Double Crossed by Ally Carter

Title - Double Crossed Author - Ally Carter 77 pages Time It Took for to Read - 1 Day Rating - 4 out 5 Stars

This was a sampler of Ally Carter writing. There are three stories in this sample book with the first being a complete mini story and the other two just samples. Each story focuses on a different Gallagher Girl and full of teen espionage and intrigue with parents, boys, friends and school all tossed in for balance and good measure.

First story was Society Heist where Macey, rich and privileged teen spy, meets handsome master thief Hale. They join forces to try and stop a band of men that take them hostage.

Story 2 - Meet Kat, Hale's girlfriend, sort of. Also a master thief and trying to start a different life. Set in a different time and place than Socirty Heist, get to know more about Kat.

Story 3 - Meet the Gallagher Girls- America's teen spy ring and their beginnings, their spy school. This is the introduction of these teen super spies. A get to know them snippet.

I liked each of the stories and the end of each was left wishing it was a full story. If spy thrillers, intrigue, flirting, wit and suspense are what you like, than this book will tease your palate and make you fan of Ally Carter.

I believe Amazon has a free download!

I received a free download from NetGalley and have not been compensated for my review. My review is my own opinion.

Clouds by Robin Jones Gunn

Title - Clouds Author - Robin Jones Gunn 288 pages Time It Took for to Read - 1 Day Rating - 4 out 5 Stars

This way my first read from Robin Jones Gunn and I enjoyed it. I am a lover of romance and I wasn't disappointed. Robin did a good job at keeping you wanting more but giving you just enough to keep reading. While there a few points I accuratelu guessed what would happen before I read it, I wasn't deterred from continuing to read because she made the journey to the obvious fun.

I love that the characters are Christians and it is woven into the theirs lives. There was a time or two I felt the Christianity forced into the that particular part of the book, but not enough to be annoyed. When Gunn did shed light of moral and Christian values it didn't feel preachy but wise. Even when the speaker at the camp spoke (preached) it read like a friend talking to another friend without judgement. I really enjoyed it.

There were times when I laughed out hysterically and times when I felt what the characters were described as feeling. All in all I liked the book and would read another one of her many books.
