Why is her boyfriend Tom avoiding her – while other boys pursue her as never before? Jenny Thornton has changed. So have her friends. Because of Julian, the Shadow Man, who has returned to terrorize them with a new game, a hunting game, Lambs and Monsters. They’re the lambs, to be stalked, pounced upon, and lost to the Shadow World forevermore. The monsters are the Lurker, a ghostly wolf, and the Creeper, a phantom snake. One by one, Jenny’s friends disappear, leaving behind only a paper doll – and a riddle with clues about who will be next . . . . Jenny must find Julian’s hidden base and save her friends before it’s too late. But how can she resist the predatory prince of darkness who has returned to make her his own?

Rating: 3.5 stars to 4 starsI will be reviewing the entire trilogy at once here.
It was an interesting book, but it didn't hold my interests as well as it should have. I much preferred The Secret Circle to Forbidden Games. The book was suspenseful and well written, with good characters, and evil, that kept you on the edge of your seat.
