The Blonde Who Came in from the Cold: A Novel

The Blonde Identity Series, Book 2

De: Ally Carter

Narrado por: Andrew Eiden, Emily Ellet

An action-packed second-chance rom-com about two rival spies who must join forces in order to stay alive, from New York Times bestselling author Ally Carter.

Ten years ago, they joined the CIA.

Six years ago, he left the game.

Five years ago, they fell in love.

One year ago, she ran out into the cold with absolutely no intention of ever coming back.

And two minutes ago, they woke up, bloody and bruised and handcuffed together in the dark.

They don’t know where they are. They don’t know how they got there. And they have absolutely no idea who is after them or what this nameless, faceless villain wants.

The only thing that’s clear is that, after ten years of covers and chemistry, secrets and lies, these two rival spies have been sucked into their greatest mission yet, and now they’re going to have to team up to stay alive. (If they don’t kill each other first.)

Ally Carter wins again!

I’m a fan of all things Ally Carter! I devoured this book in a little over 24 hours. The twists & turns of the plot kept me guessing as to who would end up being the “bad guy”. 10/10 highly recommend!!

The storytelling and the chemistry!!

This was better than the first one (which I also loved). Alex and King’s story was so deep and powerful and I liked the jumping back and forth in time. I need a movie of this asap!!

Loved it!!!!

Ally Carter is my new fav author!! The only thing I'm upset about is that I hit 'the end'. Story is like a puzzle, winding around, back and forth, until... voila...

Couldn't put it down, but perhaps a little heavier on the family drama that her other books.

Just finished this one. I liked the story, lots of twists, turns and feels. Ally Carter is a favorite and I've been waiting for this one to come out.

But for the first time there was a character whose tragedy is still killing me, even after the book is done. It's not a main character, so don't be dissuaded from reading thinking there's going to be this awful ending - that's not the case. Also, I got lost a few times with the jumping back and forth in time. But it was a well built story with a wide variety of characters and backstories that make the world of the book come alive.

Would recommend! And will probably read again.

Love it

I loved it!!! Excellent storage plot. Love the romance. And absolutely adore the espionage. Overall loved it!

Perfect Escapism

This is a really fun book. I enjoyed the backstory. It was very amusing and made me laugh a lot.

Love Ally Carter

Ally Cater crafts an entertaining story with solid characters. Have read all her books. Hoping for more.

Give it a chance!

Okay listen, the first 3/4th of the book is tough to listen to because it’s a lot of bouncing back and forth from the future to the past HOWEVER you have to stick around because the ending is awesome and you find out a lot more about the characters. This is not like the previous book, it’s a lot darker and moodier. I definitely missed Zoey and Sawyer’s banter but Alex and King have a mature feel to them. It’s worth it for the ending, I promise!

love this sequel. action and romance.

I love the first book and this is just as good. I would recommend this series. I live all this author's books.

Best enemies to lovers I’ve read

This one took a few chapters to get into, but then I was committed. The enemies to lovers is very well done, and I love that she included Zoe and Sawyer in this story.
