In the 3rd installment of the Gallagher Girls series, Cammie Morgan (spy girl in training), finds herself stuck in the middle of a complex kidnapping plot intertwined with a presidential campaign. As she tries to uncover who is behind it all, she discovers secrets much darker and deeper than she ever imagined.
Ally Carter stays true-to-form in this Gallagher installment, providing an easy, entertaining read with a little bit of intrigue. Although the premise of the whole series (top secret school for spy girls in training) is a bit far-fetched, it is highly amusing and will keep you laughing. Any girl who has watched Alias has tried to channel her inner Sydney Bristow at some point. This series does the same thing for teenagers. I particularly liked Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover because of the new insights into Cammie's history. The first two books seemed to just introduce a lot for the series. This book was the first one that seemed to delve into something a little deeper.
For me, this series is a perfect "in between" read. When I've just finished a lengthy novel, something really serious or anything non-fiction, this series provides a quick refresh before I jump into the next thing on my to-read list. Because of that, I haven't finished the series yet. I just pick them up as a quick 1 day read here or there. However, I'm confident Ally Carter will deliver with the final 3 in this series as well!
Overall Rating: 4 stars
Content Warning: These are pretty squeaky clean. There might be a mild swear word here or there, but I honestly can't remember any. I'd have no problem letting my 13 year old read this (and probably would have let her read them 2 years ago).
Target Audience: Teenage girls or women looking something quick and fun
