The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

4.0

*Actual rating 3.5 stars*

With her mom, Avery has bounced from state to state and home to home for most of her childhood and youth. The weekend of Avery’s prom, her mom announces they are on the move again. But rather than stay home to pack for the impending move, Avery decides it is time to do a regular teenage thing: she goes to prom. That is the last normal thing she does as new student Jack reveals he is more than a student and the dashing Stellan sweeps Avery off to France. What follows is masked balls, treasure hunts, kidnapping, chases through Europe, and lots & lots of intrigue.

This was another book that grabbed my interest because of the exquisite cover but made me pick it up because of the enticing blurb. I am very glad I went into reading this knowing there was at least one sequel in the works. However, it did not slow me down as I whipped through the pages running frantically with Avery and trying to figure out the clues along her side. As I was laid up with my second horrid cold of the season, I was only too happy to snuggle in with a cup of tea and this wonderful story, losing myself in Avery’s world. This is the perfect read for fans of Ally Carter’s Heist Society and, as I always eagerly anticipate the next installment in Carter’s series, I now eagerly await the continuation of Avery’s adventures.
