I am the daughter of the first female POTUS, and today is about to become the longest day of my life…
24 hours—that's how much time I have to save my mother before terrorists assassinate her. But now my father and brother are missing, too. This goes deeper than anyone thinks. Only someone on the inside would know how to pull this off—how to make the entire First Family disappear.
I can't trust anyone, so it's up to me to uncover the conspiracy and stop these madmen. Because little do they know, they picked the wrong person to terrorize.
My name is Sophie Washington, and I will not be a victim. No one, I repeat no one, is taking me or my family down. But the clock is ticking…
My Review:
Wow. I really enjoyed this book! I've read one or two of her other books, under both names, I think, and yeah, they've all been really great to read. I only found out about that when I was making this post, but before I read it, so yeah, that made me really eager to read this book. And it was so great!
I'd say that this book is a YA thriller/mystery. After all, there's the kidnapping, and there's a conspiracy, and it all lead to a very quick, tightly plotted book. And being that she doesn't know who to trust-and that she has been a part of a young spies program, makes a good recipe for investigating herself!
Things get real very quickly, there's a dead body in the first 100 pages. And it doesn't stop there. With terrorism, would you expect that? I really enjoyed watching Sophie use the spy skills she learned-and with her fellow young spies, each having different skills. They were great characters to read about!
That ending was pretty intense! And pretty heart-wrenching. You know something bad is going to happen, or it's going to cost for the good guys to succeed, but man, the cost was so high! And for what? It's kinda sad, the reason behind why this is happening.
Loved this book, it was a really great read!
