This is the third book in the Spy Goddess series by Michael P. Spradlin.

Basic premise: Rachel is from Beverley Hills and has a bit of an attitude problem. So she was sent to this special school which is part prep school part spy school. Her and her schoolmates are trying to foil supervillain Simon Blankenship as he tries to find some mystical artifacts in his bid to rule the world. It is their job to stop him. The kids are introduced to a new face while also struggling with the fact there is a mole in their midsts.

All I can say is OMG, you can’t end a series like that!! This series has so much promise. I mean along the lines of Rick Riordan promise. The three books in this series barely brush the surface of all it has to offer. There hasn’t been a new book since 2011 and I have to wonder why. This story has all the makings of a great middle grade blockbuster like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. Rachel has yet to fully understand what these goddess powers are she possesses and that alone is a thread that could last for four more books at least.

I want to call up the author and say “Please write more of this!” It can’t end this way. This is like the biggest cliffhanger in history. Nothing is really settled. The supervillain is still out there foiling all their attempts to catch him and I am sitting here puzzled as to why there are no more books in this series!

This human with goddess powers is so marketable right now. I mean look at how well all of Riordan’s series have sold. This should be a no brainer! Please, Spradlin, revisit this series and give me five more books!

If you love a good middle grade, goddess, prep school spy story, definitely check this one out. You won’t be disappointed.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
