Reviews

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

Politics is corrupt enough, but gets dangerous when two men wager that they can change the outcome of the presidential election. They get in over their heads as they approach unlikely allies to accomplish their goals. It's well-written. I like how the author provides a scene with a corrupt or otherwise not-likable character, then goes back in time to give you a more "human" glimpse as to what made the character that way. And unlike many political thrillers, this story paints both parties as having issues.
