After staking out, obtaining, and then being forced to give up her first boyfriend, Josh, all Cammie Morgan wants is a peaceful semester. But that's easier said than done when you're a CIA legacy and go to the premier school in the world...for spies.
Cammie may have a genius IQ , but there are still a lot of things she doesn't know. Like, will her ex-boyfriend even remember she exists? And how much trouble is she really in after what happened last semester? And most of all, why is her mother acting so strangely?
Despite Cammie's best intentions to be a normal student, danger seems to follow her. She and her best friends learn that their school is going to play host to some mysterious guests--code name: Blackthorne. Then she's blamed for a security breach that leaves the school's top-secret status at risk.
Soon Cammie and her friends are crawling through walls and surveilling the school to learn the truth about Blackthorne and clear Cammie's name. Even though they have confidence in their spy skills, this time the targets are tougher (and hotter), and the stakes for Cammie's heart--and her beloved school--are higher than ever.

This is just a fun series.
Seriously. I LOVE reading about Cammie's escapades through the school - her thoughts on rappelling, the bra incident (you'll know what I mean if you read it), how she works with her friends to bug rooms - it's just so much fun to read. Cammie is an interesting character, her friends are interesting, and it's believable. Well, ignoring the whole spy thing.
Also - the new boy Zach is much sexier than Josh. Just saying.
It's not a difficult read, or a particularly deep one, but it's great when you just want to sit and read something good. Not moving. Not with characters that you fall in love with. Just an honest, genuinely good book.
Besides, even my sister likes them, and she's super picky on what she reads. (She's already finished the series; I'm behind her! Eek!)
Overall Rating & Final Thoughts: 10/10. Sometimes all a book needs to get a ten is to be good.
Cover Thoughts: I love these covers. That is all.
