I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You

Now that is a title to rival that Julia DeVillers book! It's the first book in a series, and I was only motivated to borrow it from the library when Amazon said that the third and newest book was selling really well. Although I found the plot to be just a tad cliché, the idea of the book itself was different from any other book I've blogged about, as spies were the main focus. The gadgetry was more realistic than, for example, Artemis Fowl, but sometimes I felt that the bits with action were fast-forwarded, the boy-related parts were stretched like taffy, and some rather important details about the characters' past were skipped. I'm not exaclty sure I want to read the next book, but since I kinda bought the new one already, I don't really have a choice. And who knows? Maybe Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy will be better.

Cameron Morgan is in training to become a spy at the prestigious Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. It's so secretive that the rest of the city thinks it's a school for genii. Cammie's in her sophomore year, and now she has to take the grueling Covert Operations class, or CoveOps for short. On her first disastrous mission, Cammie bumps into a normal boy named Josh while she's undercover. The two of them get to know each other better, and Cammie even falls for Josh. But when a sequence of particularly unlucky events take place, will Cammie reveal her true self, or will Josh remain in the dark about the truth forever?
