United We Spy, by Ally Carter

somewheregirl7's review

4.0

After recovering her memories, and, more importantly, the names of the Circle of Cavin families, Cammy and her friends must help to track down the families before the circle can put a nefarious plot in place to start world war III.

As fun, fast-paced and ridiculously enjoyable as the other books in this series, United We Spy was a perfect holiday read. I wanted something light and entertaining and this perfectly fit the bill. I love Cammy and her friends, I love their friendship and kick-ass attitude. I love the complete insanity and improbability of the plot because it's just enough over-the-top to invite you in rather than making me run screaming in the other direction.

I was sad to see this is the last of the Gallagher Girls series, but it was a good ending and a perfect compliment to the other books.

I honestly love the series and I really liked this book but the reason it is not a five star is that it seems like it was slightly rushed. If it had more detail and explanation it would have been above a five star for me. It also could have been the fact that I haven't read the whole series together in awhile. But I really did like it and I would still recommend this series to anyone of almost any age

I was a little sad to read this book. Ever since I read the first Gallagher Girl book I’ve wanted to be one of them. So knowing that this book was the end of the series was bitter sweet. Whilst I was a little devastated to be reading a new instalment of this series for the last time – I was thrilled to once again be a part of Cammie’s world.
Cammie is a different girl from the start of this series and it’s a delight to see her grow into a young woman. She may be hell-bent on revenge but her motivation is clear and I couldn’t help but be on her side against The Circle and Catherine. This book is a little more serious following the change in mood from Out of Sight, Out of Time with the humour from the earlier books being less apparent. Despite the more serious nature of United We Spy – it’s still the same world that I fell in love with all those years ago with the characters that I have grown to adore.

This book is full of twists and turns all the way to the end – I felt like this book was the perfect ending to a brilliant series. I felt like the characters and author were just as emotional about leaving the series as I was and that added to the overall vibe of the book.

If you’re a fan of the previous books – United We Spy is a must read! And for anyone who hasn’t read any of the Gallagher Girls series, I strongly recommend them. There’s action and drama and one of the best non-paranormal young adult series I’ve read.

I started these books in middle school and only made it to the third book. Three years ago, I decided to start rereading them. At first, it was slow, but I sped through book two and three. I took break in between some of the books, and started to notice that I was growing with the books. I am now a senior in high school, and

reading Liz’s graduation speech really resonated with me. I felt as if I was there all along with them, a part of the adventures and missions. It was bitter sweet to finally part with this series. It’s cheesy, yet full of action and adventure. But, it really does show that a girl can do anything she sets her mind to.
