A good addition to the series

More of the same with a more political twist. Does give glimpses into the variety of people on Purge night. If you like the others you'll like this one.

So so so so so so good! As a big geek myself I totally loved this, it was just a brilliant story and something great to read in the current political climate to get away.

I really enjoyed this book. It gave an interesting perspective on modern American politics. By modern I mean 1900 on pretty much. Money over people. It may be a bit to political for some people.
