After traveling with her diplomat parents her entire life and spending the last 18 months running from safe house to safe house, Bekami, the Chechan terrorist who has been chasing her family is dead, and Sophia and her parents can retire from spy work and live a normal life in a small Montana town. Right. While Sophia wonders if American high school has more pitfalls than international diplomacy. Plus, there is the extremely gorgeous Aksel who seems annoyed by Sophia and attracted to her at the same time. Also, some guy seems to be following Sophia – but her parents said the danger was over and she should act as if everyone is an enemy. So many things can go wrong in school and in life. Sophia’s life was built on keeping the secrets – and secrets from many sources seem to surround her.
If you think this is about treachery in the American high school, you are so wrong. Along the lines of A Secret Service by Joy Jenkins and Not if I Save you First by Ally Carter – a taut spy thriller with plenty of intrigue and action. Sophia and her parents are white.
