Karina Andrews is not like other girls. While other girls
may have parents that work as CEOS or senators, Karina's are
spies. When her parents go missing one day, it is up to her,
her little brother, and her friends to find out what
happened to them and who exactly they can trust.
TWO LIES AND A SPY is a fast-paced and fun young adult spy
novel. Karina is smart and sassy with plenty of realness
behind her to form a good connection to readers. She doesn't
live a normal life having spies as parents and a highly
intelligent brother, but when her parents go missing, she
hurts just as much as most teenagers, or anyone probably,
would. That makes her character both moving and relatable in
a situation that many would not usually find normal.
However, one of my favorite parts of this book is not any
one character specifically, but the humor in the dialogue
between them. Love triangles are not something I get excited
about, but the triangle between Karina, Luke, and Evan is a
quieter part of the story that uses great humor to build up
the tension between them instead of a heavy amount of angst.
It makes it a nice part of the story, though I would like to
see more of Luke instead of so much concentration on Evan.
The pacing Kat Carlton sets for the story is intense and
action packed, well-suited for a book about spies and secret
government goings on. Combine that with roughly under 250
pages, and you have a quick and enjoyable read in what I
hope is the first of a series to come. I would highly
recommend it for fans of James Patterson and other thrilling
spy novel reads.
Kari plunges into the world of espionage on a mission to
save her parents while trying to impress the guy she’s been
in love with forever.
When sixteen-year-old Kari’s dad
sends her an unexpected text, she and her brother
immediately go into hiding. Because when your parents are
superspies and your dad declares a Code Black, it can only
mean something bad. Very bad.
Kari soon discovers
that her parents have been disavowed and declared traitors,
and she’s determined to clear their names. Breaking into the
Agency seems like a reasonable plan, especially with the
help of a team that includes her longtime crush, Luke, as
well as her two best friends—an expert hacker with attitude
and a master martial artist—and Luke’s popular, vindictive
twin sister. Oh, and a new guy, who’s as cute as he is
complicated…
