Excerpt:
I know the drill. Open my orders, commit them to memory, destroy them.
X X X
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
Protect the heir to the throne of Montrovia, uncover the person or persons behind the plot to assassinate him in order to take control of this geographically important sovereign nation, and eliminate the threat.
Get close to the hottest Prince on the planet and work for Black X, the double-black covert group so secret even the President of the United States is on a need-to-know basis?
I accept.
I think about what he said about me looking good in a bikini. Do they want me to hookup with this Prince in order to protect him? Are you kidding me? I’m valedictorian. I have the school’s highest scores in everything from parkour to the number of ways I can kill a man.
I frown as I’m burning my orders in the fireplace. “Sir, may I speak freely about my assignment?”
“I’m afraid I’m not privy to your orders. My job was to help choose the student best fitted for the task based on the parameters given to me.”
“And one of those parameters was that I look good in a bathing suit?”
He chuckles. “In this situation, my dear, they need an operative who is not only the best and brightest but one who can also demand male attention. Your handler is waiting for you outside. You leave immediately.”
“But I need to go pack. Tell people goodbye.”
“I’m afraid there’s no time.” He stands up and, in an uncustomary show of emotion, hugs me briefly. “Godspeed, X.”

***ARC received for an honest review***
“How do I trust anyone when they
didn’t trust me enough to tell me the truth?”
Jillian Dodd never fails to engage me in her tales of youth,
fashion and drama and in her brand new YA/NA series we have an added twist. Spy
Girl is exactly what it says on the cover, we have secret covert Spy Missions,
a girl who was trained for eight years in all things spy, a kickass heroine who
has no fear and was top of her class in everything and a girl who was willing
to do anything to get the job done. Think of a cross between James Bond, Spy
Kids and Nancy Drew and you will have Spy Girl.
Spy Girl is "X" an orphan that was put in the spy
academy at the tender age of 14, now 22 she is fully trained and has just been
given her first mission. "X" to me was a younger version of a kick
ass Angelina Jolie in Mr & Mrs Smith that had all the moves to back up her
reputation as being the best of the best, this girl has balls and is not afraid
to use them. X or Huntley, the name her persona was given was fearless,
stubborn and intelligent, but to me her greatest asset was herself. She was
beautiful on the outside but just as beautiful on the inside too and it was
these character traits that really helped her infiltrate and commandeer the attention
of the Montrovian royalty.
“The measure of love is to love
without measuring.”
First mission ~ protect the Prince of Montrovia at all costs
and take out the enemy.
Montrovia to me was glamourous Monaco, with all its fashion,
high end retail, yachts, casinos and its own monarchy, so while reading, I had
this little rich man’s playground firmly in my thoughts. Through vivid imagery
I was there in spirit with Huntley von Allister, her brother and their bunch of
“spy” friends. One of the first rules of Spy Academy is to not become
emotionally involved, but this is Jillian Dodd we are talking about and none of
her books would be complete without her “hotties” and Spy Girl is no different…there
are plenty. This book, in true Jillian Dodd style has some fantastic chemistry
and will certainly have people picking teams as Huntley fights her way through
this mission. In a playboy’s playground and with other hottie spies there was
an abundance of temptation and a girl only has so much restraint.
While this book is action packed we also have the underlying
story of who Huntley is and how she ended up in the Academy so the suspense and
intrigue follows through on two angles, firstly, who is trying to kill the
Prince of Montrovia and two, who is Huntley von Allister? Jillian Dodd weaves a
fascinating tale while perfectly balancing it with humour, great dialogue and
her fun and flirty persona that is prevalent throughout. With kids living the
life of riley and gadgets and gizmos aplenty this book has something for everyone
and will appeal to the spy in all of us and brings together a fun, flirty and
thrilling read.
“How do I know you’re not part of
whatever this scheme is?”
“You don’t, Spy Girl. But you
have to trust someone.”
I cannot wait to see what Spy Mission “X” is put on next,
while this mission may be complete there is still so much to learn. This series
has endless possibilities and has longevity stamped all over it, I for one
cannot wait and as I have always said, this author always brings out the
younger me and I love living vicariously through her stories and her
characters.
“Insomuch as love grows in you,
so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.”
Another great addition to my Jillian Dodd bookshelf.
