smiles, a faint curve of his lips that reveals the barest hint of a
long dimple carved in his right cheek. “No, but I can read your
expression. And I’ve been doing this long enough that I know what
most people tend to think when they first open their eyes.”
“Doing
what
long enough?”
“This,”
he says, and nothing more.
A
second of silence stretches into two. Though I can’t see behind his
glasses, I have the feeling he’s not looking at me anymore, that
he’s scanning the area, looking for…something. But as I stare at
him, I
see me—tiny distorted reflections of me in the shiny, convex
lenses.

#2:
I
stare at the things in front of me: the Drau. I can’t look away.
Somewhere
in the back of my mind, I remember Jackson talking about Medusa.
Don’t
look at their eyes.
Their
mercury eyes.
They’re
poison.
They
will kill me.

#3:
Color
and sound explode, too bright, too loud. Even the air on my skin
feels like it’s too much. My fingers go lax. The bag’s handle
slides down my palm, then along my fingers to the tips, impossibly
slow. The world tips and tilts and I flail for balance.
Luka
grabs my hand and holds tight.
I
blink. My house, my open front door, Dad, they’re all gone. My
breath comes in short gasps and every muscle in my body feels like
it’s knotted up tight.
I’m
standing in a grassy clearing bounded by trees.
The
lobby.
We’ve
been pulled.
