What an interesting plot. Cora's character sounds super empowering and interesting with her strong morals making her even more appealing. I would like to see what will happen, will Locke win? Will Cora be able to save Sarah? I guess I have to read the book to go find out.

I would like to follow up on the unique character of Cora Walker who held distaste for people who killed the innocent in cold blood and her own strong resolve not to kill people in cold blood. That's a unique character that is worth reading about. Am in for it and can't wait to get started.

"Second Term" by J.M. Adams is an action-packed political thriller following Cora Walker. An evidently strong female lead. Congratulations on BOTD.

Second Term has quite an exciting plot. I like that the book has a strong female main character and that there are also other remarkable female secondary characters. I can't wait to read about Cora's adventures and to learn more about her as a character. Congrats on making botd!

Really thoughtful review; your admiration for Cora’s strength and integrity came through clearly. I like how you tied her moral compass to real-life values, and the way you teased the plot without spoiling it was spot on.

I was about to refuse this book on principal, thinking it was about Trump. Fortunately, I took time to read the description and got very interested in reading the story of a strong female character, moreover, a warrior with a strict honor code and morals. Sarah isn't as interesting to me, but I am still intrigued to find out more. Congratulations with BOTD!

Second Term sounds super exciting, and I will love to read about Cora Walker, a brave hero who fights for what’s right. I enjoy stories with action, strong women, and people standing up for good.

I'm not sure if this one is for me. Political thrillers aren't my favorite genre. Buy I love strong female protagonists. The plot is gripping. I'm rooting for these women. Thank you for the captivating review.

I like a book with a strong female lead like Corah, and since this book has more admirable female characters, combined with a well-woven plot and a good dose of action and mystery, this book is a pleasure to read.

Second Term by J. M. Adam is a action driven political thriller. I love that the lead character was a highly skilled woman. Cora Walker is also a mother. She carries out her job with her moral compass with her. Therefore she only kills in self defense or to protect others. Her job is to protect American Ambassador Sarah Vasquez. This review is well written and pulls me in. I think a heroine as a protector would be a great read. A 4 star BOTD.

'Official Review: Second Term' by J. M. Adams has a vivid and appealing introduction. It describes the characters of the story. This is the story of Cora Walker, who only attacked and killed in defense when attacked. The book is a futuristic American political thriller. It was great to learn that the story's plot is intriguing and unpredictable!

This review of Second Term highlights a compelling female lead, Cora Walker, whose principles and combat skills drive a thrilling political narrative. The reviewer appreciates the action, layered characters, and suspenseful plot. While minor errors reduced the rating, the book is still praised as a gripping, character-driven political thriller.

What I love about this book is how a woman embodies those traits that are often attributed mostly to male heroes; when strength, intelligence, and a woman's delicate force combine, we can have an amazing story like this.
