Rules Of The Game: Book 1

Cast & Note

Hey readers!! <3

Thank you all SO much for all of the love that this story has gotten over the years. I'm floored by how many people this book has reached, and everyone's support means the WORLD to me.

If I thanked everyone who added this story to their reading lists, voted on their favorite chapters, or left comments, I'd be one busy person! Instead, accept my gratitude here: THANK YOU!!

Without further ado, enjoy the story!

There are points in the story when the characters discuss vehicles, speak in secondary languages, play/discuss football, etc. Unfortunately, I am not a walking Wikipedia, so all of my information comes from Google.

Translations might not line up exactly or I might have gotten information wrong somewhere. Take heart that I really did try my best, though!

Additionally, I want to say that it is always my priority to represent human kind appropriately & accurately. You will notice that there are a lot of characters that fall in a lot of controversial categories that me, as the author, doesn't fall into. With that being said, I do want to represent these categories as well as I can.

It is NEVER my intent to offend anyone or to be viewed as ignorant. I will apologize in advance for any issues or mistakes that may pop up in the story. Please feel free to respectfully comment to correct me, or privately message me if there is an issue. I am always willing to learn & accept feedback.

But, with all of that being said, just because a character in the story may be racist/homophobic/etc doesn't mean that me, as the author, feels that way.

All of these characters are fictional, and karma is a sharp-toothed monster to some of them... 😉

Below are the main characters for this story.  These pictures are guides for how I personally view and describe everyone, but it can be different to whatever you imagine!
These images were pulled off of Pinterest, so all credit goes to those photographers.

  ***TW FOR THE STORY***
if racial & gay slurs, cursing, drugs, smoking, underage drinking, fighting, vomit or the use of strong/descriptive/spicy sexual language is offensive to you, please proceed to the story with caution or exit for your well-being.

Happy reading! <3
