JFK Jr. was Lark. Amy Carter was Dynamo. Chelsea Clinton was Energy. Meet Shadow. "Shadow" is the Secret Service codename for the First Daughter, Nora Hartson. And when she starts dating young White House lawyer Michael Garrick, he starts feeling like the First Counsel. That's what happens to everyone who lives in her world. It's a world all of us have heard about, but none of us truly know - a world where your dad's the President, your close friends wear earpieces and carry guns and a world where everyone is watching. On a date, Nora and Michael see something they shouldn't. To protect her, he admits to something he shouldn't. And when the problem snowballs out of control, she may have to do something she shouldn't. The First Counsel. The President's Daughter. You've never dated anyone like this.

First, just marry me. I love all the people who have been trying out the books after watching the show. I will say, you can read the books in any order you want. Try The Inner Circle. And most important, thanks.

Amazing connection,
This review is from: First Counsel (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book. The main character was easy to connect to on a personal level, but Nora stole my heart. She is what really drove this book. Every time she made a move my opinion of her changed drastically. I could never decide whether she was an amazing person, or a scheming, maniacal one. Brad Meltzer made it very easy for me to feel every little emotion that Michael went through because of Nora through his writing. I will definitely be reading this novel over and over again just so I can relive every twist and turn this book goes through.
