Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover

Gallagher Girls, Book 3

De: Ally Carter

Narrado por: Renée Raudman

When Cammie Morgan arrives at her friend Macey's five star hotel for the Democratic National Convention - where Macey's father is about to receive the vice presidential nomination - she thinks she's in for an exciting end to her summer break. But if you're a Gallagher Girl, "exciting" and "deadly" are never far apart.

Things quickly go south when Macey is summoned to the hotel roof to shoot a PR piece with the presidential candidate's son. But instead of cameras, attackers descend from a helicopter and swarm the girls, commanding, "Grab her." After a narrow escape, Cammie and Macey find themselves at a top secret hideout owned by the Gallagher Academy...and thus begins Cammie's junior year at spy school.

Cammie doesn't need her genius IQ to see that the kidnapping attempt has changed everything, especially now that Macey is a major celebrity, and the school has been besieged by news crews. More disturbing, Cammie can't shake the suspicion that her mom and Mr. Solomon know more about the attack than they're letting on. After all, why weren't the attackers surprised to find themselves in combat with two teenage girls who handled themselves like seasoned pros?

But these suspicions won't stop Cammie from jumping at the chance to join Bex and Liz as Macey's private security team on the campaign trail. Before long, the girls are using their espionage skills at every turn, as Cammie gets closer and closer to the shocking truth...

Awesome female lead!

My sister and I went on a roadtrip a few months back and choose this as a book we could both enjoy on the 12 hour trip. We loved it! The Raudman does a great job of capturing Cammie's panic and excitement as she continues her training at the Gallagher school. This was one of my favorites in this series and I'm saving the next two for our next roadtrip!

Not realistic...but it's fiction, right?

**NO SPOLIERS IN THIS REVIEW ABOUT THIS BOOK :)**
About this book: Cameron Ann Morgan has just had a pretty good last semester, she managed to mostly get over her first boyfriend and first kiss, Josh. She has met a new friend, Zac. Sammie never know s if Zac is on her tail. But the summer before Cammie's next year at The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Woman. Sammie is invited to Boston to be the +1 with her best friend, Macy Mckenry at a National Political Convention. Macy's father is trying to become Vice President for the United States of America. But Macy's mind is on other things. But then Cammie's world turn upside down . She finds herself stuck on a rooftop in Boston with people who want to kill her.

My review: I've review ed the first two books in this series! For me, this has been the best book so far in the serires! I personally feel that in this book, we see more spy and less boys, which I like. I also love the narration, the narration is smooth and the narrators voice is like honey. In this book, Cammie leads about terrible people who want to.kill her, she gets stronger and becomes the warrior, not the worrier. Cammie also learns who is by her side and who isnt . I definitely recommend this amazing book and the rest of Ms. Carter's work.

NARRATION.QUALITY: This book was amazing, including the narration quality. I could feel Cammie's nervousness and pain. The accents and voices of the other characters were good.

BLUSH FACTOR: Not much.

RECCOMENDATION: Anyone can read this, I recommend this to teens and adults (12+).

Thanks for reading my review!

Best of Gallagher Girls yet!

Super well written mysteries /spy novels with great peppering of friendship/romance even for adults. The settings are lovely, the characters well developed, interesting and just different enough to be fun. I enjoy that I don't always figure out what is going on mid-way through the story. And the best part...I am learning spy techniques while I read. Or am I?

Absolutely love this series!

I absolutely adore this series. It's full of fun twists. Dramatic to an extent--but not so hyped up as most teen novels of today.
