The Decoy by Chloe Archambault tells the story of Nina who was orphaned then groomed at age 11 to become a Russian operative. What a great read! I read this in a day! The story kept a good pace but didn't have you dashing from place to place. I felt all of Nina's emotions and fought along side of her and Theo. I loved Ibrahim!! What great character! There was no closure with Markus and Jacques. Nina did meet up with Stacey but not them. I was disappointed in that. I'm still not sure about the title. I understand why it's The Decoy but I'm thinking it could be more descriptive..The Orphan Spy?? I will recommend this book! Thank you for letting me review!

This book really meets the brief of “thriller” and every page is an important part of the whole - the writer does not waste pages on unnecessary filler. Really engaging characters support a high action plot which is incredible in the best possible way.
