"Enemies Among Us" by Jeffrey Stephens is a gripping thriller that i totally got lost in! (In a good way) I was immediately dragged into a world of espionage, political intrigue and none stop action.
The novel, the second in the Nick Reagan series, followed CIA op Nick Reagan and his team as they try to capture the notorious “Handler” who is still at large after carrying out some horrific attacks. Reagan, is on a quest and won’t stop until he has the terrorist in his grips!!
Reagan and his team are currently unaware of a web of lies and deceit, stemming from their own government, until they encounter an unexpected directive to stand down by CIA superiors.
The novel follows Reagan's journey through treacherous and secretive paths in the capital, facing some of the most formidable opponents he has ever encountered. These are individuals and groups who believe in a New World Order, willing to commit treason to achieve their goals.
This is an action-packed, and thought-provoking novel that delves into the dark sides of power and corruption, that feels very relevant, considering the state of things in todays world. A definite must-read for thriller fans, especially those who enjoy a bit of a mix of espionage, political intrigue, and a hero who isn't afraid to confront the establishment and will stop at nothing to bring them down!… (meer)

As with the first book, we open up with multiple acts of terrorism, so the action immediately kicks off. Of course, our beloved protagonist, Nick Reagan, gets involved. The writing is tighter, and the plot and characters are still solid (as with the last book). Stephens does a great job of playing his cards close in this book. There's a lot of momentum and action, but even when it slows down Stephens keeps the pace as he creates a lot of tension and keeps Nick active even when he's benched and told to back off. It was cleverly written, and with twists and reveals I didn't guess ahead of time even though I expected some corruption (it's in the title!).

So far, this is a great series, and this book is an excellent follow-up to the first in the series.… (meer)
