A satisfying sequel! Olivia Decoded continues well after the events of Olivia Twisted. However, enough time had passed between the first book and the second that I found myself struggling to remember key characters and plot points. I would have liked a little more refreshers.

I didn't like this book at all and really didn't understand it. A DNF for me.

This novel is easily read as a stand-alone piece, I know this because I haven't read the first book in the series.
This book pulls you in from the first page, the characters are likeable and believable and make you feel as though you are part of the team.
The thing I liked about this book the most is that they don't keep introducing new characters, they are constantly pulling from the cast they have, and that gives so much more to the novel than creating new people.
A great read.

A little slow paced for my taste and a bit on the predictable side, but I did enjoy the overall story.

Oliver Twist is twisted into a new story featuring hackers. Olivia is tired of life as a foster kid. When her new foster dad starts to make her life difficult, Olivia becomes drawn to Z, a mysterious kid who is also a hacker, and who is recruiting her to work with his band of young misfits who work together breaking into bank accounts. As Olivia and Z grow closer, the truth about their next target and his connection to Olivia will change everything.

olivia decoded is the sequel to olivia twisted. and if you plan to read twisted – you should probably just go ahead and pick up decoded as well because you will want to read it immediately.

all of the excitement and tension from book 1 carries right into book 2.

olivia decoded is one of the best follow-ups i’ve read in a long time. the length was perfect, there isn’t an unnecessary retelling of details from the first book, and the characters and their story lines progress exactly like i was seeing in my head!

if you’re looking for a good young adult novel that has all the right ingredients – the olivia books are just that. love, action, tension, heartbreak – they’re all there.

5/5 stars for vivi barnes and olivia decoded!
