I checked this out after watching the recent movie on a whim while at the theater and finding the premise interesting. This is definitely a strong start for a series with a unique set up, well defined main characters, and a world that is slowly being built as the story continues to keep readers intrigued and wanting more. Speaking of which, I can't wait to check out the next volume!

So I glad I finally read this! Very quick to read, funny and cute! I can't wait to continue this series (though if you read this as an e-book, I'd suggest using a larger screen, I used a tablet).
Please give this a try!
Please give this a try!

"Or rather, good evening, 'Twilight'"
I don't know if I like Twilight or not. He was very pessimistic (which was fine), but, as a spy, I feel like he could've put more thought and planning into the mission that was at hand, it felt very rushed, but that could've been thathe only had a week to handle admissions for Anya.
"Come back to Earth now and then, Yor, and maybe you could actually meet a man!"
Yor was the best! I wish we had more character and more development but she was introduced near the end of the book, so I can't say much. Hopefully, we can get her point of view in the next volume.
"This is the smartest one we got. She don't say much, but...... she's a good kid."
Anya was kind of whiney and annoying, but she seemed to get a little bit better at the end, and she's only six, so I should give her a break.
"For better or worse... For richer or poorer... In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health... I pledge myself to you. Until.... ....my mission... .....my killing... ...do we part."
