This book basically was a "I'm not like other girls" flag stamped on every page, it was kind of funny though 🤷🏼♀️

The Squad: Killer Spirit by, Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️
TRIGGER WARNINGS-

death
High school sophomore student, Toby Klein is facing death in a few different ways. First she has been nominated for Homecoming Princess and her brother's taken it upon himself to endorse her campaign and now it's looking like she might win which is a disaster and could very well end in death for her at the hands of her senior, cheerleading/super secret CIA agent captain-Brooke. Second, with the new mission that they've been given Toby has cheated death at least twice while tailing some suspects.
As usual I did enjoy this book as I love her writing and how she writes her characters. I was a little off put with Noah's character though, IDK he just kind of annoyed me. This one was better then the first as there was an actual mystery and more of a plot. I do wish we could have seen more of the squads characters.

Solid read, had fun and that’s what’s important. Wish there was a book 3 though, competition season would’ve ate. The twist wasn’t super memorable but I didn’t see it coming.

So, I just realized that Jennifer Lynn Barnes has a book called Killer Instinct AND this one, Killer Spirit. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like this book contributed anything meaningful. It was more of the same, and Toby's "Woe is me, I hate my life" attitude gets old after a while. Nothing really happened on the Jack front, and a lot of the big plot points (e.g. Alan? Using Jack?) went unsolved. This is all probably coming in hindsight, as I know this series did not continue on. It was probably meant to get picked up as a looong series with many missions (think: Baby Sitters Club or Madison Finn, some of the really long series of the time). I can see why it wasn't, and I'm also really glad that YA has moved past that trend.
