It was actually so good. I'm shook. And I'm peeved beyond get out that the libraries have lowered our hold limits so fiercely that I can't get any more of them. Just like every series, I am officially going out of order.

I absolutely loved this book! It was everything I wanted and more as the third book in this series.

In this third book, the city spies are off again as they try to keep their sights on the son of an important physicist. To do this, one of the team joins an elite chess match. The others create roles to keep tabs on those who have much more sinister plans for the physicist that they want to recruit.

I have to say that I think my favorite thing about this is how well written this story is. From the characters to the plot, the story is engaging and fast paced from beginning to end and you can’t help but love the found family that the city spies make up.
