A stunning debut novel from writer Tommy Bartholomew.

When Heath Valen steps out of Dr Abrahams office the weight of his diagnosis sits as heavy as the cancer in his lungs. Too alienated to tell his estranged wife, Katherine. Too scared to tell their two children, Tyler and Alice. Heath turns instead to a familiar anaesthetic to suppress the rising panic as mortality's cold shadow looms.

It's while drunk at a bar that he first meets Belias, a mysterious stranger who claims to offer salvation.

But at a cost...

An alcoholics delusion, or a demon who can cheat death? Heath will have to complete Belias's Wicked Games to find out.


Wicked Games, from debut author Tommy Bartholomew, is a fascinating and unique exploration of the nature of trauma, morality and addiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff.

A unique and intriguing read. Simply loved it. Except... the authors use of the word "sat". As in; was sat, we were sat etc. Is this the new English language? I found it jarring and dumb sounding as it continued through the book. But hey maybe it was supposed to sound colloquial or something. Anyway even with that, this guy twisted up an amazing yarn. This one's a solid 5.

2.0 out of 5 stars Didn’t catch me

It just didn’t catch my attention. I continued reading, hoping that the book would spark my interest. However, the writing was stilted and awkward; it was a labor to read. I gave up when the author talked about a “tumble drier” because he misused the word. Tumble dryer, not tumble drier.

An extremely interesting book and exactly like mentioned, full of trauma and morality. It makes you want to read on, wondering what will happen next. Cleverly written and the way it all comes together is brilliant. Makes you wonder what on earth is going on, keeps your brain focused and buzzing, which is why you get hooked onto it, wanting to read more. Can relate some of it to the current world and how people may be dealing with traumatic situations! Fantastic book, a must read.

Wicked Games was a fantastic read, a really enticing concept of the book, one I have not seen before. The story itself was fun to follow, start to finish, really captivating me each and every chapter. Parts of the book portray information in such an innovative way, lending so much to the story itself. Always been a fan of things that make me really have to think, this book has done that, through its clever writing and relevant concepts. Would highly recommend this book!!
