Have to say these two books were so cute. Great story line and super intriguing. I could not wait to see what happened next. I'm definitely looking forward to more of the series in order to get my answers.
I have finished reading this entire series and it kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. It’s extremely well written, the characters are incredible, and I felt like I was actually part of the story alongside the characters. I cannot wait until I can read more by Jillian Dodd. Easily one of my favorite authors!
DNF. Great premise, but the writing style had too much telling. Still, I could have overlooked that if not for the exaggerated Mary Sue heroine.
Even the dean of her spy school (of which she is apparently the valedictorian because OF COURSE she is) goes on and on about how beautiful and perfect she is, which is like... What? Why?
Read more like a 14-year-old’s self-indulgent Wattpad fic than a story about a character who could learn and grow. I know some people love perfect heroines for that wish-fulfillment buzz, but I guess it’s just not my cup of tea.
So Spy Girl - no surprise, given the title - adheres pretty closely to the axioms of the 007-type of spy novel. Pretty much the only difference is that the protagonist is a much younger, much hipper 007. Huntley Von Allister is one of those begrudgingly perfect heroines who has survived an unfortunate childhood to become obscenely wealthy, outrageously fashionable, an excellent markswoman and a deadly assassin. Plus, she has a penchant for driving fast luxury cars, well, really fast. The exact circumstances of her childhood that lead up to this point are shrouded in mystery - not just from her but from the reader as well. Personally, I had hoped to have learned more about her past by the end of the first novel but if anything I was left with more questions than answers. By the second novel the plot really got interesting but that past - of which all those who know aren’t talking - was no more revealed than it was in the first book. Frustrating…. Don’t get me wrong, if you’re looking to fuel your spy fantasy - the one in which you (as the heroine) are an insanely rich tabloid darling who always gets the guy, saves the day and (SPOILER ALERT!) become knighted - this book is for you.
This set contains the first two books (The Prince and The Eagle) in the Spy Girl series. These books should not be read as standalones as they all end without the story being over and begin where the previous book ended. This set makes it easy to read the first two books. There is violence and sex so 18+. I didn't like the first book when I started it, and you really have to suspend your belief for this storyline (two unknown heirs to a huge fortune). But the storyline and the characters began to grow on me as I read. It isn't a great overall storyline, but it ends up being worth reading. Now to see what happens next.
A compelling story, with all the fantastical parts that make this a great read. The main character is perfect in every way, taking the reader through every emotion possible, as well as the many various predicaments she is faced with and overcomes. Definitely recommend this to all who love a good action packed adventure mixed with romance.
I was a little iffy about the main character at first but once her mission started I was hooked and thought the story was great. Each new piece of information, mission related or past events, kept me reading waiting to find out what happened next. I will be purchasing the next books in the series.
This is new adult not a young adult book. If you don't look too deeply into the story it is an enjoyable read. If you do look deeper you may be bothered by the switching between being the perfectly trained spy and making stupid mistakes. Also these books don't stand alone. It looks like you have to read them all to get the answers. I just wasn't invested enough to buy the next book.
Spy Girl: Books 1-2 (Spy Girl #1-2) was a great read by Jillian Dodd. These books consist of; The Prince, and The Eagle. They follow Huntley, an eighteen year old covert agent. She was pulled out of training before her graduation by Black X, which is an espionage group. These books follow her first two missions. I really enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by Jillian Dodd.
I enjoyed reading the storyline. Finding out that your past may be incomplete and there is more in your present life than you know. Can you really trust anyone? I can actually see this being made into a movie.
While book one was amazing!! I struggled to get through book two. While the story line was good. I felt that the story seemed to drag on. While things are coming to light for Huntley. She is now unsure who she truly works for and who the real bad guys are.
This story grabs your attention from the beginning and takes you along on the adventure. Its a must read it makes it feel as if your apart of the story. It’s full of suspense, laughter, and romance. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Honestly one of the body books I've read in my life!!! It made me happy and sad, angry and satisfied. I really want to visit Motrinivia (probably spelled that wrong). Definitely deserves five stars!!!!!
This book just popped up in my Kindle for free and me wanting to read a casual romance I went ahead. What I found was a well written albeit sometimes a bit dodgy account of surreal characters. But enjoyable and fast paced though
Did not intend to become so engrossed by these characters, but they grew on me. Can't wait to start the next book. Too many answers that I have not gotten yet.
A plot full of twists, romance and intrigue. Great cast of characters, heroes and protagonists. Each book creates more questions that keep you searching for the next.
fue un libro entretenido y ligero que me gusto leer luego de los últimos fiascos. Y aunque no entiendo porque no puede tenerlos a todos los chicos guapos, soy yo siendo glotona.
