Why Did I Read? I have been anticipating this since I read The Fixer last year! There were questions that needed to be answered! My Thoughts: (There will be no spoilers for The Long Game but may be a SLIGHT–very very slight– spoiler for The Fixer in my review!) I really enjoyed The Fixer, I thought it was a great political intrigue thriller and kept me glued to the pages. However, its sequel just plain blew it out of the water! I’m not sure what […]
The Sound: I was not a fan of the narrator. There was this odd lilting tone that made it sound like the MC was super whiny all the time. During the voices for other characters, it was fine but since the book is in first person, all the inner dialogue and well, everything when other people weren’t talking, just GRATED on me.

She really brought to life all the secondary characters. I think my enjoyment level would definitely have taken a dive if I had read and not listened to it on audio. The Story: That being said, while I enjoyed the audio narration, the story was a little […]

My Thoughts: So basically I should go watch Veronica Mars and Scandal ASAP because I really enjoyed this one! And if those two comparisons are accurate, then I bet I’d love those shows too! In The Fixer, Tess is shuttled off to live with her sister in DC. The change is abrupt and she’s not a fan of […]
Why Did I Read? I have heard so many raving things about this one! I loved mystery books when I was younger and Sherlock as the boy next door? I was hooked. My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this one! It’s really unique, it’s set in Melbourne, Australia so for me, it was interesting to be put in a different location. There were definitely some terms I wasn’t used to at first so that took a bit to be acclimated to […]
