This is a great addition to the Gallagher Girl series by Ally Carter. The main focus is no longer on Cammie, but we are still told a great story through her eyes.
It's all about Macey. Who is she really? It has only been one year since she started at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women and she is already a brilliant spy. We finally get to know Macey. She isn't just the boy decoding, rich girl. She can switch back and forth between the new spy Macey and the old snippy Macey in a blink of an eye. She is truly exceptional. So, is that why people are after her? You will have to read to find out....
The big question everyone is probably asking is, "Does Zach make an appearance?" I'll get to that, but isn't he so swoon worthy? I sure think so. I mean, who didn't think it was cute when he pointed to himself and said, "Spy," every time Cammie asked him a question about how he knew something. But, the answer is he is often mentioned by Cammie. She thinks he is following her, or at least hiding around every corner out of sight.
This was a great book! I don't think I will ever get tired of these spies. Let's just hope no one gets hurt....
Oh, before I finish this review, I want to share my favorite line from this book. You ready for it? Here it is...."And that's how a chameleon was saved by a peacock."

Don’t Judge A Girl By Her Cover is a step up from the first novel and a lateral step from the second. Still fun, still funny, the plot takes a darker turn and maintains higher stakes than either of the first two. Its choppy chapters allow the short novel to be jam packed with new scenes and events and take the reader at a rapid clip, though I should note that while it’s a quick read and engaging most of the way, it is repetitive in nature, and you have to really like the world and it’s characters to overlook that fact. Luckily, I do, but critically, more could have been done. The spy stuff to Zach ration was great, and it is nice to see a departure from school quizzes to “real world” spy tactic execution.

This is my favorite book in the series yet. I'm glad the scenarios were real this time versus a test. These books are fun and make me giggle while still keeping me in suspense. Fun read!
