Welcome to Litsy!

I like Ally Carter, her books tend to be quick easy reads with smart, witty female leads. When Maddie and Logan were kids an attempt on the president (Logan‘s dad) cost him his mother and Maddie and her father (the secret service agent guarding them) left for Alaska not long after and Maddie and Logan fell out of touch. Years later they‘re in each other‘s orbits again after Logan got in trouble one too many times and is sent to Alaska.

Fun young adult action story. The president's son and the daughter of the head of his secret service detail are childhood friends. After being separated for years, they meet again. When the first son is kidnapped in the Alaskan wilderness, Ally attempts to rescue him. A fun read!

I really loved and enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

Let me start by saying I love Ally Carter & think she is an amazing author. That being said, this book felt like it dragged on & on! I am not sure what would have made it better for me, but I felt like there were things added in that didn‘t need to be. I loved the premise of the book & it held my interest, but it was long! I guess if my only complaint is that it was long, I would say I would recommend it & tell you to give it a chance.

A couple of high-profile teenagers learn how to work as a team in the Alaskan wilderness to outwit Russian assassins. True friendship and teamwork and a great dose of humor.

This is the first book by Ally Carter I‘ve read, and it was definitely a fun #YA read! Teenagers trained by White House Secret Service men end up fighting for their lives against angry Russians while surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. There‘s some violence and a a dash of romance but nothing to keep me from recommending it to younger YA readers.

Needed a fun read and thought this AK-based Book was perfect for a snowy weekend. I love Ally Carter!

So good!! Super visual and amazing details! A definite recommendation

This was an enjoyable and quick read! Not very character driven or developed, but the plot (about a girl having to save the president's son in the middle of nowhere Alaska) was gripping.

I picked up this book as a distraction while working through a very dramatic and frustrating series, and was happily surprised. It was silly and over the top and lighthearted, but also sweet and heartwarming and action packed and well-written. This isn‘t usually the type of book that I love, but it totally pulled me in and was exactly what I needed. This was one of my first experiences listening to an audiobook, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I loved this YA novel! I am a little biased, considering I love books about running away from the government, but who doesn't love reading about a girl with a bedazzled hatchet falling for the president's son while running from a madman Russian in the middle of a storm in Alaska! Gave me all the feels!

Not your typical YA. Some suspense and lots of adventure!

Good for a middle school to young adult book. Definitely juvenile.

New audio!! So far so good!!

I am willing to suspend a lot of belief when reading YA. But this was a little too far... I mean, a heroine with a bedazzled hatchet?? 🙄 #jesshowreads2018

Love the acknowledgement! #librarians #librarylove

Great action-adventure story with a touch of romance set in Alaska

#notifisaveyoufirst #allycarter

Another fast read with a bit of suspense. Great stand alone if you're an Ally Carter fan.

@BookFreakOut Ah!!! I love my book sleeve!!! I do not have a single one and I‘ve been wanting one for months so this is perfect! I love the fabric 😊

True story: A patron recently recommended this book to me and unlike most patron recs, I actually wrote this one down. It was on my TBR and you somehow sensed it 😂

I‘m so excited about my gifts. I‘m home sick today so this was a great pick-me-up. Thank you so, so much!!! #makerswap

All Carter‘s stand-alone YA survival thriller has a cute idea but is sadly a limp and predictable affair with a central romance that never catches light, cardboard cut-out antagonists, a plot that‘s full of holes, and some eye-rolling moments that combined to make me relieved to get to the end.

This was cute, but it felt very rushed. There was the typical Ally Carter wit that I love, and I highly enjoyed the Blackthorn reference, but overall it was rather unbelievable and kinda eh. Not a bad read, but if your TBR piles are as large as mine, I would pass.

Ally Carter is one of my favorite teen authors!! So of course I had to read her new book which is amazing just like all the rest. Pick it up...

#myweekinbitmojis ready for the weekend!

Today‘s work listen was the always fun in audiobooks Ally Carter. Idk about the politics or the plausibility in this one. But it made the day go fast.

One of my favorite scenes from this book ^^ Ally Carter has been a favorite author of mine ever since I read her Ghallager Girls series when I was younger (they always get me out of reading slumps lol).

Also, since I'm still pretty new to Listy, how often do you all post? I'm curious to know lol

Finally finished my first #Readathon book. Loved this one! So fun. And I loved Maddie! Great addition to Ally Carter‘s awesome female protagonists!

Looking forward to reading this one!

I have been a fan of Ally Carter since she first said “I‘d Tell You I Love You But Then I Would Have To Kill You”. She has gone back to that fun romp of girls kick butt heroism in her new novel.

Yes, this book has its girly moments but The girl is the hero and the boy is the backwoods, doesn‘t know what he‘s doing. It‘s a fun short read that is relatively clean for the both the t‘ween and teen audiences.

Full review on Goodreads.

I started this one tonight and suddenly I‘m about 70 pages in. Yes! Fast-paced and action-packed. I can‘t wait to see where it‘s headed.

13th book of 2018. I think I‘m tied with last years book total. 🙈 #iread #readmore #paperback #scholastic #bookworm #bookdragon #lovebooks #booklove

I think this is my TBR for the month. But it may change. My cousin had my copy of Nevernight, and normally I have no problems with him borrowing books but this one came back with ink spots and smelling of smoke. I'm a bit annoyed with him. If I can not air the book out this month it won't get read. #readingresolutions #aprilTBR

Really enjoyed this fast-paced YA book and loved the heroine!

So very true.

Stick to boy ratio. May be my new fav ally carter line.

Read this beauty today. I really liked the setting and the main characters, but I was a bit disappointed in the conflict resolution tbh. The main problem between the two main characters did not come close to getting fixed imo. But, it was a fun read, and the MC was sassy, so cool cool.

What I purchased at today's trip to BN. The book turned backwards is going to @wanderinglynn Josh chose the winner. He said he hates Christmas lights and you having them on your desk staring at you makes him shutter. Said you deserved a book for that. So email me at missryanaf@gmail.com with a shipping address.

Hints: it's a book I already own but haven't read yet. 😉🤓

Ally Carter is an automatic buy for me. I love her books so much. She manages to make kick ass heroines but still throw in a good romantic plot line but it‘s never the main focus. I wish I could just sit down and read this but I have ARCs and library books to get through first 😭 Oh yeah and work. And podcast editing. And photo editing. This week though 😭

I love Ally Carter's books. Originally I made eyebrows when this came in as middle grade, but I could see that. Her other books, while the characters are usually 15+ are clean of language and sexual activity. I really like her books and am looking forward to is one.
