Book Review: Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Publication date: 2007
Pages: 256
Series: Gallagher Girls, Book 2

Summary from goodreads:
Cammie Morgan is back, and it's clear that her life hasn't calmed down. At first, giddy anticipation is in the air. Gallagher Academy, Cammie's elite spy school, is hosting a visit from a covert training center for boys. Soon after the boys' arrival, though, everything goes dangerously awry when a series of security breaches are discovered at the academy. Worse yet, teenage agent-in-training Cammie is being blamed for the penetration. With the school's top-secret status at risk, the Gallagher Girls have to work quickly to save their beloved school.
Things I Liked:
Again, I liked this one because Carter is very good at writing believable characters, even though we’re talking about teen spies. You just really like these girls, and you root for them from the beginning. And these have everything a great “escape” book needs – fun, wit, adventure, a little intrigue, and some romance here and there.

Things I Didn’t Like:
I read this one and the others to follow too fast. This is one of those series that I wish had more books – 6 was not enough.

  1. I totally know what you mean. When you really like a series, it's never fast enough. I love when I find a series that already has a lot of books out, so I don't have to wait! :--)
