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.

Summary: If You LOVE "I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You"
Comment: Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy is even better than I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You! This second Gallagher Girls novel has more adventure, espionage, and boy questions than the first, taking everything a step further.

In this second book, find out what happens when the Gallagher Girls get some new students at their school. Will the new students blend in seamlessly or will there be deadly tension? Also, find out if Josh still remembers Cammi--and whether these two will end up back together.

If you read the first Gallagher Girls novel, the second book is a MUST!

Summary: Good Sequel-Lacking in Josh :(
Comment: **SPOILERS**

I'm so glad I finally got my hands on this one, thanks to the library!
Overall, I like Josh more than Zach, so I was disappointed that she seemed to get over him so quickly. I also thought there'd be more about her mother, but no. The summary greatly over exaggerates this. I really hope the third book tells us more about her history, it sounds really exciting! This book did more to the character development, but it's still lacking in both writing and development, but yet again, the plot dominates.
Random bits of awesome. There was not one, but TWO, count them, TWO, Buffy references (Love how I'm catching & understanding these, EVERYWHERE). Kaitlin with a K and Caitlin with a C cracked me up cause I probably know a K/Caitlin with every possible spelling of the name. I was glad that we got to see Josh at all, cause at the end of the last book & the beginning of this one, I was doubting it, not so happy to see him with DeeDee, sweet as she is. [Although I kinda wish we could get her side of the story]. Wonder if we'll see him in the next book, or if his story's been told. Carter did a great job planting those clues making us all suspect Zach, I did not see that ending coming, not at all.
The scene where Cammie told her mom about seeing Josh and that whole part, that was definitely the best. I love that connection of theirs, and argh, I want to learn MORE.
And come on, don't tell me I'm the only one picking up a major vibe between Cammie's mom and Mr. Solomon! Let's hope we see some more of that in the third book!

Summary: I Heart This book!
Comment: This is a follow up to Ally Carters, I'd tell you I love you but then i'd have to kill you, book. Out of the two, this one is my favorite! Not only is there a new BOY character, but just about all of the characters from the first are here as well. This book will keep you on your toes from start to finisih; you can't help but to feel all the characters emotions, and I find myself laughing everytime I read it. This is a must read and its great for all ages, but I would suggest 6 grade and up.

Summary: Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy
Comment: This is a great book for 6th grade through 9th grade girls. Even some boys may enjoy this book. This book does not contain any inappropriate words or content. Teachers can feel safe about adding this one to their classroom libraries. It is as good as the first book about Galagher Academy Girls. It contains all the adventures of spy school with a little romance thrown in. I am looking forward to reading the 3rd book in the series.
