-------------------------Goodreads summary

The Goods

Meeting the Team after Kelly gets her first mission. Hilarious.

The action once they leave the compound.

I love the idea of each one being brilliant in their own way.

The Bads

How cliche is it to have a blonde barbie model girl actually being a computer coding nerd?

Kelly kind of annoys me. She's just not very likable.

Predictable. If I tell you the premise, you can probably tell me the entire story.

The Consensus

A fun read, and I hope I can track down the rest of the series somewhere!

The Recommendation

Check it out from the library when you need a fast, light read.
