keilexandraCross My Heart and Hope to Spy
by Ally Carter
236 pages (hardcover)
Genre: Fiction/YA/Romance
I started this book last night and finished it second period in class today--beautifully written with a strong voice, and gripping. This is the sequel to I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You, but it also works as a standalone. It made the NYT-bestseller list recently, and the publicity is deserved 100%. A speedy read that left me yearning for more.
I would compare this novel to the Clique or Gossip Girls series, only less petty and snotty. Cammie Morgan is a sophomore at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, ostensibly a rich private school--but really a spy school for geniuses. The foursome of Cammie, Bex, Liz, and Macey are well-drawn, both collectively and individually. My favorite character was Liz, but I have a weakness for book-smarts. Anyway, in this second volume an exchange group of students from the Blackthorne Institute for Boys arrives--including a cute and mysterious boy named Josh. I won't ruin the story any further, but the ending was a beautiful twist.
Highly recommended.
