Thank you NetGalley, Dreamscape Media and Maya Golden Bethany for this arc audiobook copy. I will be giving my honest review.
3.75 ⭐️
The story follows NYT reporter Alex Broussard and young US senator Oliver Michaels. Alex reaches out to Oliver after she receives an anonymous tip about congressmen & other powerful figures colluding in a corruption scheme. The past relationship between the two as college sweethearts adds an interesting layer to the already intriguing story. Ooh and Oliver is a former pro NFL guy which was fun.
Political thriller/suspense isn’t typically my go to but that might have to change because this had me so locked in from start to finish. The pacing and dialogue were as well suited together as the narrator was for the audiobook. The narrator was excellent at shifting her voice for the different characters or moods. Not to mention her timing was impeccably and had me not pushing higher than 1.25. GWhich seems like a small thing but it makes so much of a difference). If like me you’re a fan of Scandal and/or Erin Brokovich you’ll enjoy this storyline.

I really liked this premise but sadly I just don't think it delivered. I found myself bored and confused. The twists felt predictable and it just fell flat for me. I appreciated the chance to listen to this book, and in the future I might try another book by this author.
