Can't Wait Wednesday: Liberty: The Spy Who (Kind of) Liked Me - Andrea Portes

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Tessa at Wishful Endings that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.



This week I can't wait for Liberty: The Spy Who (Kind of) Liked Me by Andrea Portes.

Liberty: The Spy Who (Kind of) Liked Me
Andrea Portes
Series: n/a
Release Date: June 6, 2017
Publisher: HarperTeen
Waited on by: Sam

Andrea Portes is back with a fast-paced, super-fun spy novel, told in her signature snarky, voice-driven style.

What is a hero? Paige Nolan knows.

Edward Raynes, the young man who exposed America’s unconstitutional spying techniques, is a hero, even if half the dum-dums in the country think he’s a traitor. Or her parents, journalists who were captured by terrorists while telling stories of the endangered and oppressed. They were heroes, too. Were. . . or are—no one has ever told Paige if they’re still alive, or dead.

Not heroes? Anyone in the government who abandoned her parents, letting them rot somewhere halfway across the world. And certainly not Paige herself, who despite her fluency in five languages and mastery of several obscure martial arts (thanks, Mom!) could do nothing to save them.

Couldn’t, that is, until she’s approached by Madden Carter, an undercover operative who gives her a mission—fly to Russia, find Raynes, and discover what other government secrets he’s stockpiled. In exchange, he’ll reopen the case on her missing parents. She’s given a code name and a cover as a foreign exchange student.

Who is a hero? Not Paige Nolan, but maybe, just maybe, Liberty is.





I will not lie, the title totally caught me when I was perusing GoodReads. It said "fun" to me, and when I read the blurb, I knew I was right. There are also all these buzz words showing up in early reviews, which just make a read appealing to me: snarky, hilarious, silly, fun, caper. On top of that, it's a spy novel. I don't read a ton of spy novels, but they are always interesting with their gadgets and subterfuge.



I haven't read this book yet, but I am already rooting for Paige, and hoping she is successful with her mission.









What are you waiting on?

    1. The cover caught my eye, because of the fact that I am a cover-ho. I am trying to mix it up a little. Before I was asked to contribute to the blog, I almost only read contemporary romances, but since I am the only one really posting right now, I am making an effort to diversify a little.
