The Prince (Spy Girl Book 1)
The Prince (Spy Girl Book 1)

Review:The Prince is a decent read. The action and thought put into the mystery makes for a fast paced read. Spy Girl is smart and fabulous. She knows her mind and what she wants. This is a must for any heroine.

However, there are some minor details that end up having a major impact. First Dodd usually writes for a younger audience. This story is made for an older audience. Spy Girl should have been at least 21, preferably mid to later twenties. The drama the sexual implications are all tailored... Read more

Review:Cammie Morgan attends the Gallagher Academy, a boarding school that trains girls to be spies. In this, the fourth book in the series, Cammie and her three best friends are still dealing with the fallout from a kidnapping attempt the previous fall, and when they return from winter break they find many changes at their beloved school.

I know that's not much of a summary, but the twists and turns in this book start early, and I wouldn't want to spoil any of them. And really, didn't I have yo... Read more

All Fall Down (Embassy Row, Book 1)

Review:I listened to this book vice reading this story which might have skewed my review. I listened to 4 hours of character development before the author started into the plot of trying to figure out who committed the murder. The narrator’s voice was fine, but the fact that Grace was always having fits, breakdowns and silent trances felt like the story was in a loop replaying the drama over an over.

The main character Grace has an attitude that I would not have put up for anything, no matter w... Read more

Review:Seeing the same timeline from three different perspectives was a great way to truly understand the characters and where they were coming from. They all had their flaws, and you wanted to yell at them multiple times throughout the book ("what are you doing/thinking/saying??"), but it was their depth and your overall empathy for them that makes this such a fast, and ultimately enjoyable, read.
