Again, a nostalgic re-read for me. Overall, I enjoyed and the epilogue made me curious about the next book. The MMC had limited character growth so I’m not sure how I feel about him yet but I imagine that’s partly to keep you guessing for more as you get to know him in future books. The book had great moments though—humor, some giddy excitement and some good life lessons learned for the characters.
Of all the books this had to be my favorite. The introduction of Zach and Black Thorne School for Boys was seamless. It felt like I had been apart of this world for years! I also really love the blossoming relationship between Zach and, our main, Cammie. It differed from her relationship with Josh in a lot of ways and only made it more perfect.
Story wise this hit all the right notes for me(my favorite part was the coin exercise). Reading and re-reading this book just gets more and more magical every time. As per usual I love it and will, of course, read and re-read this book until the pages dissolve like spy paper!

2020 review: Day 14 of quarantine and I remembered that I never finished this series. Seems a good time as any to finish it, but I had to reread this to remember the story. A bit cringe going through this writing again, but brought back a lot of memories. :)

"I always finish what I start."
God damn.
All I can think about right now is Zach and that final moment between them
fast-paced
I read this but I don't remember it. I think it was pretty good u ti haven't read the first one.
Rating: ★★★★☆
On Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, Carter introduces new characters and mystery by bringing The Blackthorn Institute into the Gallagher Academy. Throughout the book, it's kind of obvious that the boys should be suspected. However, even though they're spies, the girls react innocently and "girly" when confronted by the evidence. This innocence and "stupidity" is Carter's objective in order to make the reader realize how a group of trained girls can come undone when presented with something new. It also makes us realize that even though they believe they are already spies, there's still a lot more they need to learn before being ready.

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!! The first one was a little hard to get into because it felt so young, but this is just amazing. I loved Zach so much!
