Devil Darling Spy by Matt Killeen

4.0

I loved Orphan Monster Spy with every bone in my body & Devil Darling Spy is an even darker story that’s incredibly interesting & one that I learnt a lot from. Sarah is forced to do a lot of growing up in this book & the journey she goes on forces her to reassess the way she sees the world & left both her, & I, really deep in thought. I very much respect Matt for the decisions he made when writing this book as he has chosen to explore parts of World War 2 that we don’t really see in mainstream YA literature & that’s something that really makes this book stand out. I really cannot wait for book three!

⚠️ This book is set during World War 2 so is full of war themes including racism, anti-Semitism, violence, murder, references to rape & sexual assault, mass murder by arson, testing medicine & poisons on animals & humans, discussions of colonisation, slavery, mass drownings & drug addiction ⚠️
