My thoughts:
Checkmate was so good! The entire story was filled with intense action/suspense -- from the beginning scene to that final, crazy ending. I was near tears for the last 50-100 pages, and that just tells you how much I love these characters because I was afraid about what was going to happen to them!
The plot for Checkmate was fantastic! Even though there were clues about what was going to happen next, I had the hardest time trying to figure out what it was -- and I loved that! There was enough info to where it was possible to guess correctly, but you'd have to be really, really good at picking up on clues. ;)
I don't think it's possible for me to pick a favorite character from this book, because as the series has progressed, I've grown to love them all -- even Margaret. I'm so glad this book isn't the end to Patrick Bowers, just the end to the "Chess" series. I'm not ready to say goodbye and I can't wait to see what awaits these characters in the next book(s)!
Overall, I recommend Checkmate! If you're a fan of intense thrillers, you definitely need to read this series - as long as you aren't squeamish. A fantastic series from beginning to end!
