This was great. The ebook has a chapter from his next book, Devil Darling Spy. Why doesn't Goodreads have it? I've seen things labeled, "Book #12" listed. This doesn't make sense.

Me ha costado un poco entrar en la trama y si bien me ha parecido interesante, trepidante e intensa, la novela no me ha terminado de impresionar.

Está muy bien escrita y cuenta una historia que no deja indiferente... Sin embargo creo que mi problema es que no he terminado de empatizar con Sarah ni de creermela del todo.

Aún así recomendaría la lectura de esta novela.

I received this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah is a Jew living in Nazi Germany and she uses all of her wile to survive. When her mother is shot at a checkpoint and Sarah scrambles to find another plan and way out, she saves a British spy. He gives her a new direction, yet it will lead her back into the heart of Germany and threaten her safety more than ever before. Sarah is tasked with pretending to be his young niece and attending a prestigious boarding school with the children of Nazi officials. There she is to become friends with important people and discover key information for the enemy.

While it took me a few chapters to get into this novel, once I was invested I was all in. The plot moves quickly, the characters are cheeky and funny, yet serious and compelling. I would enjoy this as a series and would love to see what happens next (because so much more could happen next). I think this work was well-crafted and provided depth.

I wanted to love it-it was good and I appreciated the ways she was taught by her mother to act the roles but the end seemed a bit convenient. Curious what others thought. I did appreciate the author’s note that we need to fight against injustices that are still occurring in modern life.
