vll295's review against another edition
4.0
In this one, we are again reunited with Tess in DC. As I mentioned before in my other reviews, I love the setting for this book because it is 'home' for me. In this book, we see Tess who is helping to run one of her classmates campaigns for student council. I don't want to spoil anything, but sometimes information comes out. In addition, to the story that Tess has going on, the President's son shows up to talk with her sister. We see her sister using her "Fixer' skills again to resolve the issue that is going on behind the scenes.
The best selling point for these books is the plot. The author does a good job of keeping things moving and I appreciate that. You have to read the whole book to get the story, but you get a resolution and I appreciate that.
These books were both marketed to me as a book revision of Scandal, the TV show. I think it is a good way to go about it because I can see the similarities between the two. I enjoyed the book and I recommend it.

This book had so many twists and turns and plot twists. Kept me at the edge of my seat. I wish there was a 3rd one

This seems to be the last book in the fixer series, but it doesn't feel like the series should be over. I want more.

The political intrigue, the power moves! This book series deserves to be continued!

Holy non-stop action Batman. That was one wild and twisty ride of a read.
The plot was so well done. The unpredictable turns in the story keep the reader from getting too comfortable (or bored), while the sharp moments of betrayal are such a punch to the gut. And the tension in the story stays pitch perfect throughout the novel- high enough to keep one on edge, but not so high that you become worn out.
As with the first book in the series, the characters were nicely executed- real, flawed people, not black and white cut-outs.
Overall, I wish all sequels were so well constructed. I think I enjoyed it even more than the original.
Fingers crossed that Jennifer Lynn Barnes writes more in this series.
2019 Update:
Despite knowing how all the who's and why's, I still enjoyed rereading this novel. My only wish is that there would be another book in The Fixer series so certain bad people can get their just dues. I would especially love to see a sequel that takes place a few years in the future. Maybe one day-fingers crossed.

Tess is an exceptional character. She’s analytic, intelligent, and so insanely persistent. She stops at nothing to find the truth and protect those around her. Those who are deserving, at least. Above all else, she has her heart set on doing the right thing. She is good as she is kind, right down to her core. That being said.. I sure as shit wouldn’t want to go up against her.
The story itself was just.. Next level. Outstanding beyond words. Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a fucking artist.
