Reviews

'Pacey, compelling and mind-bending in all the right ways as the deceitful truth gets unravelled. It's an excellent showcase for the new KelpiesTeen list.' -- Keith Gray, The Scotsman 'Deceit, intrigue and mind-reading make up the basis of the plot for this exciting and fast paced novel... This book is a real roller coaster ride of emotions and plot twists.' -- The School Librarian 'Don builds a slow but tightly constructed bond between Bain and Lucy, anchoring the action-packed plot with their relationship, detailed between alternating perspectives... Ultimately, it's the tug-of-war relationship between Bain and Lucy that elevates this thrill ride. Come for the mind-reading spies; stay for the unlikely duo that's unable to trust each other.' -- Kirkus Reviews
