Sinopsis
Kupandangi kamu dengan wajah memelas. Berharap kamu mau menyingkap apa yang sedang kita alami sekarang. Kamu tetap pada pendirianmu, bungkam. Pura-pura tak ada hal besar yang baru saja terjadi.

Bagaimana mungkin semua baik-baik saja? Di hari pertunangan kita, segerombolan orang menyerbu rumah. Tembakkan diletuskan. Peluru. Jeritan orang-orang. Dan, kamu membawaku kabur masih dengan kebaya impian yang kini terasa menyiksa dipakai di saat yang tak sepantasnya.

Hari yang seharusnya bahagia, menjelma tegang dan penuh tanya. Kenapa kita harus lari? Belum cukupkah aku mengenalmu sejauh ini?
Aku tak siap menyambut kenyataan. Tak siap jika harus kehilangan. Tak kuat menahan rasa takut yang berkepanjangan.

Buku ini bercerita tentang Kara Arkana yang akan melangsungkan pertunangannya dengan sang pacar yang sudah dipacarinya selama setahun, Zeno Ramawijaya. Kara sendiri merupakan pemilik sebuah toko bernama Glad To Gift you, toko yang menawarkan jasa pembuatan kado untuk orang tersayang. Sedangkan Zeno merupakan arsitek yang bekerja di salah satu perusahaan milik pamannya.

Acara pertunangan berlangsung lancar hingga pada jam makan siang, saat kedua keluarga sedang beramah tamah, terdengar ledakan senjata di lantai bawah. Suasana panik dan begitu banyak teriakan. Tak terkecuali Kara yang sedang bersama Zeno di lantai atas. Zeno kemudian berpikir cepat dengan membawa Kara kabur bersamanya. Kara mulai dihinggapi rasa ketakutan akan kehilangan sang mama dan mulai bertanya tanya siapa Zeno sebenarnya. Di perjalanan mereka untuk kabur dan menghindari lawan, satu demi satu rahasia yang disimpan Zeno mulai terkuak. Mau tidak mau, Kara harus menerimanya dengan kepala tegak dan hati yang tegar.

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?
