The Long Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

3.0

Why do I keep picking scarring books? The thriller/action packed part was there, but I have no idea how Barnes could possibly top the trauma-rama of this one

Spoiler

terrorists? Wowzer.

. I'll still sell this one, but probably won't personally continue with the series :(.

I feel personally betrayed by JLB. I hated this book and loved it at the same time. very well written, lots of plot twists. and I’m so angry. how could she betray me and my buddies like that.

I’m angry Henry was a bad guy and that she fell for him. I’m angry that we don’t get to see how that plays out, specifically how she’s going to act since they have mutual best friends. I hope she eventually gets with Asher, he’s a hoot. also too immature for her but probably needed. I just want to know what she’s going to do about it all. How is she going to spend so much time with Henry and never speak to him. SO MANY QUESTIONS. and truthfully I didn’t hate William Keyes as much as I expected to. he has growth

. 

but I feel like it’s not concluded. idk if she ever will write another of this series, but she easily could continue it. 

it truthfully probably deserves a higher rating but I’m so angry right now I can’t. (okay I raised it .25)

5 stars!!

Yes, I read this and book #1 all in the same day. It was just so good! I loved The Fixer, and I loved The Long Game even more. Even though

Spoiler

Henry absolutely broke my heart

, the suspense was top tier and the whole story was incredible. Absolutely loved the duology and wish she wrote a 3rd one, as the ending kind of hinted toward another book.
