Ben Ripley is about to tackle his most high-stakes assignment yet - protecting the president of the United States. But everything goes wrong when he becomes the one suspected of endangering the population of the entire White House. Benjamin has now become the prime target for every police squad, FBI agent and CIA detective all at once. With no clear allies to rally toward, Ben is on his own. Hunters lurk in every shadow, and Ben must evade his own assassination while trying to uncover the truth behind the setup. Time is running out, and any slip-up could cost him everything…

Spy School Secret Service offers a new plot into the political world as a spy, throwing Ben into a lose-lose scenario where even those who should protect him become threats. With Ben’s own life on the line, reading it makes it feel like the stakes are higher than ever. Seeing him trying to outsmart the very system he’s worked with for years was exciting and nerve-wracking. A minor drawback is that some of the action scenes feel a bit far-fetched and unrealistic, which may hinder the experience for some readers. However, I still see this as an excellent novel, earning it a four out of five.
