Devil Darling Spy

by Matt Killeen

In this utterly gripping thriller, Sarah, the fearless heroine of Orphan Monster Spy, hunts a rogue German doctor in West Africa who might be a serial murderer.

Still hiding in plain sight as "Ursula Haller," the Shirley Temple of Nazi high society, Sarah Goldstein gathers information for Captain Floyd at parties, and when he learns of a German doctor who went rogue in West Africa, she wants to help him hunt the doctor down. Rumors say the doctor has discovered a tool of germ warfare known as "the Bleeding" that could wipe out whole nations. The journey begins as a thrilling adventure for Sarah but as they get closer to the doctor, and see more effects of "the Bleeding" in the communities they pass through, their trip turns from caper to nightmare. A biracial German/Senegalese girl who travels with them, a black French priest with a foul mouth, and the doctor's glamorous daughter round out the cast of this unbearably high-stakes thriller that pushes Sarah to face the worst humanity is capable of--and challenges her to find reasons to keep fighting.

Masquerading as the teenage Aryan Ursula Haller, Sarah Goldstein continues to spy against Nazi Germany. Set in 1940, she and the Captain travel to Africa to track down evidence that the Nazis are planning to use a biological weapon (using a highly contagious disease) to defeat the British and Americans (who have not entered WWII yet), using Japanese rocketry. Along the way, they pick up a black servant and there is a great deal made of racism and sexism throughout the book. Unfortunately, the book was way too slow, until the end when there were a few unexpected plot twists and Sarah, who has been decisive for almost the entire book, takes matters into her own hands to stop the deadly disease from being used by anyone. The battles at the end, and Killeen's afterword saved this book from the 2-stars it deserved for the first 3/4s of the novel.

Me encanta leer libros de este temática, y nada mas ver el titulo de este libro supe que tenia que leerlo.

Tengo que decir que ha sido una novela un poco montaña rusa, el libro empieza super fuerte, y hace que quieras seguir, pero llega un punto que se estanca que le da vuelta a lo mismo. Y el final, para mi ha sido muy bueno, muy bien cerrado y muy hilado todo.

La trama es muy interesante, tenemos a Sarah, que es una niña judía y que se está haciendo pasar por espía, hasta que la mandan a Africa para intentar "atrapar" a una medico que está "jugando" con un arma bacteriologica para usarla contra todo lo que le interesas a los nazis...

Con esa trama la historia pinta genial, y la verdad que ha sido muy interesante, pero como digo algo lento eso si con un final muy intersante y muy inesperado, Me han gustado mucho los personajes, cada uno con su cosa, y su historia que hace dudar de varios... y la ambientación tambien me ha gustado mucho, es un lugar del que he leido muy poquito y me ha gustado.

After reading and loving Orphan Monster Spy, I anxiously awaited the sequel.

This was a tough read for me. I appreciate that the author likes to base the plotlines on true events ("Lies will tie you up"), but this one felt muddled.

Sarah loses herself for most of this novel, and with it my attention was lost as well. She isn't smart, capable, or really remotely interesting for the majority of the book.

In the last few chapters the book (and Sarah) regain a sense of purpose and direction. After two weeks of slogging through, the last chapters grabbed me and I devoured them in a day.

Po „Sierocie, bestii, szpiegu” nadszedł czas na kontynuację tej wojennej opowieści, która zachwyci zarówno starszych, jak i młodszych czytelników.

Tym razem Matt Killeen zabiera czytelnika ze spowitej nazistowskim widmem Europy na rozpaloną ziemię Afryki, do Belgijskiego Konga, do świata, w którym zło panoszy się od dziesięcioleci. Biały Diabeł to nie tylko tajemniczy zwyrodnialec, który rozsiewa śmiertelną zarazę pośród tubylców. To metafora kolonializmu, bestialstwa, które osaczyło te ziemie dawno temu, a przed którym nie ma ucieczki. Wielkie globalne potęgi walczą o dominację nad światem, planują spiski, ale w kongijskiej dżungli nie zmienia się nic – potwór wymienił innego potwora i w podobny sposób tłamsi podwładnych mu ludzi.

