Description
A debut novella from Steve White.
Kendra is a soft spoken girl at school, and many of her friends would describe her as independent and shy. But beneath the surface she is a fierce warrior: Kendra is in fact a teen spy. Her "parents" are handlers for the National Security Agency, and she is sent on missions around the country. Her newest mission: a new homegrown terrorist organization has sprung up in the US, and she must tear the organization down. She will come up against more danger than she has ever faced before - will she save her country? Or will she die trying?
Advance Praise
I really liked this book. It was fast paced and quite the page turner. The main character Kendra was amazing. It doesn't get cooler than a teenage girl spy. I am glad it is a series because I can't wait to find out what happens next.
I don't normally read a lot of YA fiction, but that didn't stop 'Homegrown Terror' from being an engaging story for me. Kendra was a deep, multifaceted character. I honestly found her to be a very believable teen spy, because she does such a great job of maintaining dual personalities and lifestyles. She goes from quiet and shy to skilled and fearless in a seamless way. Still, she is a young person with her life ahead of her, so her musings of what it would be like to be normal do come out in the story. I thought the story had plenty of action and held my attention throughout. With the best spy stories, there is always more going on than first meets the eye, and in that respect 'Homegrown Terror' doesn't disappoint. I can definitely see how this will make a strong and engaging series if the author continues on like this.
This author has this way of writing that leaves you begging for more and you find yourself reading the entire story. It’s undoubtedly, amazingly written and has whole lot of action in it, having plenty of twists and turns to keep your interest level high. I’m really looking forward to the next sequel of the book.
Great book! Loved the idea of having a teenage spy! This book was definitely action-packed and there was never a dull moment. The only thing I wish there was more of was exploring the relationships Kendra has with her "parents" and friends" Luckily this is just the first book in the series so hopefully there'll be more of that in the next book!
