Book review of Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy

I am currently reading the second book in the series of the Gallagher Girls called Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter. I was excited to read this book because I really enjoyed the first one. The main character Cammie is further developed in this book and she seems like a more interesting and smart girl in this book. She is the head of the spy council at her boarding school. That is a very special position in which every girl at the school wishes to have. She was chosen because of her smart tactics. Cammie finds her true self and what she wants to be in her future career. She has high standards for herself and for other people around her. I like reading about how she approaches a potential spy case and how she reacts to it. She is clever, sneaky, and knows what she is doing. These three qualities help her be the best spy she can be
Cammie is very nice and wants to be the best she can be at all times. I can relate to her desire to excel at what she does. I like her and find that the book helps the reader get to know the character. I enjoy picking this book up at night to relax and find it a perfect choice for pleasure reading. This is a book for someone who likes to read about strong female characters and who likes to read at a good pace. I highly recommend books by Ally Carter because she creates relatable characters and people. I hope that you will buy or pick up a book in this series.

    You described Cammie really well! I started reading this book on Monday in English and even though I didn't read the first one, it is really good! Can I borrow the first from you?!

  6. I like Ally Carter's books - because, well, girls are amazing and there just aren't enough books where the girls in the books aren't worried about boys first and other stuff second.
    Smart girls? Who are spies? What's not to love???
    I've only read a couple of Ally Carter's books - now I feel like I need to read the Heist Society books, too...
