The Game of Death is the first book in a paranormal horror trilogy on par with the best we've seen within YA.
Sixteen-year-old Rebekka is looking forward to the annual motorcycle summer vacation with her father. But plans change abruptly when her father dies in an accident, just after a big quarrel between them. Filled with guilt and despair, Rebekka visits the Barn, her father’s car repair shop where he helped troubled kids put their lives back together. Among old vintage cars and tools, she finds a spirit board. Hoping that this may bring her in contact with her father, Rebekka uses the spirit board, which opens up a number of strange and frightening events. In addition, Rebekka receives a surprising message: Her father’s death was not an accident, he was killed. Suddenly Rebekka faces a mystery that is far greater and more complicated than she could have imagined.
The Game of Death explores existential issues around death and love, loneliness and grief, faith and belonging. Belonging to oneself, to other people, and to something greater outside oneself. Is it possible that our lives are woven together with past lives, allowing old curses to haunt us and giving love left unspoken another chance?

"Spennende om åndene blant oss".
Elvedal er "god til å skape en billedlig forestillingsverden en suges inn i. For leseren dras inn i jentas tanker som hvileløst tumler av gårde".
"Elvedal kan håndverket sitt godt og balanserer elementene fint mot hverandre. Med mange spenningstopper og korte kapitler er det opplagt at romanen skal leses fort."
"Språklig er boka lett og ujålete, teksten er fortrolig, alt er liksom så velkjent og dagligdags. Det kan være her Elvedals manuserfaring kommer til sin rett".
