Out of Sight, Out of Time (Gallagher Girls #5)

Cammie Morgan has no memory of what she did over the summer. Nothing. When she returns to the Gallagher Academy, she is surprised to find out how different it has become. Zach is a student, Bex isn't taking to her, Liz and Macey are pretending to be nice to her, and Joe Solomon is always unconscious. Somehow, Cammie has to get her memory, but that becomes hard when everyone is trying to stop you.





I love this series so much, and this new edition was not a disappointment in any way. It had action, romance, comedy, and lots of suspense. There were times in this book where I was like, "I know this is going to happen!" and it would. Also, there were other times where I would go, "I have no idea what so ever what's going to happen next!" There was a lot of interesting plot twists. Most of these plot twists had to do with characters. This book changed my opinion on certain characters. This book gave me a lot of emotion. When Bex, Liz, and Macey were mad at Cammie, it broke my heart. Whenever I think of this series, I think of Bex, Cammie, Macey, and Liz as best friends. I thought that there was nothing that could tear them apart or ruin their friendship. But when I got to this book, I wanted to cry because everything I knew about these four best friends had changed, adn not in a good way. I loved Zach a lot in this book. There have always been two ways I thought of Zach: spy Zach, and boyfriend Zach. I felt like I got to see more of the boyfriend side of him in this book. In the last one, they had a lot going on, and he was very busy running around, so I saw more of the spy guy. But in this book, they spent a part of the book at the Gallagher Academy relaxing a little bit. Therefor, I saw more of the boyfriend. He got jealous, and acted really sweet. When he was acting really sweet, I just wanted to start cheering because he was acting like the best boyfriend ever! I loved that portion of the story so much.

As I said earlier, this book did not disappoint me in any way. This is true so I have no complaints whatsoever on this story. It gets five out of five stars hands down, and I really recommend this series for people who enjoy romance, action comedy, and girls kicking butt. I really hope you liked my review, and if you did please comment of follow my blog. Keep reading!

Only The Good Spy Young by Ally Carter


















I recently finished reading Only The Good Spy Young by Ally Carter. This is the fourth book in the Gallagher Girls Series. It is probably by far my favorite of these stories, but of course I have some complaints. But first, I have a good thought. This edition, was kind of like a reunion. They must have had every character who has ever appeared come back for the fun. Cammie, Bex, Liz, Macey, Headmistress Morgan, Mr. Solomon, Abby, Zach, (no Josh though) The Baxters, and The Circle Of Cavan. The beginning of the edition is great! I love the way Ally Carter thought of making a dearly beloved *character* is actually evil. I couldn't have ever changed Ally Carters words into my own. One of the main things I love in books that this one really had, was how one thing led to another. Like, how if Cammie hadn't been spending the summer with the Baxters, she may never have found out anything, or how if Agent Townsend had never came to The Gallagher Academy, they never would have found out some REALLY important info. The best thing about Agent Townsend (new CovOps teacher) is how he is so mysterious, and full of lies, also it's like, no one trusts him, he's probably evil, and then BANG!!!!! He's a good guy! The middle was still consistent, ok, not great, but fine. The only really good thing about the middle part of the story is how Zach comes back! Man I love that boy. I know I've said it before, and I can tell you I'll say it again, but I would totally date that boy! The end part of the story is kinda like walking on a mountain, first it goes up, then it goes down, and then it goes up again! I love all of the surprises, but my absolute favorite one is when you find out the connection Zach has with the leader of the Circle Of Cavan. But I do have a few problems. First of all, they give you too many surprises at the end of the book, it would have been a lot better if Ally Carter had spread out the surprises. Also, this is gonna sound weird, but I would have enjoyed a little more kissing. I can tell you, they kiss once of twice. To get down to it, I would give this book four stars out of five (have you ever noticed how The Gallagher Girls books seem to get a lot of four stars). I gave it four stars because even though I know I had a lot of complaints, it had what all of the Gallagher Girls books have, great creativity and imagination!

Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover by Ally Carter


















Today I'll be reviewing yet another one of Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls books, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover. In this book, Cammie goes to see her friend Macey in Boston because her Macey's father is running for vice president. Then, some kidnappers try to get Macey and Cammie, and... I'm NOT going to tell you any more!! Well, I really enjoyed this book and it's probably my favorite so far of the Gallagher Girls books. I think that this one had just a little
bit less imagination than the other ones, except for Ally introducing some new, interesting characters.

Some of the new characters are Abby Cameron, Cammie's aunt, and I think that may be it! I really didn't like though how she made Josh show up in the middle of one scene, and then have him out of the scene in two sentences, and not even let him say one line! Anyway, I have a really hard time writing reviews for the Gallagher Girls book, so I'm really sorry that is so short. Overall, it gets four stars out of five, so pretty good!

Off topic, I've started reading the next one in the series, Only The Good Spy Young, and then I'll be reading The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies, and then the Hex Hall Series by Rachel Hawkins. Love my readers! Write soon!

Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy by Ally Carter



















Yo, so I actually finished this book about three days ago, but I forgot, so I'm writing my review now! Well, you know I have already read the first one. To make it simple, I didn't like this one as much as the first one. I really liked this one, but I just didn't love it as much as I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You. I didn't enjoy how they made Josh and Cammie break up, but I did like Zach. I would rather date him then Josh. I really loved how Ally Carter had the imagination to come up with a boys school just like the Gallagher Academy. I'm actually having a really hard time writing this review. The beginning and middle were great, but the ending wasn't exactly what I wanted. I didn't like that the teachers were just giving them all a test. Even though I really did believe that the teachers were the bad guys, I still was a little disappointed when I finished the book. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to almost everyone, but, READ THE FIRST BOOK BEFORE YOU READ THE THIS ONE OR THE NEXT ONES!!!! It's very important!!!! Overall, it gets 4 stars. Anyway, I've already started reading the next book in the Gallagher Girls series, Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy. I'm really loving it so I should be done pretty soon. My estimated time is about four to five days. But, keep tuned in because I might finish sooner!
Keep on reading!
