Spy Society by Robin Benway – review

ABitCrazy: 'Spy Society is a bit like all the other spy books I've read but something about it made it better'
  
  


Maggie Silver enjoys being a spy, unlocking safes and breaking into buildings with her parents. But when she's sent to New York for her first assignment it turns out to not be as easy as it used to be when she had her parents' help. She finds herself making friends (something she's NOT meant to do because she moves so much) and falling in love, which isn't allowed both because of her travelling and because the boy, Jesse Oliver, is linked to the assignment.

She's in New York because some guy apparently knows something about The Collective (the spy company Maggie works with) and has photos and information about Maggie and her parents. Maggie's job is to pretend to be Jesse's friend and then find the files that The Collective need. It couldn't be easier!

I think Spy Society is a bit like all the other spy books I've read but something about it made it better. It's my favorite spy book! I can't wait to read the first one. I hope that Robin Benway writes more for the series but the end did feel final - it didn't leave any unanswered questions.

It ended with a typical spy book ending but I'm not going to tell you what that is just in case it isn't obvious to other people.

I think the characters are really good. I really liked the characters of Roux, Angelo and Jesse. The book I think it is most like - but not in a bad way - is The Gallagher Girl series by Ally Carter. If you liked The Gallagher Girl you should read Spy Society, and vice versa.

I personally think that Spy Society is better but I've only ever read one of The Gallagher Girl series. I would also recommend reading the first Also Known As (AKA) novel by Robin Benway.

I would highly recommend Spy Games if you like books about spies, romance, friendship and family.
