Goodreads Summary:  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.

Cindy's Review: 
At First Glance/The Cover:
She's finally graduating! We've come to a conclusion of this teen spy's years. I've waited for the ending of the Gallagher series for years. Not that I was waiting for it to end. At the end of book 5, Out of Sight, Out of Time, we learn that it's time for Cammie to hunt down the Circle of Cavan. This is exactly what the 6th book is for, to clean off the bad guys.

I haven't done a book review in 3 months! Forreal. Since October. So sorry for my rusty review skills. Not that I was good to begin with anyways.

The Characters/My Opinons: 
Cammie - Of course, the chameleon, our main character. The one that graduates. The one that was sought after bad the Circle of Cavan. Now it's her turn to end their treacheries. 

In this finale, we follow Cammie to meet and stop the Circle of Cavan leaders. The two main villains are Preston's dad and Zach's mom. Not getting into details, but those two cause a whole lot of trouble in the final book. 
  
And yes, Zach is definitely there. Yay! The perks. But yannoe, Zach kind of got more serious. Certainly loss some of his playfulness. Kinda miss that. But we still get to read from Cammie's funny, teenager-ish attitude. I love that about her.

This ending was kind of the last of the killings. It wasn't exactly a hurried ending. But then Cammie, Liz, Macey, Bex, and Zach was definitely trying to finish their mission. And let's not forget Preston. Of course, even after everything, they have to face against the final challenge of Zach's mother. 

Final Thoughts:
This final conclusion was satisfactory. Even though Out of Sight, Out of Time basically told us what was going to happen, I really wanted Cammie to turn out to be someone special. Someone more special than just being a girl who has a list of names in her mind. Maybe royalty or something. I dunno.

The true ending of United We Spy is kind of what everyone predicted. Literally. I read numerous fanfics like this ending. You don't even know how similar the real is ending is to fans' ideal ending. Of course, without the marriage and the babies. 

But Ally Carter does leave us something to hang on to. That means she just might write a companion series. Ally introduced us a young, freshman Gallagher Girl. Her name is Amirah. And I think she's actually royalty or something, but she has a future. And plus, Cammie's in college. Who knows what can happen in colleges where she's not in a spy school. Accessibility to normal guys, durr. But she has Zach. :)   

I would like for the series to end as it is though. Although I kind of wouldn't mind an intro into Cammie's college life.

The Rating: (1-10): 9.5~
Oh. It ended. *cries. It's like my daughter is graduating and leaving me for college. I don't even know the feeling of having a daughter. What I just said didn't even make sense. But truly, I understand a parent's feeling of saying good-bye to their children, even though they can see (reread) them anytime. 

Happy Reading~

Juicy January Releases~

Happy New Year, guys!

A new year means new beginnings. :)

Gonna try to post more this year despite how busy school keeps me. Creating good habits.

Writing posts instead of watching a movie. 

Hmm. How at least one post per movie I watch. 

Haha. Let's start today. 

So here some January new releases! 

Enjoy! 

The Destiny of Violet & Luke (The Coincidence #3)

by Jessica Sorensen

Release Date: January 27th, 2014

Thoughts: If I'm not mistaken, Luke is from The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden. It's a really cute book. SO. Why not help promote. :D Jessica Sorensen books are pretty entertaining. I enjoy reading them. :) Although I'm not sure if I would read this one though. Maybe if I have time.

Tagline: Luke Price's life has always been about order, control, and acting tough on the outside.

See. I never really loved Luke in the first place, but feelings can always change. Maybe we get to see more Callie and Kayden in this novel. 

Vitro

by Jessica Khoury

Release Date: January 14th, 2014

Thoughts: OMG. ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS. LOVE JESSICA KHOURY'S BOOKS. I only read one though, but seriously I loved it so much. Origin was pretty much the best stand-alone I ever read. I'm glad Vitro is also a stand-alone because I absolutely love stand-alones. They make the best novel ever. <3  Hopefully, guys, look forward to a review. I'll try to commit a review.

Tagline: On Skin Island, even the laws of creation can be broken.

A legit tagline this time. :D Love it. Even though it's a bit broad and widely used. Hope Khoury can make this special.

