The Long Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
5.0
*I was granted access to this title through NetGalley in return for an unbiased review.*
She did not just end like that. I can deal with the body count. I'm OK with all the plot twists and revelations. I am not OK with the sudden ending. I am not OK with waiting another year.
Injustice. Social media. Terrorists. Murders. Hostages. Conspiracy. Class officer elections. Betrayal. It's just another week at Hardwicke Academy for Tess Kendrick Keyes, daughter of one of DC's most powerful "fixers" (and granddaughter of another), and her friends Vivvie, Henry, and Asher. The group is still reeling from the high-profile deaths of Vivvie's father and Henry's grandfather, but it only gets stickier - and bloodier.
This book. I couldn't put it down. It's as much a mystery/thriller as John Grisham or Michael Crichton, but it targets a teen audience. Tess and Co. are strong but vulnerable, smart and likable. And in their world, everything goes, anything is possible. Fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes should be lining up NOW for this book, the sequel to The Fixer. Not yet a fan? This series and her series The Naturals are great places to start.
