Alias fans will love this book.

This book is just so cute. Misha is clearly adorable, even if she is Christy's mission personality. And I love all the little heart flip-flops she does, all the little touches and looks with the hunky guys. Total scream.

The story is first person perspective. Mostly telling, rather than showing. Definitely a different feel than other books I have read. The author has a distinctive voice. Misha always tells us how she feels. But if you get over that and become immersed in the author's writing style, you will enjoy the book.

One thing that bugged me was: after the kidnapping, we got a lot of the reactions of the events that happened through Misha's thoughts, but the emotional connection lacked. I could have done with some physical responses. Did Misha ever tremble? Being in her head is one thing, but you need the full experience of bodily involvement. But again, it's not in the writers style.

Something seemed detached about the circus scene. Almost as if Misha was just telling a sequence of events. Where was the crowd's reaction? Why did the group of kidnapped students never say anything to each other? Why didn't they do anything?

Oh, and the head of the compound, absolutely loony toons. I can't decide if I love him or hate him. He has a weird color fetish, which was interesting to say the least. Neat.

I love how the author throws in little sermons about agency. She did graduate from BYU, and I appreciate her morals and the cleanness of the read.

A fast paced read. ( )

This series with Christy from Watched series. Christy is now a spy the youngest one. This is her first mission to get kidnapped. She has to get in with Adrenaline group. Someone is kidnapping groups of eight kids. Never to be seen again.

This has a lot more violence, kids doing stupid things. One part was rough to read. Lots of action, drama, high school relationships, danger and characters you want to see get safe.

Jeremy is Christy's handler. She feels safe with him watching her back.

This school has two group of Adrenaline kids in it. She believes it is the other group that will be kidnapped over the one she is assigned too get close to. Her spy parents don't trust her because she is so young.
I bought this book from Amazon and have read all 5 books in two days with Christy as the main character. ( )
