Sinopsis
Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.
After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.
All Katy can do is survive.
Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?
Together, they can face anything. 
But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? 
And will they even be together?


Di akhir Opal, Daedalus berhasil mendapatkan Katy. Katy & Daemon terjebak dalam permainan Blake, dimana Blake menawarkan untuk membantu mengeluarkan Beth dari Daedalus dengan alasan bahwa dia membutuhkan bantuan untuk mengeluarkan temannya, Chris. Selama ini, Blake bekerjasama dengan Daedalus untuk menangkap Katy untuk diuji coba sebagai hybrid.

 Buku ini diawali dengan kemarahan Daemon karena Daedalus berhasil menangkap Katy. Dan itu berarti bahwa Katy saat ini berada dalam bahaya.  Setelah Katy tertangkap, Dawson berinisiatif untuk mengirimkan Daemon ke Komunitas untuk tidak kembali ke Daedalus untuk menyelamatkan Katy ( Setidaknya tidak untuk saat ini). Namun, Daemon berhasil keluar dan kabur dan mengancam Dawson untuk tidak mencegahnya kembali ke Daedalus untuk menyelamatkan Katy. Begitu juga pun dengan Dee yang mencoba membujuk Daemon untuk menunda rencananya ke Daedalus.

United We Spy (#Gallagher Girls 6) by Ally Carter



Judul : United We Spy
Penulis : Ally Carter
Penerbit : Disney-Hiperion

Ratings : 5/5

Cammie Morgan has lost her father and her memory, but in the heart-pounding conclusion to the best-selling Gallagher Girls series, she finds her greatest mission yet. Cammie and her friends finally know why the terrorist organization called the Circle of Cavan has been hunting her. Now the spy girls and Zach must track down the Circle’s elite members to stop them before they implement a master plan that will change Cammie—and her country—forever.
The Circle is closing again, and as the group runs against the time to try and stop Catherine Goode from killing off all the Inner Circle members, a bigger and darker truth starts to be uncovered. Who do you trust  when the Circle is everywhere? And most importantly, who do you save, and who do you hunt the Circle members, who are trying their hardest to instigate WW3, or Catherine who is on a psychopathic mission of cold, calculated deaths of Circle members.

Cammie, Bex, Liz, Zach and Macey in this book came together they were taking control of things, they weren’t sitting there waiting listening to what the adults were saying. They were kicking butt and taking everybody down. There was so much action and romance in this book. It has twists and turns and I just loved every single page of it. How could I not? This book was so fast paced. I loved it when we needed all this action to do with the circle and everything, yet we still had the moments of calmness and friendship.

I love Ally Carter and awesome her books are! Ally Carter is one of my all time favourite authors. She has a perfect way of writing action that doesn’t leave the reader wondering which character just got shot, ot shot someone. While I didn’t think the action was as fast and unexpected as the other book, United We spy’s climax was something I was never expecting. I enjoyed all the relationship dynamics in this book. There wasn’t much angst, which was a nice break from other book I read. Ally knew that the time for tension was over, and thank God for that. All the characters had developed a lot from the beginning of the series. They are beliavabIe and friendly and open, yet-suprisingly adult and mature and secretive. And i lovee the ending. It was a bittersweet ending, Lizzie made me cry :”)

United We Spy ended with me in tears.

This was the most heartfelt, sincere, coming of age section I have ever seen!!

Thanks, Ally Carter. You make a great book and series.

Who comes here?
