Synopsis:

Ten days in Sydney, Australia with my first boyfriend! My Spring Break couldn’t be better. Sure, it’s a mission for GASI, but we lucked out with our cover story. We are boyfriend and girlfriend traveling with a group of American high school students.

I mean, sure, we have some terrorists to stop. And some of the teens on the trip aren’t the nicest. Then there’s this guy, Aaron, who seems to be watching us. With Grandma, Nic, Christie, and some help from the Australians, how can we lose? Except some of our help is actually a hindrance and we’re down to the wire on stopping the terrorists from blowing up the Sydney Tower. The brutal truth is that missions fail, but can we live with ourselves if we don’t succeed?

My rating: ★★★★☆

Will and Amanda's next mission is in Australia where they're trying to stop some explosions from taking place. Luckily for them, this time around they're going undercover as boyfriend and girlfriend! Oh yeah! ;)

I loved it so, so much! It was very exciting and adventurous and just so sweet and romantic! I did feel like we didn't get enough of Christie and Nic though. There's just something up with them, and I don't know what... Hmmm...

I really liked the new characters we met, especially the new Aussie spies! They were just so cool!

There were actually a couple of twists I did not see coming... Like, whoa! What?! There was one particular... person that just shocked me. The jerk-face -_- I was actually warming up to the traitor when bam! We find out that, well, he's a traitor! Ugh! The story was also very suspenseful towards the end, which I loved! However, as was the case in the last book, the fight scene was sort of anticlimactic since we don't really get to see it =/ Then we were told how things end (not shown) But I kind of forgave them since it was extremely hilarious! You go birds, you go! ;D

But I really love this series, nonetheless. It's just so much fun and I always have a blast reading any of Juli's books! I cannot wait for her to publish her next novel!

  1. Glad that you enjoyed the book even if the ending was "told" and not "shown", that usually bothers me quite a bit!

    1. It would bother me too, but it actually wasn't a very big part of it! It's a great, fun series overall :)
