Review: The Senator's Youngest Daughter by Kelley Rose Waller

Published: October 2016

Pages: 313

Synopsis: “Senator A.C. McFerren has been missing for more than six months. The obvious prime suspect in his disappearance is the homegrown terrorist group known as the Army of Social Justice.

Searching for her kidnapped father leads Brenna McFerren Jefferson to the terrorists’ elusive “Death of Government” headquarters, known as The Doghouse. But nosing around where the federal government won’t investigate puts a target on her family and sets in motion a rebellion she isn’t prepared to lead.

Dreams of liberty cause the Senator’s daughter to disguise herself for undercover recon, recruit a high-ranking defector, and partner with a subversive news agency that combats government propaganda. As Brenna’s strength and family ties are tested, she unites a political party that commands the power to transform the United States.”

Rating: ***

I received a free copy of The Senator’s Youngest Daughter in exchange for an honest review.

A very interesting and thought provoking read, especially taking recent events into account! Not being American, some of the politics of this book were lost on me, but I really enjoyed the family dynamic between the characters and appreciated the authentic characters themselves. There was definitely character development throughout, mainly aligned with the plot twists and surprises but this worked very well. The action scenes were well written and felt authentic. I did get confused with the different factions a lot of the time, and there were double crossing characters, which was difficult to follow at times.

I would definitely read more by Kelley Rose Waller.
