Book Review: Gallagher Girls: Only the Good Spy Young

                                                 Only the Good Spy Young Review
In the fourth book of Gallagher Girls series Cammie is put under major protection due to an ancient order named the Circle being after her and early on in the book Cammie is told that her CoveOps teacher Joe Solomon is part of the circle. The book does a great job of making it clear why Cammie would refuse to believe that Mr.Solomon is part of the circle because she's right about his actions not making sense if he was her enemy and she has plenty of reasons to believe that he does care about her and her mother but at the same time there is also a lot of evidence that proves he was part of the Circle. I really enjoyed seeing Cammie and her roommates try to prove that Mr.Solomon isn't a bad person.

The twist about Mr.Solomon being part of the Circle only really works because there was more to the story then just Mr.Solomon being secretly a bad guy. Mr.Solomon actually being someone who was recruited by the Circle when he was very young and seeing that the Circle are the bad guys which has led to him trying to bring the Circle down from within for years now and to just general make amends for his past misdeeds is something that I find both interesting and believable for Mr.Solomon's character.

In this book Cammie also learns a lot more about the mysterious Zach. I liked that we learn that Blackthorne is an academy that trains assassins rather than the type of spy Gallagher academy does and I like how Cammie highlights how even though the two of them share a lot of the same skills their two schools couldn't have been more different. I like how Cammie actually sees Zach's vulnerable side a bit and even gains a bit more understanding of who he is because of the experiences that the two go through together in this book.

Through out the book Cammie has seen that the people that she cares about are in more danger from the Circle than she is because the Circle wants her alive for some reason. I liked how the whole book pretty much built up to Cammie's decision at the end of the book to go out on her own in order to get the answer she needs but no one wants to tell her.

I overall loved this book it might even be my favorite book of the whole series so far. I loved all the plot twists and revelations. I loved the characters and their relationships as much as I always do. Please tell me your thoughts on this book.
