If you haven’t read the first two books, I strongly recommend not reading this review to avoid inevitable spoilers.
Got it?!?
A visit to Boston to visit one of her best friends Macey during her summer vacation sounds like fun to Cammie.
After all, it’s not every girl that gets to watch their best friend’s father campaign to be the next vice president of the United States!
Yet what was believed to be a friendly visit turns deadly – not necessarily surprising considering the line of business Cammie and Macey are being groomed for.
But this time it is not a test. It’s not a practical exam.
It’s real.
When a kidnapping attempt leaves Cammie and Macey battered – their best friends Liz and Bex join them to try and figure out who is after Macey and why.
Even if the Secret Service wants them nowhere near the investigation…
Don’t Judge a Girl by Her Cover was yet another fun entry – but this one grew up a little, shall we say.
Instead of staying only in the romance/frothy fun genre, this third book provided more dramatic, twisty turns, giving the series more weight.
I have to admit that as much as I have enjoyed being entertained by the Gallagher Girls, I am more intrigued by things turning a bit more serious.
There were some truly life-threatening moments and some deeper character development here. Romance took a much smaller role – though I’m sure it’ll be back full-fledged soon – and the girls’ friendship and their spy training was just as great, but based in actual stakes.
All of this made me very much look forward to book four.
Sadly, I purchased the three book set and do not know when I’ll be able to grab up book four. But it’ll happen eventually!!!