Matt Killeen nie owija w bawełnę i nie bawi się w półśrodki – niczego nie koloryzuje, nie przerysowuje, nie ukrywa przed młodym i starszym czytelnikiem. Krew w jego powieściach jest prawdziwa, okrucieństwo jest prawdziwe, przemoc jest prawdziwa. Co jednak najważniejsze – jego wojna to wojna pełna kontrastów, która łączy rzeczywistość prześladowanych z rzeczywistością prześladujących. Ukazuje skomplikowane zależności i moralne dylematy, na które nie można odnaleźć prostych odpowiedzi, nawet po tych minionych już latach. II Wojna Światowa nadal trwa, podobnie jak pragnienie zemsty, jakie kieruje Sarą. Dziewczyna powoli usamodzielnia się, dorasta, tym samym dostrzegając więcej prawdy niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej.

„Diabeł, laleczka, szpieg” to wspaniała kontynuacja jej dziejów i wgląd w światową historię tamtych lat. Jednocześnie opowieść na tyle inna od pierwszego tomu, bo niosąca bardzo współczesne, do bólu prawdziwe przesłanie. Niby fikcyjna, a tak brutalna, tak realistyczna, że trafi do wyobraźni tak starszych, jak i młodszych czytelników.

FINALLY. I can't believe I finally finished this slog of a book.

To say this was a disappointment would be an understatement of epic proportions. The first book was fresh, exciting and fast paced. This was slow, repetitive and repetitive. Yes, I called it repetitive twice. For a reason. Ursula/Sarah has the same arguments with the same people over and over. She worries about the same things constantly (without doing much about it). There is lots of endless travel. She vomits approximately 50 times. A boat gets bombed. And then another one gets bombed. Etc, etc.

Sarah/Ursula is dumber in this book, and passive for a large portion of the book. The 'twists' were obvious and predictable. I also got confused about what exactly she and the Captain were trying to accomplish...but that could be just because I was so bored. Literally THE LAST SENTENCE is all that saved this from a one-star review.

Trigger warnings: war, antisemitism, racism, colonialism, vomit, illness, death, explosions, epidemic, medical experimentation on people of colour, gun violence.

3.5 stars.

This series is clearly trying to be a teenage girl James Bond in World War II, and it's doing a pretty good job of hitting the mark on that front. I was excited to read a book that deals with World War II in Africa, because I know very little about the impact of the war on Africa outside of Libya and the Rats of Tobruk (my great-uncle was among their number). And this did a great job of combining colonialism and racism with international war.

The middle kind of dragged for me - partly because I guessed who the villain was early in the piece and I just wanted to get to the point already - but the last third or so was pretty gripping. I'm interested to see if Killeen continues the series from here given the way the ending played out.

A DRC was provided by Edelweiss in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is the sequel I didn't know I needed, as Killeen did such a great and grimy job with Sarah Goldstein's WWII adventures in his first novel, Orphan Monster Spy. But you can't keep a good spy away from fighting the Nazis when it's only 1940 and Sarah is still stuck posing as Ursula Haller, German film star and Lolitaesque society minx. Sarah, Jewish, damaged and a genius, is also angry, ready for adventure and all too willng to go after a German doctor in Africa who's gone rogue with his germ warfare experiments. Menace lurks everywhere and at all times, as Killeen has again done his research on how many innocents were murdered, not just as wartime casualties, but as sacrifices to whatever colonial power was expanding its reach at the time. Killeen serves up gobs of seedy doings, both by those who intend evil and those who try to stand in its way, Sarah included. The story turns into a bit of a lecture on the evils of rampant unchecked power, however righteous. Sarah is put at risk only to miraculously escape just that one or two too many times, like a Marvel superhero on the loose. She is rather undermined by the lectures of those who don't think she has enough on her plate fighting the Nazis but should wake up to all the injustice in the world. One or two encounters like this are laudable, but repeated lectures begin to undermine our heroine's motivation. Most problematic is Sarah's Senegalese counterpart Clementine, a brilliant, damaged girl so exploited by all around her, but fully capable of taking bloody revenge while acting in her own interest. Both are troubled by their need for vengeance in the face of racism, sexism, and ignorance, and both are wildly underestimated. It's a pity Killeen has them at each other's throats rather than pairing them off to fight the next baddie together. Sarah continues to fascinate and repel but deserves fewer lectures and more opportunities to wreak her talents and be applauded for it.

