Investigating the Hottie Juli Alexander Books

When I found out that Juli Alexander had written another book AND it was free on my kindle yesterday, I was psyched. I have read some of her other books, (Stirring Up Trouble, My life as the ugly stepsister, and the Karma beat.)and let me say this, they were all pretty awesome. Be forewarned, these are books that are targeted for pre to early teens. Although I'm a sophmore in High school and I still think they're pretty awesome. These books are great for a light read, but I'm digressing AGAIN. I seem to be doing that an awful lot recently. So here's my breakdown of the book.
THE PREMISE
Amanda's aunt is a secret agent and she recruits Amanda to help her bust a teenage hacker. Her aunt is also working a case with her partner who she supposedly hates.
THE PROS
1. The humor. I love how Christie and Nic were always arguing. They had a great love/hate relationship.
2. Amanda's character. I love how she was always trying to figure everything out from her aunt and Nic to the case to how she felt about Will.
3. Spies. Really who doesn't love spies. I'm beng serious, who doesn't like spies? I'd like to know why.
4. The lack of art talent. Non-Artists must band together.
5. The ending. I love sweet endings.
THE CONS
1. Kind of an obvious ending, but hey it was sweet.
OVERALL
There was an ending that could be open to a sequel, but it all depends on whether the author choses to take that route. I would definitly read the sequel. So in all it was a light quick read with a fun adventure and a sweet romance for younger readers. Definitly not a let down from her other books.
WOULD I READ THIS BOOK: YES
WOULD I BUY THIS BOOK: YES (Even though I got it when it was free, it would have been worth my money!)
WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK: YES, TO YOUNGER READERS
WOULD I READ THE NEXT BOOK: YEP
WOULD I READ OTHER BOOKS BY THIS AUTHOR: YEAH, SHE'S GREAT.
AM I HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK: I LIKED IT AND IT WAS A REALLY GOOD BOOK
Fav quote: ""Are you saying that I need bigger boobs if I'm going to be a spy?" Her eyes widened in horror. "No. Not at all. We just need extra room for the tracking devices, unless you want them implanted in your skin. It's up to you."" HAHA, That part made me laugh!!

Investigating the Hottie Juli Alexander Books Reviews

I read a ton of Young Adult fiction so while I may not be the intended audience, I do feel qualified to review it. My main problem with the book is the writing style. It's very immature and undeveloped. I don't know if the author was trying too hard to write for a younger teen group or what but it's very difficult to read. I felt it was an amateurish attempt. Effective teen authors don't dumb down their books - they write complicated, well-written stories that teens (and adults) can enjoy. This book just fell short for me.
Disclaimer I received the book in exchange for my honest review.
(This review is also posted on Goodreads.) Amanda is spending a week with her Aunt Christie to get her mind off of her parents' divorce. Which is exactly what happens when she finds out that Christie is not exactly the dear old aunt she knew but a spy for the Global Agency for Shared Intelligence. GASI is an agency that coordinates efforts "to fight biological and technological terrorism and espionage". When GASI started recruiting younger agents, Amanda unknowingly participated in the initial stage of training by attending Technology Camp, extreme endurance camp, foreign language pograms and other grants that she received. The next stage of training is to immerse Amanda in a small mission with low danger level. Her mission is to investigate a Princeton Academy student's possible involvement in computer hacking and terrorism. Should Amanda accept, she will be part of GASI. But how can Amanda refuse a mission that involves the school hottie, Will Middleton?

I liked the light and easy treatment to the story. I can imagine the excitement for Amanda-- being a real spy and having a great excuse to be near the hottest guy in the campus. The best part for me though is the subplot -- Christie and her partner Nic Maxwell's love-hate-strictly business relationship. Stealing some limelight too is Will Middleton's groovy grandma. Hilarious! Well this book was fun, fast-paced and completely engaging. I don't mind reading more of the young agents, if there's ever a plan for a series.
Oh man, this book was such a fun and light read... it was just fantastic!

So we start off with our main character Amanda going to visit her quirky Aunt Christie. What Amanda doesn't expect upon arrival, though, is that the aunt she's known all her life is actually a spy! What?! Even crazier her aunt has recruited her to help with their current investigation in finding out what Bad, Bad Thing a hacker has planned. Oh, and not to mention that said hacker is a super gorgeous teenager!

I have so much love for this book! There were so many elements that I loved about the book it was super funny, had really cool gadgets, and, hello, a totally hot and swoon-worthy guy!! Will was just very charming and so nice! Total hottie ;) Amanda's Aunt Christie and her partner Nic were so hilarious! I really loved them and that undeniable chemistry between them. Christie just seemed very carefree and fun while Nidc was all protective of Amanda as if he was actually Christie's boyfriend and Amanda's protective uncle... it's very darling, really ) And Amanda herself, well, she was awesome! So funny and just plain fun to read about.

I really loved the voice of the book, too. It was very well written and that plot twist at the end... whoa! Did not see that coming!

I am officially a fan of Juli Alexander!! I first read her Stirring Up Trouble series and fell completely in love with it, and now this one? Yes please! I need to read ALL of her books! Juli is definitely an author to look out for!
