Cammie Morgan may have a genius IQ and attend the best school in the country, but as she starts the spring semester of her sophomore year there are a lot of things she doesn't know. Like will her ex-boyfriend even remember she exists? And how much trouble did she really get in last semester? And, most of all, exactly why is her mother acting so strangely?

All Cammie wants is a nice, normal semester, but she's about to learn her greatest lesson yet—that when you go to a school for spies, nothing is ever as it seems.

This is the second book in the Gallagher Girls series, and I've got to start by saying I totally LOVED it! The first book was great, but this sequel was totally epic.  

There is a lot more action, humour, and drama going on for the academy girls this year as they face a challenge that they're not so experienced at - boys.

In this book, Cammie and her friends are starting a new semester, and a new semester brings new mysteries under the code name Blackthorne. When the girls find out what Blackthorne really is, everything changes.

Blackthorn is an academy just like theirs, one that trains teenagers in the art of professional spying. However, the major difference is that Blackthorn is an academy for boys, as the girls of Gallagher are about to find out. 

With Blackthorn come the introduction of a character I completely fell in love with, Zack. He amde a wonderful addition to this series, and added some well needed tension between himself and Cammie. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for the two of them, because I'm certain there's more to follow. 

This is such a fun and exciting read, and I'm so glad I discovered this series. It's fast becoming on of my favourites!