  

 

 

Shaken Not Stirred (Mixology#1)

by Alyssa Rose Ivy

Release Date: January 7th, 2014

Thoughts: Another Alyssa Rose Ivy novels. Even though I don't really keep up and read all her new releases, it's nice to just promote her. :) Hmm. Well, another new adult novel. 

Tagline: Finding the perfect guy is like mixing the perfect drink. It's all about the taste and presentation.

Good point there. Hmmm. Sounds like this will cook up a great story. 

The Course of True Love [and First Dates] (The Bane Chronicles #10)

by Cassandra Clare

Release Date: January 21st, 2014

Thoughts: Oooh. Finally. A modern one. For MAGNUS BANE and ALEC LIGHTWOOD. For Maglec shippers Or Algnus shippers. Alenus? Okay. I like Maglec better. Maga. Amag. LOL. Lecnus. I'm done. Just stick with Maglec. For Maglec shippers, here's one for you! :D Haha. And let's hope we get more of a peak at Jace and Clary. Cuz they so cute <3

 Tagline: Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood might fall in love—but first they have a first date. One of ten adventures in The Bane Chronicles.

Haha. First date. Enjoy.

Pretty in Pearls (Fins #3.5)

by Tera Lynn Childs

Release Date: January 7th, 2014

Thoughts: What's this? A Fins series! It's still going on? Remember Forgive My Fins? I dunno if you guys ever read this, but I read this way back in 7th grade. Which is only two years ago. Haha. Seriously though, I did not know Fins was a continuing series. I might give this a read. Might. It's pretty much a middle grade book.

Tagline: Undersea romance with captivating merboys, deep friendship, and spectacular pearls.

Spectacular. 

 

 Uninvited (Uninvited #1)

by Sophie Jordan

Release Date: January 28th, 2014

Thoughts: Ooh. This really sounds good. That line on the cover: "They say she's a killer. One day she will be." is such a teaser. Yes. I want to read this. A dystopian novel from the looks of it. I don't like murders but this truly sounds lovely. Uninvited. That's quite a sad title. And from the Goodreads synopsis, there's probably going to be romance between Davy, the main character, and Sean. 

Tagline: The Scarlet Letter meets Minority Report in bestselling author Sophie Jordan's chilling new novel about a teenage girl who is ostracized when her genetic test proves she's destined to become a murderer.

Well. Never read The Scarlet Letter or Minority Report but hope it sounds good.

High Time for Heroes (Magic Tree House #51)

by Mary Pope Osbourne

Release Date: January 7th, 2014

Thoughts: A Magic Tree House book! That was back in third grade! Like 6 years ago, man. BACK IN MY DAY.... 

Haha. Can't believe Jack and Annie are still the same age. Definitely haven't been keeping up with this series. Last time i read one was #41. Quite long ago. 

Tagline: Err. Are there even any taglines? They're all the same. Introducing this book basically. Here's a sum up. Jack and Annie will be in Egypt searching for another secret of greatness for Merlin. 

Heartbeat

by Elizabeth Scott

Release Date: January 28th, 2014

Thoughts: Huh. Great cover. It looks really cute. I love YA romance. I think it is one. Hold up. Lemme read the synopsis first. Aww. It's kind of a tragic teenage story and her miseries. All the suffering she's living through that's not the typical teenager problems. I would definitely read this if I was asked to. I could use some tears. :D If there is any.

Tagline:  Life. Death. And...Love?

Yes, sweetie, there's always time for love. Go and live on. There's something out there for you. 

 

Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky #3)

by Veronica Rossi

Release Date: January 28th, 2014

Thoughts: It's like all the Harper Collins January releases are all releasing on this date. Oh. Such a treat. We still have to wait. On the other hand, OMG. THE LAST INSTALLMENT OF UNDER THE NEVER SKY GUYS! In the beginning, I didn't love this book as much, but then I read the second novel and it turns out that I it isn't as bad as I thought it was. So yeah. I'm gonna continue and read the third and final book of Veronica Rossi's Under the Never Sky. 

Tagline: The world needs them. They need each other.

That is so freakin' cute.

Hmmm. It seems that's it for now.

Not much January novels.

Well, hope there's more next month. 

Cuz I'm coming back!

And if you're interested, I'm watching Ender's Game cuz the book was awesome! :D

And if you guys know some other juicy January releases, comment and I'll post it also!

Enjoy.
