Spy Goddess Rocks

This is one of the best books I've read in a while. I read the first one and then got this one and it's even better. Rachel Buchanan and her friends at Blackthorn Academy have to fight against Simon Blankenship. He thinks he can cummon up the powers of Mithras a Roman god of the afterlife if he can steal all the stuff he needs to do it. Rachel kept him from getting one of the things he needed in the first book, and this time she and her friends have to sneak out of Blackthorn and get to Hawaii before Simon can get his hands on antoher artifact. The book just races from chapter to chapter. I love Rachel. She's funny and always making Blankenship angry with her jokes and combacks. I highly recommend this book!

I love the Spy Goddess

I have read both the Spy Goddess books now and can't wait for more! This author spoke at a festival in Kansas I went to, and I read the books because he made them sound so interesting. They are funny and exciting! I love the charactre of Rachel Buchanan. She's smart and I love how she makes fun of Simon Blankenship who is the bad guy in the book. She always has a good comeback for any situation. This book is full of excitement and lots of action. I definitely recommend it.

This was a great book!

I couldn't wait for this book to come out after I read the first one. This one is even better. This time Rachel Buchanan gets involved in an even bigger mystery and it takes her and her friends to Hawaii on the trial of one of the missing artifacts that Simon Blankenship is after. Once she's there, she gets captured by Blankenship again and has to escape and not only does she escape but she keeps him from getting the artifact. Rachel is a great character. She's funny and smart and always has a really funny wisecrack when Blankenship or one of her friends starts to annoy her. It's non stop excitement and adventure and I really couldn't read it fast enough. I can't wait for the next one!

Stellar!

Rachel Buchanan is definitely a Beverly Hills girl. But when she fights the law, and loses, even her wealthy father cannot look the other way. That is how she ended up at the Blackthorn Academy, a boarding school in Pennsylvania. What her father did not know, and still does not know, is that the academy sits on top of a sophisticated crime lab and Rachel is training to be a spy. Whether Rachel likes it or not, there is a really evil man named Simon Blankenship, who believes himself to be "Mithras". Simon is after seven treasures that were hidden by Centurions during the Roman era. Simon also believes that Rachel is the reincarnation of the Goddess of Light, Etherea, and he will not rest until she is dead. Rachel is being trained by the school's headmaster, Jonathon Kim. Her group of friends include Pilar, who has psychic feelings, Alex, Pilar's boyfriend who is too macho for words, and Brent, a shy and mysterious super genius. This time Mr. Kim and Mr. Quinn go to Hawaii, in search of one of the seven treasures. Problem is they are looking in the wrong place. So Rachel and her friends sneak out of the academy and head for Hawaii. Simon, and his dedicated, fanatical group of followers, are waiting for her. Sometimes being a goddess totally reeks! ***** Non-stop action, much like the animated series "Totally Spies". It does not matter if you are male or female, you are going to LOVE these spy novels! I hope they someday get picked up for a television series. STELLAR! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
