Ally CarterCritiques

So I read the back of this and I was like ooooh murderous girl out for revenge? Sounds awesome (spoiler) it's not like that literally they're both immediately goo goo eyes for each other, no bedazzled murder weapon in sight. Disappointment was felt. But if your not expecting to be delighted by the deranged thoughts of a vengeful teenage girl, then it's a mediocre thriller-romance. The suspense was good but the ending was boring½

When is a spy not a spy? When she's a spy-in-peril's twin sister, with amnesia.½

Audio - two narrators.

Total fluff but good fast paced fun. Should be a movie.

This was a really great look into Hale's world and I loved the book over all but...I felt like the ending was rushed. mostly I'm disappointed the ending wasn't really a surprise so it didnt feel as satisfying.

On the one hand, it's basically just a rip-off of the Bourne Identity series, and it's also basically the Gallagher Girls series for adults, but on the other hand, it's the Gallagher series for adults! It wasn't astonishingly good writing, but I did find it very enjoyable. So. A very high three stars.

* I got this book for review*
I did enoy this book. I felt it was a very plot focuses novel and it was harder to feel very connected to the characers. The book was wild ride and def a really fun listen!! I thought it was like listening to a action and adventure movie with a soild romance twist!!! I will def pick up book 2!!

* I got this book for review from the publisher for my honest thoughts*
I really loved this second book in this series. I THINK this book had a prefect balance of the annie meets batman elements that book 1, did not expand on. I think the mystery in this book was more engaging. I also loved how this book fleshed on the realtionships between all the kids int his book and felt like I learned more about all the characters in this books. It was such a fun fast pace read. It had elements that remind of the Artemis fowl series and also elements of Annie. I really am excited for book 3!

* I got this book from scholastic for my honest thoughts***
I loved this book so much. I really loved how we got the duel POV in this novel of both maddie and Logan. I really loved how this book was both survival story but also had elements of adventure and mystery. I thought the both the setting of the alaskan wilderness was such a unique place to set a novel. The highlight of this novel was def the relationship between Logan and Abby. I also normally love books about presidents kids and this book was no different. It was so easy to fly through this novel. These characters have become my top favorite characters of all of ally's characters. I know we are heading into spring/summer but this would make a great winter read!

I loved this ending so much. I was really impressed by this ending and also the heist. I just loved how side characters became a focus and also all the hi-jynx along the way. I think Kat is one of my favorite ally carter characters. I was so impressed by this story and some parts really suprised me. It was such a fun fast read. I rec. this series if you love heist book but also strong females :)

This was a nice conclusion to the series. It does follow a pretty typical formula but I still enjoyed the ride and it was really easy to fall back into this world. Grace throughout this series was really hard to like bit that is because she is shattered person. I do think I grew to like her by the books ends. I still adored her friends and loved when they had scenes together. But this book was such a quick read and I am happy I finally know the end to grace story!

I did like this book but it def feel flat for me. I really enjoyed the school setting and the characters training to be spies. But i really had a hard time with such a focus on the romance being the major force in this girl life. I wanted the story to move past it faster and it did not. I heard the series gets better and I def want to cont. reading soon. The characters were not as compelling as i wanted them to be. But overall it was fun read.

I loved this book more then the first. I loved story and also the dynamics between the character. It was also such a different type of story then book one. I am growing to love Kat character. Her crew is just the best group of people. I can not express my love for simon. I loved nick role in this book it was a nice surprise. It was such a fast pace novel and i really must read the next one soon.

I really loved this book so much. It love all the members of the society and just the development of all the characters. It was such a fast pace read and very well done. I was impressed by the female character and the lack of a focus on romance really. Their were hints of love triangle but not the focus. I loved the heist and the rather nice plot twist towards the end of the book!

All fall down: Review This is the first book i read by ally carter and I really loved it.
 
It is set in the fictional country that had embassies of all the different countries and it takes up this long stretch of road and all of the embassies of children that live in them.  This book follows the lead character named Grace and she is haunted by her mothers death even though everyone claims it was an accident. This belief as well as other instances like somebody trying to kill the prime minster lead to a very complicated and interesting story. It was really hard to put down this book because I wanted to know what was going to happen. 
 
I loved all the various kids we met and how simple actions can really effect thing drastically. It was both a self discovery novel but also a finding the truth novel. I really loved both the setting and the characters. Can't wait for the next one.

Maddie and Logan were torn apart by a kidnapping attempt when they were young. They were only kids -- Logan's dad was POTUS and Maddie's father was the Secret Service agent meant to guard him. The kidnappers were stopped -- but Maddie was whisked off to Alaska with her father, for safety. Maddie and Logan had been inseparable . . . but then she never heard from him again.

Now it's a few years later. Maggie's a teenager, used to living a solitary life with her father. It's quiet -- until Logan is sent to join them. After all this time without word, Maddie has nothing to say to him -- until their outpost is attacked, and Logan is taken. They won't be out of the woods until they're . . . out of the woods, and Maddie's managed to thwart the foes and reconcile with Logan.

This book is fun, and honestly a little bit ridiculous but that's part of the fun.

It's an action/romcom, a bit of an unusual romance, but I really enjoyed it. It reminded me a little bit of The Bodyguard by Katherine Center, which I really liked.
