Description

An action-packed, second-chance rom-com about two rival spies who must join forces in order to stay alive, from New York Times bestselling author Ally Carter.

Ten years ago, they joined the CIA. 

Six years ago, he left the game. 

Five years ago, they fell in love. 

One year ago, she ran out into the cold with absolutely no intention of ever coming back.

And two minutes ago, they woke up, bloody and bruised and handcuffed together in the dark.

They don’t know where they are. They don’t know how they got there. And they have absolutely no idea who is after them or what this nameless, faceless villain wants. 

The only thing that’s clear is that, after ten years of covers and chemistry, secrets and lies, these two rival spies have been sucked into their greatest mission yet, and now they’re going to have to team up to stay alive. (If they don’t kill each other first.)

my review notes- Title of Review- SUPREMELY Good

 

Alex was the best. And at the first part of the story, the jury was still out on  just what kind of guy that "The Guy" was.  Nicely played though.  

Tragedy about her sister, Zoe and what they BOTH went through.  Zoe got the most attention because of her health but no one seemed to get that Alex needed help too. Thus, leading her to "The Farm"/spy school. And then really ramp up from there.

There will be some flashbacks of before and after being a spy, but done so smoothly it had an easy to follow flow. Alex was hilarious in her sass and I adored her for it and the sass between her and The Guy. It's later revealed who and what he's about. He's methodical and often appears cold and brash. Alex was the exact OPPOSITE. She's beautiful, memorable, bold and fearless. Everything a spy ISN'T supposed to be. There's no fading in the background for her. She makes it work for her. Until suddenly doesn't. 

None stop intrigue and action, and laughter kept me on the edge of my seat. Along with some sadness on Alex's account because she's just that great! Only a few people seem to see the real her !  It didn't take long for me to be rooting for them to make it out alive and hopefully together !

The story comes to an explosive end with a great, funny surprise at the end. I will definitely be reading this book again. To laugh, to smirk to even shed a few tears and to laugh again at the end.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me this book . Thank you Ally Carter for writing such an astoundingly great book !

 P.S. I loved the cover for this eBook.
