This book really hits the ground running, with not much in the way of reminders from the first book, either about plot or about who's who. I'm glad I made some notes and also didn't wait too long to continue the series. It was a fast-paced story, building on what the first book set up, and even giving us Angela's mom's perspective throughout. Angela and Q were a little less involved this time, more watching, listening, reacting, even lucking into things, but on the other hand, it's a little more realistic. Still, I like seeing Q's and Angela's smarts and abilities come into play.

I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here, and I would recommend this for younger readers who want something exciting or thrilling, or even adults who don't necessarily care for adult spy thrillers but enjoy a good adventure story. This series is the type where the whole thing tells one long story (from what I've seen so far, at least), so keep that in mind if you consider reading it—start with #1. ( )

Book #2 picks up exactly where the first book leaves off. There’s a little review at different parts of the story, but it’s pretty minimal. The story goes full steam ahead back into the action and intrigue and won’t let up til the very end, where it slows down enough to close the book and lead into the next one. The storyline isn’t any more realistic than the first one, but it’s a pretty good ride. The bad guys are revealed with very little foreshadowing, and one is more surprising than the other.

It seems the goal of the book series is action, adventure, and suspense, and it definitely delivers on these counts. I’d probably consider it appropriate for 5th-8th grade. ( )

Malek is alive and Angela and Q helped keep her that way. That is how the first book in the I,Q series ended. As The White House begins, Match, the musical group consisting of Blaze, Q's mother, and Roger, Angela's father, are scheduled to perform a concert at the White House. When they arrive, Angela and Q meet P.K., which stands for President's Kid. His real name is William and he is much smarter than any ten year old kid should be. He immediately knows that Angela and Q are more than they seem. His sister, Bethany, runs the household since the death of their mother. The SOS team is still on the job trying to find out what the Ghost Terrorist Cell is up to and figure out how to stop them. With Malek embedded in the cell posing as her twin sister, Anmar, Angela's life is filled with worry about her mother. Something is going on at the White House and Angela and Q must help Boone to figure it out and stop it before anything else happens.
This is another good entry in the I, Q series. It ends with a cliffhanger that makes it tough to wait to find Book #3.
