This book was recommended to me by a friend and I’m glad I took a chance on it. The book is a fantasy novel but not in the way most fantasy novels are these days. It takes place in our world but doesn’t present us with cliched quests and …

First off, let me say that I am not a political person. I\’ve never put a political bumper sticker on my car, and I’ve certainly never worked on a political campaign. Most politicians have about all the appeal and honesty of the old snake oil salesman.

Genre - Teenage Fiction
This book is basically all about a “teenage-spy-in-training-who-falls-in-love-with-the-cutest-most-normal-boy-in-town”. You get the idea.
So, first things first, I liked it. Catchy Title, Girl in the lead, Totally Cool Gadgets, Cute, Awesome Boys.. What’s not to like? I, specifically, love the latter.
Cammie, the girl lead I was talking …
