No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial.

Returning to school after having to give up her civilian boyfriend, Josh, Cammie is hoping to be fully distracted by her spy skills training to think of him – or that he is just outside the highly secure walls of the Gallagher Academy.
Alas, her troubles with the male gender have not ended it seems.
For a long time, there has been supposition that there must be a boy-version of the Gallagher Academy out there somewhere…
Then the code name Blackthorne starts being thrown around – during some innocent eavesdropping on her mother the headmistress, ahem – and a wing of the Academy is being prepped for guests – determined after some just-as-innocent reconnaissance.
Blamed for security breaches that – this time – she did not cause, Cammie finds herself in a position where she needs to clear her name.
Well, she and her fellow spies-in-training best friends are more than up that challenge.
But mix in too many Y chromosomes and will Cammie’s skills still be victorious?
Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy really won me over on the Gallagher Girls series.
Primarily because Ally Carter truly begins to flesh out this slightly realistic/slightly ridiculous world with more proof of it’s fun, eccentric, creative plot.
Venturing out of the Gallagher Academy a little more provides more opportunities to see this spy world beyond the training grounds and was really quite entertaining!
Then mixing in more romance, action and humor – it was another easy read!
And, in my opinion, even better than the first!
I will be continuing on to book three!!!