La espia de Hitler es un thriller vertiginoso
Sarah, la protagonista de "Huérfana, monstruo, espía" se embarca en la búsqueda de un médico alemán, del cual se rumorea que está experimentando con un arma bacterológica. La amenza puede afectar a ciudades enteras 😰
Sarah es la identidad falsa de Úrsulla Haller.
En apariencia una niña , nadie puede sospechar 👀 que comienza a ser una joven y utiliza su aspecto para camuflarse junto al espía con quien trabaja, el capitán.
Con Sarah me he embarcado en un viaje ⛴ muy intenso‼️
En un principio me atrapó totalmente 😅
Me sentí muy cerca de Sarah y empaticé con ella enseguida.
Las referencias a momentos vividos ayuda a comprender mejor al personaje si no has leído la entrega anterior. Es una lectura independiente.
Hacia la mitad la narración es más densa, más detallada, para cambiar totalmente en la ultima parte 😏
El tramo final es espectacular 🔝
El ritmo es veritiginoso y la acción es una pasada. No te da tregua hasta llegar a un desenlace atroz 😱
No me esperaba el rumbo que tomaría la historia y me ha sorprendido mucho. Me he quedado literalmente con la boca abierta.
Lo he leído con el corazón en un puño 💔 Las barbaridades cometidas contra personas inocentes me han desgarrado el alma 😞
Tengo que destacar el impecable trabajo de documentación del escritor, es impresionante 🙌
La nota del autor explica con todo lujo de detalles acerca de las indagaciones 🧐 realizadas.
Si eres amante del género te recomiendo esta lectura que te ayudará a conocer una realidad que no debe quedar en el olvido🤬
Me ha encantado conocer la pluma 🖋 de Matt Killen, tan detallista y realista 😍

We've all heard the same sort of stories from WWII, fighting on the front lines, the fighter pilots and the blitz in London. What I haven't read anything about before, which is my own fault, is what was happening in Africa. Despite this being a World War, most literature, both fiction and non, is based within Europe. That is understandable to an extent, this is where things kicked off. But to have read nothing from Africa? Well that changed after I read Devil Darling Spy by Matt Killeen. The sequel to Orphan Monster Spy, this book follows our protagonists from the first book into Egypt and beyond as they attempt to track down a lethal disease that seems to be man made.

(this post is spoiler free for both books)

I think the way that Matt Killeen portrayed racism within this book was well done, it explored the white saviour trope and how our main character Sarah has implicit bias. I also enjoyed the "letters" that Sarah wrote in her head when things were getting too much. This book was a great progression on from the first book, whilst still taking things in a completely different direction. I adore Matt Killeen's writing, he is able to evoke powerful images in my minds eye as well as allowing you to empathise will all of the characters and their emotions.

I really do recommend picking both of these books up. Orphan Monster Spy delves into the life of young German girls, and Devil Darling Spy explores the less talked about aspects of the war and of white colonialism. Important topics to learn about and remember. I can't wait to read more from him.

I had mix feeling about this Worl War I spying novel. Its about women power, betrayal, and sisterhood. The protagonist and antagonist are women. Ironically, its show how powerful women can be when oppressed in dominan man world.

When man relayed on women for secrets digging, espionage, and destroying enemy, its really highlight the empowerment of women. The spy is a teenage girl who pretend to be 12 years old, finding secret on highclass German party. Ironically,she is also a Jewish Girl act as an Aryan. She met black girl which she save to act as her servant. Their bonding challenged with suspicious and confusion towards each other.Its sad how their sisterhood along this novel been broke with betrayal.

I like it when writer creatively put the women character a lot along the protagonist. It's show similiarty how women toughen by cruel circumstances that mould their characterization and action. Every women had their own conflict and try to put a brave face toward other people. When the antagonist also a women, it show that women can be good, soft, bad cruel, liar and hypocrite. Clearly, women can be dangerous and murderous than man. It's really make me feel good but also sad, how this world depressed us to make a choice and act to it☹️I think the writer its really brilliant, bring all the realistic of women as a complicated being emotionally and mentally.

This was a densely packed beast. I thoroughly enjoyed following Sarah through Orphan Monster Spy as she developed into the title titles... but this one was so involved that it needs to be at least two books!

While the ending of the first book was a bit implausible, I was entertained and riveted by the moves they were both making to take down a criminal yet this pulled in so many darker elements in both Africa and Japan that I felt really lost. With the amount of information, it was like The Family Romanov- I need it in a documentary where putting faces to names and motivations could clarify all that happened.

And that’s why Killeen excels because he wants to put it all out there. Likewise, this is firmly in the adult category where Orphan Monster Spy felt a little more cross category.

