Booklist
The Forbidden Game
My other trilogies (the bestselling The Forbidden Game and the #1 New York Times Bestseller Dark Visions) are pretty straightforward, both being repackaged in single, long books by Simon & Schuster.
The Forbidden Game, Volume I: The Hunter, Pocket Books, 1994 (New York Times Bestseller!)
Jenny wants to get her boyfriend, Tom, a special game for his birthday party. However, she can’t help but be fascinated by the boy with the white-blond hair who sells her a strange game as a present. It turns out that the boy, Julian, is the youngest of those from the Shadow Lands, a race of evil beings who live invisibly just beside our own world. Once Jenny opens the game, she is in his land. Julian is determined to seduce her, but he has to work by a set of inflexible rules, only touching Jenny where she has reached for him. In the fantasy house that Julian has created, where everyone at the party must face their greatest fear, Julian himself is Jenny’s worst nightmare. . . and maybe her dream lover, as well.
The Forbidden Game, Volume II: The Chase, Pocket Books, 1994 (New York Times Bestseller!)
Jenny begins to get terrifying phone calls and soon it’s clear that Julian is loose is the real world. More and more, Jenny falls under his spell, allowing herself the freedom to do as she likes, no matter the consequences. It seems that Jenny has chosen Julian over Tom. But then her friends are disappearing, sucked into the Shadow Lands, paper dolls left in their places. Can Jenny outwit Julian without giving in to his demands entirely?
The Forbidden Game, Volume III: The Kill, Pocket Books, 1994 (New York Times Bestseller!)
Jenny returns to the place where it all began; her grandfather’s house, where as a child she first met the child-Julian. A door with a strange rune on it opens to the most fantastic creation of Julian’s of all: an empty amusement park that Jenny loved as a child. Except here, all the rides are deadly. More, Jenny must survive her confrontations with an increasingly frustrated and determined Julian. Will he really kill her if he can’t have her? Jenny forces him to make the choice—and two worlds are changed forever.

You can read a synopsis for Rematch in The Forum: Ask L. J. Smith. Are you a member? You have to be one if you want to read it ^^. You can also read a little about the sequel in a reply by L. J. Smith in Guestbook 12. ;-).
I just wanted to say that I absoloutly loved these books, they were fantastic, althought I must agree with the comment before mine by Sam F.
I have a question - even though tv has ruined the Vampire Diaries series, would you ever consider having the Forbidden Game turned into a movie trilogy?
I must say that I was rooting for Julian throughout, despite his actions! I'm a sucker for a bad boy!
I also love all your other work, please keep it coming!
As for your question: L. J. Smith has mentioned a couple of places on this site that she would love for some of her books to be turned into movies. And The Forbidden Game is one the top of the list! ;-).
lots of admiration for L.J smiths work
filicity
He was willing to risk death to protect her from the Shadow Men. I hope that in the rematch Julian is strong, powerful and not mooning.
I would like to see Julian get a fresh start, with a new girl in a new setting. It would sadden me to see Julian turn into a clingy, needy guy who can't let go and be strong enough to find someone he doesn't have to constantly kidnap.
I just wanted to ask if you know when the sequel to the forbidden games series is coming out?
I LOVE THE SERIES, you are an AMAZING author!!!!!!!!!
i really want to watch it
