The Kendricks help make the problems of the Washington elite disappear…but some secrets won’t stay buried.
For Tess Kendrick, a junior at the elite Hardwicke School in Washington, D.C., fixing runs in the family. But Tess has another legacy, too, one that involves power and the making of political dynasties. When Tess is asked to run a classmate’s campaign for student council, she agrees. But when the candidates are children of politicians, even a high school election can involve life-shattering secrets.
Meanwhile, Tess’s guardian has also taken on an impossible case, as a terrorist attack calls into doubt who can—and cannot—be trusted on Capitol Hill. Tess knows better than most that power is currency in D.C., but she's about to discover firsthand that power always comes with a price.

I thought that this book would be a continuation of the first in finding out who the missing player was so to speak. There was an element of that but The Long Game seemed to focus more on a different issue. I didn't mind this as it made for an interesting book but I would have liked for the book to focus solely on the unanswered questions from The Fixer. Some of the revelations were shocking and I have to admit that I was disappointed with who ended up being uncovered as a bad guy. I thought that the ending was interesting but I wish that it would have been wrapped up better unless the author left it open intentionally with the thought of writing a third book. If that is the case then I am excited to read it! I can understand why she ended it that way. It does make the book feel more realistic. All in all I really enjoyed the book and I think that I may re-read it in the future.
