Hiding Lies by Julie Cross
5.0
This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
In this second installment of the Eleanor Ames YA spy thriller series, Ellie is trying to make up for her con artist past and her mistakes in the first book, especially putting the wrong person in prison (well, sort of) and hiding things from her boyfriend (though he hid more than a few things himself). Of course, it's not that simple.
Ellie ends up embroiled in another FBI investigation, and this time she's determined to get it right. I'll confess that I felt like the first half of the book was a teensy bit slow---or, actually, lots of things were happening, but I just wasn't emotionally invested in the plot. At about 65% a major wrench is thrown into everything, and that's where I started to get really excited. The rest of the book flew by, and I was eager to see where it all ended up! I give the book 3.5 stars (taking off a half star for that slow start---but if you're a fan of YA thrillers, definitely check this series out!).
