In reply to 'Anonymous' who gave this book one star.
First off, I couldn't reply to you directly so you probably won't see this, but I'm hoping to clear up your misconceptions for future readers. The 'Spy Goddess' series is a completely original series by Michael P. Spradlin, not a knock-off series of Ally Carter's 'Gallagher Girls' series (I'm a fan of her series as well). Spradlin's first 'Spy Goddess' book (Live and Let Shop) was copyrighted 2005, while Carter's first installation in her "Gallagher Girls' series was copyrighted 2006. Also, Carter didn't even mention the school 'Blackthorne' until 'Cross my Heart and Hope to Spy' in 2007 (note that Carter spells Blackthorne with an 'e' while Spradlin does not).In addition, Spradlin's series is very different from Carter's, yes, they both feature a teenage spy at a spy school as the main character, but Spradlin and Carter's plot lines veer off after this point.
I'm not trying to imply that Ally Carter stole the idea from Michael Spradlin, they are both great writers and you should check out both of their works (try Spradlin's first, since this is the page of one of his books). By the way Anonymous, some writers borrow ideas from other authors because of the book's popularity (the whole vampire/werewolf rage for instance *ugh*), or because it's difficult to come up with completely original stories (I'm not insinuating that Spradlin or Carter did so).
With that, I would really recommend the 'Spy Goddess' series (where were you Spradlin?! I was waiting for your next book or manga to be released for years! You better make it up to me by having Raych and Brent get together! I haven't read the third book yet, but I'm ordering it now!).

Do not read. This book is a fake knock off lik book of ally carters series gallagher girls. Allys book is much better. I wouldnt give this book even one star. All of allys ideas r in this book n it is upsetin tht some author could take her ideas. Ally even named one of the skools in her book blackthrone. U should really read allys series instead! I could not put it down!
