"Once Upon a Dime" by Perry Elisabeth Kirkpatrick

About this book:

  “It's all coming to a head... or tails.
    Emily Abbott is accidentally in danger. Targeted by the 10,000, a mysterious group of rogue spies, she’s been relocated to a safe-house, placed under the protection of an ICS agent, and given a new, temporary job in a political campaign’s call-center.
    But when Brent calls her in a panic to say a bomb threat has been made against the campaign, she can’t help but become involved. As the threats ramp up, stolen RFID tech disguised as a pair of dimes shows up in Phoenix.
    Is it a coincidence? Emily doesn’t think so.
   What are the 10,000 planning? Only time will tell, and once the dimes are used, time is something Emily and Brent don’t have.”

My personal Rating- 

This series is so much fun! Emily is shaping up to be more than just an accidental spy in this book and I found myself giggling at different parts. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing with the rest of the series!
