Black Swan Rising by author Lisa Brackmann is like reading an expose' from today's headlines. It was a bit scary to know how easily anyone can be the target of cyberbullying and the target of a hate group. I did feel uncomfortable with some of the language in the story. That made it hard for me to read, although I do know there are some people who use these offensive words, I do not want to read them. I almost stopped reading the book because of that but decided to push on through.
Sarah Price works for the campaign of a California senator, and she has a secret in her past which she has tried to put behind her. She receives offensive and harassing emails from an unknown source. She must find out who is doing this and the motive. Could the sender possibly know her secret?
Casey Cheng is a reporter who was shot during a cruel mass shooting in San Diego. As she heals she decides to learn more about this shooter. Hey, if she had to suffer, she might as well get a good story out of it, right? as she digs through information and investigates, there are other events of shootings, or small car bombs, senseless violence directed at what seems to be everyday people. The violence heats up and targets the political committee and the media as the election date nears.
Layers of political agendas, movement of dark money, extremist political language, all intertwine to expose a very dark subject in an interesting book!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
