Review: A Spy Like Me - Laura Pauling

Review: A Spy Like Me - Book #1 Circle of Spies - Laura Pauling - November 2013


Since I am no longer working at the library, it has given me the chance to finally start to clear up my kindle. One of my favorite tropes for YA books is spy novels which started with my love of Harriet the Spy back when I was 8/9 years old. In Circle of Spies, we meet Savannah aka Savvy Bennett. She is living in Paris with her father who runs a fun Spy Adventure company called Spy Games which has people running around the city acting like spies. She is still learning how to get on with her dad as up to a few months back, she lived with her mum. That was until her Mum vanished without a word. Now she is settling in with her dad and even found a potential boyfriend but of course, we are about to learn things aren't easy for Savvy as her perfect picnic date ends in bullets flying, and when she spots her mum briefly in France and her new best friend has vanished and Savvy just knows she has been abducted. During all this Savvy must not only save the day but keep up appearances with her dad and prove to him she is trying to rebuild their relationship. Also, at the end of this book, Savvy gets a big surprise about her bloodline and family that she never saw coming. This surprise and twist are what opens the way to the rest of the series.
