review 1: Number 1 is that I hate that I had to buy the first book again as I originally got that one for 99 cents and now I had to pay 11 bucks. However, that's irrelevant to how I feel about the books so ignore that as my own personal gripe. Anyway, I really enjoyed the first book when I read it the first time around. It was a fun story and easy to read. The second time around the holes really showed through. The story is pretty preposterous and the characters are poorly written. Will is boring and annoying. I want him to find out and freak and just go away. I want Theo to be less of a brat. I want so much more for Sally. I want her to be a better spy, be more interested in her past, be a better mom, and I want her to hook up with Blackford. I'm not convinced on his badguyness. I ... morejust don't believe that at all. I got frequently bored in the second book and more and more annoyed by Sally and her family but I still have hope for a better third book.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. Spy Mom is actually two novels, Original Sin and its sequel To Sin Again. I'd borrowed the first book from a friend, so I was happy to see that the sequel was being combined with Original Sin (that way I could own a copy myself). Spy adventure meets a tale of domestic mommyhood, but somehow this series manages to combine suspense and humor very smoothly. I would definitely recommend it to fans of imperfect but still butt-kicking heroines and folks who enjoy light spy humor, à la TV's Burn Notice (I mean that in a good way; I really do). And for those curious, yes the sequel measures up to the original. I sincerely look forward to future works by this author, and I hope another Sally Sin story is in the making! less
