Ex-spy Kendal was one of the best, but now she’s wearing the toughest disguise of her career: Mom.
Kendal
Carter is out in the cold and she wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s
been four years since her daughter Rosie was born and Kendal has kept
her miles away from The Game. But when their hiding place is discovered
and danger comes too close, Ken is forced to turn to old contacts. Her
longtime friend and ex-handler Rico doesn’t miss his chance to pull his
best player back in. Whisking them to London, Rico offers them a luxury
safe house in an area with good schools. How can she resist?
But
there’s a catch, of course. Rico wants Kendal to come back to work for
his espionage agency Bon Temps. He’s offering a cushy assignment with no
apparent downside, running a rookie asset in one of London’s biggest,
murkiest tech firms. It should be easy enough for someone with her
experience, and luckily, mother is the perfect cover.
However,
it doesn’t take long for Kendal to realize that Rico’s got an agenda of
his own. The tech firm has hands in Rosie’s school, and the world of
PTAs and playdates comes with its own web of allegiances and betrayals.
Kendal soon finds herself in way too deep . . .
I, Spy is
the first novel in a propulsive debut thriller series about the disguise
that all parents wear, and the former lives that come back to haunt us.

---My 5 STAR Review Notes TITLED: Loved Kendall; hated her mother !
To begin with I loved the intriguing eBook cover.! Beautiful And eye-catching ! The story made me smile from the very beginning even when I realized it wasn't the real opening for the story !! Rosie her daughter was something else. Cute and at times wiser than her 4 years ! Their antics are hilarious ! I loved them both!
Rico is someone Kendall used to work with years ago but she still doesn't trust him totally. Charming, funny but also ruthless in getting what he wants. Kendall that but has no choice but to run to the safety that she now needs for her daughter and herself ! It surprising how many names that Kendall has burned through because she needed to under her mother Jenny's tutelage. Kendall never had a childhood because of all the training her mother put her through Spy in training of all things ! She's not having it for her daughter !!!
Kendall has a lot of people on her side BUT there are some hidden "assets " that don't care about Kendall or he daughter on bit. If they die they die. It got pretty intense ! Fini Meridian is her best friend from years ago and still is. A tech genius eager to go the extra mile for them !
Joel seemed to be a fun, younger agent that she was supposed to be helping train more but I wasn't so sure about him ! Hey, he was able to cook, adored Rosie and she adored him but something just felt off ! Great part of the mystery !
All Kendall wants is to raise her daughter and safely re-connect with her ex, Khalil ! I wanted that too. But everyone just keeps interfering !!! They are both heartbroken !It's plain he still loves her.
Some things get taken care of at the end but I still hated her manipulative mom and want to know where she's hiding Khalil and why ! She NEVER explains anything to Kendall and it's clear that she wants to keep her hooks in her to use her in the future.
Get ending and now I want more. Thank you Netgalley and L.M. Kemp for such a GREAT story !
