The Long Game is everything that The Fixer is and more. More suspense. More drama. More at stake than ever before. Every time something big would happen in the book I just couldn't believe it! And then it would escalate father than I could have ever anticipated... and then that escalated even more. I was literally tense while reading this book. I dreaded knowing what would come next but I couldn't stop reading! I had to know! Even now I can't believe how amazing this book is. It surpassed all my expectations, which is saying something considering how much I love the first book.

All the characters that I love from the first book are back and it's great seeing them in action. The book starts with Tess, Henry, Asher, and Vivvie doing what they do best: blackmailing a powerful person for the right reasons. Asher makes everything hilarious and Tess is as brilliant as ever. But like I said, things get more intense after that. These relationships grow and change throughout the book as events happen and all I can say is that it is completely believable. The same can be said about Tess's relationships with her grandfather, Ivy, and Adam. I love all these characters and the author writes such complex and interesting relationships that are beautiful and sad all at once.

One of the things that makes this book so intense is because it all feels so real. The events in the book are scarily possible and I really couldn't believe the places this story went. The events were handled in a believable manner and Tess's ability to deal with the them as a teenager was realistic as well. I really couldn't respect this series any more than I do right now. I believe this to be one of the best YA series going on right now. THERE BETTER BE A THIRD BOOK!!!

The Long Game is a non-stop, high-stakes, political thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. If you love The Fixer than you will no doubt love this sequel. This is a book to move to the top of your to-reads list. ( )

Holy cow, this book is a roller coaster. ( )

Such a good and fast pace read. So many twists and turns that shocked me. It does deal with terrisom but overall i loved seeing these characters again and loved learning more about these characters. These story was much more complex and overall so a cool read. I can't wait to see what happens next. ( )

Furiously fast-paced political drama, with Tess back at the center of the action. Things that are hard for me to deal with -- the cynical truths of Tess' world (probably things are much worse in the real world, but I'm pretty good at self deception), the the graphic deaths of high schoolers. Active shooters in a school and a hostage situation -- that stuff is too close to our everyday, and I read to escape. I may or may not follow further adventures. ( )