Młodzieżowe Bękarty Wojny z żydowską dziewczynką w roli agentki bardzo przypadły mi do gustu. Dlatego postanowiłam wrócić na front II Wojny Światowej i wraz z Sarą Goldstein vel Ursulą Haller odnaleźć szalonego naukowca w drugiej odsłonie cyklu Matta Killeena pod tytułem Diabeł, laleczka, szpieg.

Misja w Afryce.
"Jest rok 1940, a Sara Goldstein ukrywa się przed nazistami, zmieniając się w Ursulę Haller, ulubienicę śmietanki towarzyskiej stolicy hitlerowskich Niemiec. Pomaga aliantom, zdobywając informacje od nazistowskich generałów w czasie wystawnych przyjęć w eleganckiej dzielnicy Berlina, ale czuje, że mogłaby zrobić więcej.
Wtedy kapitan, szpieg, z którym pracuje, dowiaduje się o podejrzanym niemieckim lekarzu działającym w Afryce Środkowej. Plotka głosi, że mężczyzna eksperymentuje z bronią biologiczną i dysponuje wirusem dość groźnym, by unicestwiać całe miasta.

Zadaniem Sary i kapitana jest odnalezienie szalonego naukowca oraz przejęcie stworzonej przez niego broni – i to zanim naziści wykorzystają ją w walce. Dołącza do nich Clementine, udająca służącą pół-Niemka, pół-Senegalka, której ostrością języka i spostrzegawczością dorównuje tylko Sara. Kiedy podróżują przez tereny Konga i Gabonu, słowa Clementine zmuszają Sarę do zaakceptowania bolesnej prawdy, że masowa eksterminacja ludzi nie jest wymysłem nazistów."

Na fali?
Powiedzieć, że jestem zawiedziona tą odsłoną cyklu, to mało.

Owszem tytuł ma pewne plusy (ciekawy pomysł, przeniesienie akcji do Afryki Środkowej, poruszenie ważnego tematu broni biologicznej), ale mam wrażenie, że sama książka nie została przez autora przemyślana i dopracowana, przez co stała się swoistym „odcinaczem” kuponów po fantastycznym pierwszym tomie.

Możecie mi wierzyć, lub nie, ale Diabeł, laleczka, szpieg jest po prostu nudnawa. Fraza tempo akcji chyba zniknęła ze słownika autora, a zajęła je inna — opowiadajmy o niczym i żeby wydawało się profesjonalnie, doprawmy wszystko wstawkami w różnych językach.

Dodatkowo udawajmy, że bohaterka jest taka super, że w zasadzie może sama pociągnąć całą akcję. Wszyscy jej zawierzają, bo jej opiekun, po wypadkach z ostatniego odcinka nie potrafi poradzić sobie z własnymi demonami.

Jednak żeby nie było tak całkiem różowiutko, to ta sama super Sara jest łatwowierna i do tego wyniosła (tego nie grali w poprzednim odcinku). Wychodzi z roli a popełnione przez nią głupstwa, które powinny odbić się na misji, po prostu przechodzą bez echa.

I właśnie takie momenty uświadamiały mi, że historia jest naciągnięta jak „guma w majtach”, a cała szpiegowska atmosfera, która zachwyciła mnie w pierwszym tomie, jest tylko odległym wspomnieniem. Dlatego jeżeli macie ochotę na emocjonalną i klimatyczną powieść szpiegowską rodem z pierwszego odcinka, to Diabeł, laleczka, szpieg Matta Killeena nie będzie dobrym wyborem.

