"Bad Things, Small Packages" by Perry Elisabeth Kirkpatrick

About this book:

  “Head colds are bad... but the contents of the memory card are worse.
   Emily has planned a quiet, restful evening at home, hoping to ward off the sniffles that might make her miss work. But the microSD card Brent stashed on her car is making more trouble than either of them expected. Getting it out of Phoenix and to the decryption genius before it self-destructs is going to take both of them.
   But someone is after them and the card, and Emily discovers an eerie connection to her first accidental mission. To make matters worse, ICS is in danger and someone's looking for Emily.
   It's going to be a long night.”

My personal Rating- 

What’s been fun about this series, while it can be a bit cheesy at times, if you became an accidental spy and got roped into different secret missions, I know at least I would be very curious to know if being a spy in real life is like being a spy in a movie. With all the gadgets and technology, all the things like that. So I think Emily is very realistic in that way. :)

 

Not too much happens in this book, but I do really like how this series connects straight away from the prior book and leads into the next book. No breaks or major gaps in time. I think I may actually start the next book right away because I'm curious about the next mission.

 

 

See y’all on Friday with a new review!
