Plot was pretty awesome with many twists and turns. There were just a few continuity errors that bugged me.

WHAT NO WAY!!!
It just keeps getting better and better. I re read all the books before this 1 came out this year to remember what has happened over the years. They get better and better every time I re read them.
Can't recommend this book any more than that. READ READ READ READ READ READ IT!!!!!
I really hope there is more to come as the story can't be left there. I need to read more in the world of Alex Rider!

I was absolutely delighted to be granted this e-book in return for an honest review as I loved, loved, loved Alex Rider when I was a child - probably the only series that would stop me from reading fantasy/sci-fi for a long time.
It was so incredibly comforting (interesting I know) to fall back into the daring and thrilling world of Alex Rider where he was up against a new threat - Nightshade! I really enjoyed reading about familiar names, Jack Starbright, Mrs Jones, Crawley etc and this felt like every other one of the books. It was fast paced and a complete page turner. I particularly enjoyed Nightshade and getting to know more about this. The twist...well, let's just say that was incredibly unexpected! I am thrilled that it seems likely that there will be more Alex Rider books.

It doesn’t matter how old I become, Alex Rider will forever be the best series I have ever read! I’m eternally grateful that Anthony Horowitz brought Alex’s story back to life and continues to write these fabulous books! Every page had me hanging on for more until I was sleep-deprived and had a sore thumb from holding the book open for so long.
Nightshade was fabulous! It was so fun to revisit Julius Grief and meet the new characters. I hope to read more about Freddy and Sofia in future books, maybe they will take part in Nightshade’s demise? Anyway, I’m not sure what will happen next, but I have only one thing left to say: MORE ALEX RIDER!!!

This series never disappoints with the next book always being better than the last one. As always I really loved Alex there is never a time where he is unlikable at all he is like a normal teenage boy with many other things he is very resourceful so able to handle a crisis and get out of most situations. I also loved both Jack Starbright and Tom they had better roles to play this time I liked how they fit well in what happens in the book. I really liked the plot it started with a setup for the plot with a character dying and moving to Alex thinking its all over and continuing with him on another case to save a bunch of people. I really liked how it ended and how it was set up for more of the Nightshade organization with a giant target on Alex's back I am looking forward to where the story goes next.

"All I wanted to do was make Britain great again."
This sounds a lot like Trump's slogan—just replace Britain with America.
