Killer Politics by Norman Brewer is the sequel to the well-written Blending In. It opens with one of the chief characters of Blending In now on the run. So far, these terrorists have broken the “Muslim terrorist” mold by not targeting hard targets and sacrificing their own lives. Instead, they choose softer targets and implement complex plans which let them cause maximum damage while still making it out alive. This book was well-written and could well be a glimpse of America’s future. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and rate it 4/5.

I found myself transported into the scenes with the main character, Stickman. That is the mark of a really good book, when the author manages to make you feel like you are there, walking alongside with the main character (in this case, not a hero, but a villain).
The plot was very good, very believable, and kept moving at a rapid pace. Basically, and to not give anything away, it revolved around Stickman, a domestic terrorist who travels the country creating havoc. And his two main sidekicks. And the manhunt to try to catch them.
The tie-in with the current political situation in our country, and the President (named Tower in this case, get it?) made the book feel even more believable. The author description of "Tower" and his antics was spot on!
And the ending! It's been awhile since I have been surprised. This one did it! Bravo to the author.
This book is the second in a series. I did not read the first, but did not feel like it mattered. This book works just fine as a stand-alone novel. BUT...I will definitely be buying the first!
I read and review over 100 books a year, thanks to places like NetGalley, who kindly provides me with ARC's. This one stood out. It's great to find new authors who can offer up fresh ideas. Even better when they can really, really write. This is one of the better ones I have had the privilege to read!

Killer Politics turned out to be a struggle for me. I thought I would like it, but it didn't seem to keep me interested. Conseqquently, I gave up about 40% in. Sorry.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.
