A Spy Like Me

If you don't know Laura Pauling, then you must correct this egregious error by clicking on her link because she has one of the best writing blogs I know. BUT did you also know that Laura's book, A Spy Like Me debuts TODAY???? 

Laura researched (and believe me when she researches she researches) and decided that in her case self publishing was the best move. Well, I had an opportunity to read A Spy Like Me and I'm going to tell you about it right now. 


First, here's the description from Amazon: 
Stripping your date down to his underwear has never been so dangerous.

Seventeen-year-old Savvy Bent expects magic on her first date with Malcolm - in Paris! Except over a picnic of sparkling cider and strawberry tarts, a sniper shoots at them. From the top of the Eiffel Tower to the depths of the catacombs, Savvy must sneak, deceive, and spy to save her family and friends and figure out whether Malcolm is one of the bad guys before she completely falls for him. Or he tries to snuff her out.

I know! Stripping down to his underwear got me too. Laura won a first chapter critique on this blog and I LOVED her first chapter so much I couldn't wait to read the book. And read it I did. 

A Spy Like Me is a fun and fast read with a spunky heroine and a hot guy you aren't sure about until the end. Laura is a plot and structure guru so it does not surprise me in the least that structure was solid. But beyond that, the voice was nailed. I was in it with the MC from page one. The chapter ends were so good, I had trouble putting it down. It was a fast paced ride with lots of twists and turns. 

To me, spy novels are just as fantastic as paranormal. It's like becoming a superhero vicariously and how fun is that??

In celebration of the official release of A Spy Like Me, Laura Pauling is hosting a three-week blog series: A Spies, Murder and Mystery Marathon. Woot! Woot!

Authors galore, guest posts and book giveaways almost every day!

Gemma Halliday, Cindy M. Hogan, Elizabeth Spann Craig,

Stripping your date down to his underwear has never been so dangerous.
