Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter

This series is fantastic. I mean really there isn't any other way to explain it.
This installment has our favorite Gallagher Girl starting the book waking up in an Austrian convent with no memory of the last 4 months of her life. She has lot weight, drastically changed her hair, covered in wounds, and doesn't remember a damn thing to caused any of it.
Thus we spend the book alongside Cammie, Bex, Macey, Liz, Zack, her mom and her aunt, and of course the gorgeous MI6 agent Townsend retracing her steps in a desperate attempt to regain her memory while keeping her protected from the Circle which is continuously trying to kill her.
The book jumps from the Gallagher school to Austria, to Rome, to Ireland, and back again as Cammie tries to access her memories and retrace her father's step in his final mission - to bring down the circle. But all the while she is constantly doubting herself because she suddenly has new abilities she doesn't remember learning, went on missions she doesn't remember going on, and finding clues that she doesn't understand.
This book was super emotional for this series (considering it is Disney published and usually pretty light on the heavy stuff) and it only made it that much better! I loved experiencing all of Cammie's insecurities, fears, and sadness. She grew up so much in this book and we got to see it all from the first person perspective. Of course this also means the secondary characters weren't explored as much so we didn't see quite as much growth with them, but it was still there.
I had thought book #5 was the conclusion to the series, but now I know there is a 6th one coming out next year which is still untitled. Seeing how the plot is progressing it might be the last or maybe there will be a #7. Either way I will definitely be reading them all and probably rereading the entire series again at some point!
What can I say...I wish I was a Gallagher Girl!
