This book was a quick, fun, easy read. I also could not put it down! I love all the Gallagher Girls' books so far, but this is my favorite, and I was very happy to see Zachary again, even though this book makes him a bigger mystery than ever! Bex, Liz, Macey, and Cammie grow closer then ever in this book, and there are some really amazing parts in this book. Meaning Carter did a great job explaining the fight scenes and there were some serious tests layed out fornCammie and her friends. This book had the most action out of all of them so far, and was by far the best. I got to see more sides of certain characters, meet some new ones, and figure out some interesting connections between the new characters and the old. This book looks like it's going to be the turning point in the series were before the were just girls trained to be spy's, to where they are experienced female spy's with a little tweaking left to do in their training. Overall this was a great book, so much so nothing I have said to even try to explain how good it is even does it justice! This book was the best spy book I have read, and I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, Nd prove the beginning of this sentence wrong!!!

Cammie Morgan, our favorite teen spy, is back in action. Its summer time and Cammie is excited to finish it out with a bang when she goes off to visit her roommate Macey in Boston. When you’re a spy though the word “exciting” is synonymous with “dangerous,” and danger is exactly what Cammie and Macey for that matter, get.

When the girls return to school for the start of junior year, Cammie can’t shake what happened to them in Boston and nowhere feels safe anymore, not even her school. She feels like there are secrets everywhere and old flames are popping up every which way Cammie turns. Cammie and her friends are also quite confused with the answerless questions of who was after Macey and Cammie on that fateful day in Boston.

Soon though Cammie and Becks are asked to accompany Macey (as her personal security guards) on her dad’s campaign trail. Together the three of them keep up with their spy training while trying to uncover the answers to many, many secrets and possibly discovering the shocking truth.

This series is one of a kind and just plain great. Cassie is such an independent person and I love the adventure that takes place. Ally Carter is also such a fabulous author that I get lost in her writing every time I pick up one of her books. DON’T JUDGE A GIRL BY HER COVER is no exception to this said awesomeness.

The characters were a lot of fun. Cammie was determined to succeed in her missions, which I had to admit I was very jealous of and completely wanted to partake in, and very resbonsible. I have to admit though, she was a little boy crazy which made me a little annoyed, but hey a teen girl has to have her priorities! Talking about boys, I loved how admist politcs and spies and such Ally Carter incorporated something as common as boy drama, which really made the reader connect with the story. I also loved Bex. She was such a strong character and she could seriously kick some butt!

Overall I really, really liked this book and thought it was a great addition to the series, it may almost be the best one yet. The writing was fun, but intense at times and the author really knows how to suck you in. I know that I cannot wait for the fourth Gallagher Girl book.

This book is a little different among the previous books of the series because the action is mainly outside the Gallagher Girls Academy Mansion. This time Cammie has to protect her friend Macey from kidnapers, on the way she discovers a new threat and the target is not as obvious as it seems to be.

We meet a new character in this book: her aunt Abby whose role is to protect Macey. Zach is present in this book but I was disappointed to see so little of him, he hide something and I'm really curious to see if he's one of the bad or good guys.

Overall it was an entertaining read, we learn a lot about the future of a spy and also have a lot of questions unanswered.

I can't wait to read the sequel!
