Goodreads: When a series of devastating cyber attacks rock the United States, Hayley Chill is tasked by the “deeper state” to track down their source. NSA analysts insist that Moscow is the culprit, but that accusation brings plenty of complications with Hayley directing the president as a double agent against the Russians. With increasing pressure on the president to steer him towards a devastating war, it’s up to Hayley to stop the mysterious computer hacker and prevent World War III—while also uncovering some shocking truths about her own life.
Kritters Thoughts: The second in a series and I will quickly advise that I believe you should start at book one - Deep State, as there is a whole plot that you will want to know before you even start this book.
Now that you have been warned, I will dive in with my review.
Hayley Chill is perfectly positioned inside the White House and very close to the President to help the deep state get what they want and fast. She is on a mission until it is quickly derailed by someone infiltrating the inner workings of a few different essential places and businesses.
If you can't tell I am being cautious in what I write in this review because this is such a suspenseful read and I don't want to spoil one thing.
As far as my reading experience of this book, it had been a year and a half since I had read book one and I definitely forgot some of the plot points of book one and this book didn't completely bring the reader up to speed, so I had to go back and refresh before diving in. This made my reading a little slow in the beginning because I was trying to remember the ins and outs from book one, but once I was in, I was in and this was a crazy roller coaster ride til the end.
I think this book ended on a note where book three is inevitable and I will not so patiently wait until it arrives!
Rating: definitely a good read, but can't read two in a row
