A review by tarheeltegan
The Kremlin's Candidate by Jason Matthews

3.0

This was a pretty good book until the END, oh my GOD... I am so upset about how this ended!!! I see many other reviewers agree. It was a total cliffhanger and it's the end of the trilogy! I would've rather stopped at the 2nd book if it was going to end this way. The Chinese seductress was completely unnecessary, and a lot of the plot just seemed like filler compared to the other 2 books. I also, just as in the 2nd book, did not understand why Nate cheated on Domi again. Why are all the women sexless or busty and sensual? What was the point of Agnes as a character? While I enjoyed the continuation of the spy lingo, etc. this book lacked the tension of the other 2. At various points in the other 2 books I was afraid for Domi, Nate, or Gable's lives. This book was way more "meh." And, again, the END was TERRIBLE! :( :( :(
