Rating: OBSESSED

I LOVE Ally Carter books so much, and the Blonde Who Came in From the Cold  continues that theme! So far I’m three-for-three and need to read more of them.

Alex Sterling is a total bad-a** CIA agent, genius, and feisty as all get out. She joined at the same time as Michael Sterling, another genius agent, and the banter starts immediately. Major rivals, they throw digs at each other all day long but work perfectly together. And try to deny their attraction and feelings…

The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold was a wild adventure through multiple timelines, events, and bada**ery that got them to where they are. And where they are is waking up handcuffed and tied together in the dark with no memory of how they got there. It’s game on as they try to figure out who’s after them, who they can trust, and maybe their feelings too…

I am NOT usually one for multiple timelines but WOW, The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold did it perfectly and I was loving every minute of it! The book was the perfect combination of fast-paced action, thriller, love, relationships, mystery, banter, and fun characters that I was hooked from start to finish. And I was sooooo invested in Alex and Michael.

Thank you to @Avonbooks and @HarperVoyagerUS for my advance copy. All thoughts and opinions are mine.
