Killer Spirit continues right where Perfect Cover left off. Only now, there are higher stakes for the mission and more consequences for Toby, especially if she wins Homecoming Queen. Top that off with boy troubles and you're in for one heck of a ride.
I also liked how Jennifer Lynn Barnes kept the story unique. It may be that I have only read a handful of spy books, but I felt that The Squad series was special, which most likely had to do with the cheerleading part as previously stated. I felt that the missions that Toby and the Squad had to go on were fresh and not at all repetitive, and that is saying something for the girl (me) who can usually guess what happens next in spy books. I was totally surprised by the ending in Killer Spirit. Although the action never got dangerous to the point of multiple gunshots and catfights, the plot was exciting the whole way through.
I highly recommend this book for all fans of spy books, especially lover of the Gallagher Girl series by Ally Carter and the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz.