Thank you Usborne for this book in exchange for an honest review

Devil Darling Spy breaks my usual theory that sequels cannot be as amazing as the first but this proved me wrong.
Orphan Monster Spy was, in my opinion, a masterpiece. It had a great consistency throughout the book, from the characters to the plot, the whole book was written superbly. And Devil Darling Spy was no different.
Let’s dive into the setting because it is one of my favourites of all time. Devil Darling Spy, like Orphan Monster Spy is set in WWII, in the midst of the Nazi regime and is a thriller, ye you guessed it, spy novel!
We follow Sarah Goldstein on her grimy adventures as she is posing as Ursula Haller who is a German film star and social-light; when in reality Sarah is Jewish, angry but also a complete genius. This is set in Africa where a German doctor who has gone rogue and conducting dangerous and inhuman warfare experiments. Menace lurks in this dark time as the need to stop this German doctor heightens and Sarah is determined to put a stop to this monster.
Being a massive WWII buff who spent a fair amount of time studying this horrendous time of war, I have to appreciate the amount of effort that Killeen has gone through to capture the darkness of this time period, the ferocity of this war and the grim casualties that happen along the way. And as much as people think that this book is dark and doesn’t reflect the war correctly, I ask you to keep in mind that there was a German camp that used to skin their victims with tattoos and these were turned into gloves and lampshades. So it’s best to keep in mind that in times of war, nothing is too dark and nothing is out of the question when it comes of the human’s nasty capability.
With that in mind Killeen serves up the darkness of the war in a brutal yet interesting way that shows a true side of the darkness that could happen but also ensuring that the readers of this book don’t have nightmares for the rest of their lives.
There is a lot going on with this story which includes some of the following: racism, absent characters, drugs addictions, trauma, death and decay. With all these dark aspects of the book, don’t let it be off putting as the way that Killeen delivers this darkness is suitable and entertaining.
Overall this is a brilliant read and a realistic example of good vs evil with an action packed plot, intriguing characters and a book that has you wanting more and going off that ending I’m thinking that there should be a third book coming?? Or I hope so!! If you enjoy thriller books than this is the kind of one to add to your TBR pile!

I was looking forward to this second installment bc I thoroughly enjoyed the darkness and myriad characters of Sarah and the Captain in the first book. Simply put this was a hot mess. The Captain was barely in it and when he was he was shadow, barely a player in the plot. Sarah was a shadow as well. A lot of watching and taking crap from other characters. I waited for her to scheme and look for the angle and the beginning chapters definitely had those elements but there was so much plot devices it all became a hodge podge mess. With all the bombs that went off and how many times Sarah was hit in the head she should have had permanent brain damage at some point. The plot picks up again the last 100 pages or so but this storyline seemed very muddled and directionless compared the the tight knit formula of the first book. I don’t know if this is the end of the series. I definitely would revisit after hearing from reviewers.

[Deb · Rating 2 out of 5]

I like Orphan Monster Spy much better than this sequel. This one reads more like WW II historical fiction, with emphasis on the history. It's important history. It's interesting history. It's also a terrible, immoral, depressing, racist, colonialist, and violent story. Just because the main character is sixteen, it qualifies as young fiction, but I doubt it's very relatable for that age group.

In the first book, I really like the dynamic between the Captain and Ursula. I also like the interaction between the teenagers. In this one, the Captain is barely a character. Mouse gets mental letters and that's about it. I really struggled to push myself to read to the end.

Time for me to read a book that feels more engaging and compelling.

Mam taki problem z tą książką, że na początku bardzo mnie wkurzała, była nielogiczna, jakby pospieszona i nie wierzyłam w żadne relacje (koniec końców w tą jedną nadal nie wierzę), ale w miarę jak czytałam dalej wszystko zaczynało się klarować i wyjaśniać i uwierzyłam w wiele rzeczy (choć być może były lekko naciągane). Podobał mi się bardzo przekaz tej książki, szczególnie posłowie od autora. Miałam też takie dziwne wrażenie, że autor pisząc tą książkę miał w głowie sceny jak z filmu, bo opisy były bardzo filmowe i chyba na ekranie niektóre rzeczy lepiej by wybrzmiały. Jest jednak dobrze napisana, nieziemsko wciągająca, nie mogłam się doczekać, aż ją skończę i dowiem się co dalej. A skończyło się tak, że możemy dostać trzecią część, po którą na pewno sięgnę

3.5, rounded up. I didn't like this one as well as the first one - it just seemed like Sarah made SO many questionable choices and prevailed only by luck, over and over again. I think the author did a good job mixing history with fiction and depicting the evils of colonialism but I didn't find the main character as compelling in this one. I would definitely continue reading the series though :) Also, my library only had this one on audio and the narrator's voice was a bit grating. I think I would have preferred to continue in text.

[Lorraine Cannell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this sequel to Orphan Monster Spy. It felt like a fitting step forward in Sarah's tale, with a story painted in rich detail, characters and facts. Once I was three quarters of the way through, I found myself skipping pages to find out the ending, but that rich detail had me going back to properly appreciate some superbly woven plot twists along the way. And seeing Mouse at the end gives me hope that there is a sequel in the making.

YA hard packed suspense read. You really should read the 1st in the series, Orphan Monster Spy before tackling Devil Darling Spy. This is a gritty telling of a young jewish girl who gives her all to try and help the resistance against Hitler. This time she is hunting a rogue German doctor in Africa who just may be a serial killer and who has created a weapon of germ warfare and must be stopped.
