Cameron Carter is excited about his summer
internship with the much-loved congressman Billy Beck. Cameron quickly befriends another intern
named Ariel Lancaster, and she tells Cameron that she has information that she
needs his help with. When Ariel is killed in a car accident Cameron finds
himself trying to uncover Ariel’s mystery anyway. With the help of a secret agent, named Memo,
Cameron starts to gather clues behind what Billy Beck has been trying to
hide.
This is a quick read with an
interesting setting and fast-paced plot.
I wanted to be drawn in more than I was, and I didn’t feel like the
mystery was that complicated, even though there are a few twists in the
end. I also didn't feel empathetic to Cameron's character. There are some kissing scenes and
deaths.
