Who knew gypsies could be so hot?

I was immediately drawn into this book by the novelty of the "Traveler clan" of which Shay and his brother Jimmy Boy are a part. I had no experience with Irish-American Gypsies, and the author created the village and clan hierarchy seamlessly for readers, letting us easily understand the stakes at play in Shay's world.

The "long game" that Shay undertakes will draw in any readers of the new adult category immediately as he works to gain the trust of a savvy -- though potentially sheltered -- coed named Spencer, the daughter of his target. Their relationship feels authentic and is a rewarding read.

This is a quick read that pulls readers along from chapter to chapter. Well-written and unique, I highly recommend The Long Game! ( )

What an absolutely amazing read! The story was fun and engaging. Well-written and entertaing. Thoroughly enjoyed the conflict between one's loyalty to their family and their past versus a loyalty to themself and what could be the beginning of their future. While I've read some really great books lately, this was the first that I felt frustrated that there were no more chapters...yet. ( )
