"Real life in clandestine services isn't cat and mouse—it's cat and cat."
3.5 stars. the extra .5 is for zach and cammie's banter. i don't have many things to say other than this book was painfully slow and not much really happened?? except maybe at the beginning when cammie and her friends found out about the boys' situation and towards the literal end when something actually happened. thank god it didn't drag out to be more when nothing happened. i hope the next book in the series will be better.
I had read the first one and that one was ok, so I decided to give this book a try and I really liked this one better. Zach Goode that is all folks. Other than that, I enjoyed reading this book.
book #6 completed for booktubeathon 2018!
the epilogue. THE. EPILOGUE. boooiiii let me tell you i am loving this series so far. the characters are great. the spy school setting is great. I JUST...YES MORE PLS THX.

This is a fun, although overly dramatic and improbable, series. Bringing the boys spy school into the girl's academy in this one lead to expected but somewhat fine predicaments and romantic plotline possibilities.
Who would have thought a sequel could be better than the first book??? Okay, not SUBSTAINTAILLY better, but noticeably better.
I finished this book in less than 2 hours and im just grateful these books are short otherwise I would be encouraged to do other things ((laundry)) than read this book
That’s how bad they can get – im not even exaggerating
But book #2 was better and I think going in with 0.00 expectations made me //enjoy// it more than I thought it would
Yes, there’s still more TALK of being a bada*s spy who is fluent in 17 languages than ACTUALLY being a bada*s spy. Its more of a rom-com ft. some spy related ish so keep that in mind
But hey, I was actually ENGAGED in this book, even if it was for 55 seconds but that’s a step up from the first book which was a complete and utter tragedy
Still lots of tropes like the beautifully, quirky, and hilarious MC that thinks shes so plain and boring ((which spoiler, she is)) and yet she somehow dazzles all the boys ??? oh and hot boys too
Theres still the cringe that is the humour. Like its not the worst I’ve seen but its pretty close. Its just v much trying too hard
Also I really have to resist gagging after the girls refer to their teacher, on multiple occasions as ‘sexy’ bc no plz no
But the ending was actually slightly thrilling even tho it was VERY predictable but definitely an improvement
Im praying the next books also improve so I can stick around just a bit longer
2 stars!!

Re-read (2019):
3.5 stars.
The story still hooks me, and I cannot wait what the next installment will be (because your girl forgot the story already). Definitely enjoyable.

“And you utilised your training to develop a relationship with The Subject?”
“Gee, when you say it like that—”
“Yes or no, Ms—”
“Yes!”
Which, I would like to point out, is not nearly as bad as it sounds since, for example, you don’t need a search warrant to go through someone’s rubbish. Seriously. Once it hits the kerb it is totally fair game – you can look it up.
So, okay, after I read the last (rather, first) book of the Gallagher Girls I wasn't so sure whether I wanted to continue with the series but I figured I'd give it a shot and downloaded the e-book in preparation for my current "read the rest of Sherlock Holmes alternately with some of the e-books because you already have so freaking many of those, you seriously need to cut down on that pile" (I might have missed the point by getting a new e-book for that purpose but please don't tell me that, it's a secret). And, if there is anything I have learned from reading this book it's that I really want to continue this series.
Liz's parents drive Volvos and serve on school committees and have never had to kill a man with a copy of Hello magazine. (Not that anyone can prove my mom actually did that – it’s totally just a rumour.)
Sure, it's still not a perfect book but it also doesn't need to be! There is action (although Cammie continues to mess things up whenever there's a boy around. Seriously, pull yourself together; I want to see you kick-ass not freeze-up.), there is friendship, there are undercover-missions and, most importantly, there is a lot of fun.
I don't know what it was about this book that triggered the "fun" part of my brain so much more than the last one managed to. Maybe I'm more susceptible to humor when I'm reading a book in English rather than German? Well, no, that's a stupid theory but the translation could have had something to do with it, which is why I definitely want to continue reading these in English, which is why I can't just walk to my trusted library and get the entire rest of the series at once and swallow them whole – figuratively speaking –, which is why I'm feeling very disappointed by the fact that this book was so incredibly short/short-lived/quick to read. Anyway, I thought this was waaay more fun than the last book, I actually laughed out loud a couple of times and if I wasn't laughing I was probably grinning.
"Study." Macey cocked a perfectly plucked eyebrow. “Next time I’ll get all A’s.” And then she smiled as if, after sixteen years of practice, she’d finally found the ultimate way to defy her parents.
Moreover, I was much more interested in the conflict this time around. I was never terribly interested in Josh but the Blackthorne boys posed an intriguing mystery I was as keen on solving as Cammie & Co. (and still am keen on solving. Seriously, a little more info would have been nice.)
My hopes for the next book are the following: More Mr Mosckowitz moments, more Cammie-being-a-professional-spy, more Liz and Bex and Macy, more solving spy-mysteries, less moping, more secret missions, and a surprise (I know, I know they're usually no good for spies but I'm no spy and I like surprises and surprised people. I might also be a tad evil.)
I told myself that maybe it was just coincidence that Tina Walters had been swearing for years that there was a boys’ school in Maine. After all, Tina also swore that Gillian Gallagher was a direct descendant of Joan of Arc. Tina swears a lot of things. Tina is frequently wrong.

the 3 stars are because I love zach and that’s about it 🤷🏻♀️
I'm really excited to see where this series is headed! I was kind of disappointed in the end, when the last scene ended up being another test, since it was kind of predictable and it would've been fun to finally meet a real antagonist, but it was still very awesome and badass.
