A review by krys_and_books
The Spy Who Raised Me by Ted Anderson

3.0

The Spy Who Raised Me is a fun, quick read about Josie Black (J.B.) finding out that her mom has raised her as a sleeper agent without her ever knowing. J.B. now needs to decide if she’s going to live the life her mom wants for her or if she’s going to live her own life.

This was a fast paced adventure. J.B. accidentally finds out her mom has trigger words that control her skills and memory when her mom fails to use them right away before a mission she’s being sent out on. From there J.B. picks apart the truths and lies of her life with the help of her best friend Zoe and has to decide who she wants to be and what she wants to do with the skills she’d been given without her consent.
Is J.B.’s loyalty to her blood and the company that gave her the skills she has, or is to something else?
***
J.B. was a fun character who adapts incredibly quick to what’s going on and goes with the flow. The best part of the story was Zoe and her dedication to her friend and willingness to follow her into danger to make sure she’d come out on the other side alright.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
