3.0

This was a fun and fast-paced political thriller with a puzzle solving/scavenger hunt aspect that I really liked. The politics went a little over my head, but were super fascinating.

5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this. While romance is usually my genre of choice, I am glad I read this one. The twists and turns kept me entertained and I found myself wanting to race through chores so I could get back to it. It's sad that I could see the events from this story happening here. Power hungry politicians who think they are above the law in the name of "patriotism" number too many to count. Excellent story Ms. Abrams.
