The Blonde Who Came In from the Cold by Ally Carter
3.5
I was instantly pulled into The Blonde Who Came in from the Cold. This was my first time reading an espionage story and it was a fun one. The writing was super easy to get into, the dual POV and dual timeline kept things interesting, and it had that constant who can you trust vibe that I love in a mystery.
That said, I didn’t realize it was a sequel until I was already in deep (oops), and while the enemies to lovers angle worked here, it was a little fluffier than I usually go for. Romance isn’t my favorite part of a story, but it didn’t overpower the mystery, which I appreciated.
Overall, it felt like a cozy spy mystery with some action, some sass, and a few good twists. Predictable in parts, but not in a bad way. If you’re curious about espionage but want something lighter and character-driven, this one’s a fun pick!
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyage for an early copy of this book, but as always, all thoughts are my own.
