It has a slight supernatural element but certainly not as much as I&#8217;ve read in her other stories. I prefer more speculative myself, but I decided to give this book a shot since I won it in one of her giveaways. One thing that&#8217;s very creative about this book is that&#8217;s formatted like you&#8217;re reading spy reports so it makes it all feel more real.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>What I liked:<\/b><\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The plot was interesting. I&#8217;ve been on mission trips before so this reminded me a lot of the one I took to France, especially with the warning for pickpockets. It makes sense that a Christian spy league would use that as a cover. Adding in the Christian spies gave it a thriller feel.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\">Some instances had me tense like the encounters with the Bratva, Spencer&#8217;s dreams, and the climax, but nothing really jerked me in emotionally.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\">The whole Mission League sounds interesting, but I didn&#8217;t fully get the importance of them in this book. The intercessors seemed like they had potential with the predictions, but I would have liked more direct supernatural conflict.There wasn&#8217;t much included besides<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">&nbsp;possible demonic activity, prophetic dreams, and a possible angel so I&#8217;m still trying to see where the specialized situations for this organization come in. Perhaps in the other books. I liked all the spy tools though. Those were cool.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">Spencer is a neat character. Though instead of just being a typical basketball jock, he has a bit of a nerd side with his liking for computers and video games. He has a very unique voice which is always important for a first person story, though sarcastic like most first persons in YA novels. I like that he has an implied shady past so that gives a bit more intrigue for him. From just the first few chapters you get know him pretty well like that he&#8217;s unsatisfied with his life and he&#8217;s fearful about getting sent to military school. I also like that he struggles with an addiction which isn&#8217;t commonly done in CBA YA and it&#8217;s nice to see that written about.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">I related to him in a lot of ways. One thing is that he wasn&#8217;t sure about all happy joy stuff he&#8217;s witnessed Christians displaying. I&#8217;m a Christian, but I&#8217;m not as hyped up as everyone else. I&#8217;m more serious with my faith than oozing happiness, and I get how the oozing happiness can be a bit of a put off. Though I&#8217;m still not sure exactly what made Christianity so off-putting to him originally. I wasn&#8217;t sure if it was just what he witnessed or something in his past scarred him against it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">There is a very large cast of characters in this book. Spencer&#8217;s grandma is an interesting woman. Her appearance is unique and reminded me of visiting some old folk&#8217;s homes. Spencer&#8217;s best friend, Kip, and Kimbal seem interesting, but you don&#8217;t see too much of them except in the beginning.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\">Ryan seems all right from what I saw of him, but a bit typical.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The agents in training are diverse, but I got them mixed up a lot. Nick is a typical rival for Spencer with the uniqueness of being a preacher&#8217;s kid. Jake and Isaac I forgot about their existence often, but they seemed nice when they came into the spotlight. Gabe I wasn&#8217;t sure about at first, but I grew to like him.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\">Isabel was an all right crush, but I hope Spencer leans more toward Beth. I like her a lot. She was my favorite character in the story. I wish she was in it more. Arianna is an over-the-top Christian girl. Mission-Ari is a very, very appropriate nickname. She &#8230; well &#8230; I&#8217;ll talk more about her later.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">Another thing that&#8217;s really cool about this book is all the different accents: Spanish, French, and Russian. I liked how Jill made them so easy to recognize without mangling the words too much so it&#8217;s too distracting. It&#8217;s a fine balance.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The book also goes into the point of view of a seemingly random Russian kid named Pasha who is being manipulated by a woman named Anya. At first I was like, &#8220;Soooo the point of this is what?&#8221; But later in the story it weaves in nicely. Anya is really creepy, but she wasn&#8217;t as intimidating to me as I felt like she could have been. She was a decent villain, but I hope she&#8217;s expanded on more in the rest of the series.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">Many lines made me laugh like Spencer thinking, &#8220;The prettier the girl, the less I function as a normal human.&#8221; or &#8220;Must. Not. Murder. Teacher&#8217;s. Son.&#8221; or &#8220;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\">Mr. S stayed glued to me like glitter on a VBS cross, though.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">Now the writing. The description is really good. Jill does well to set each scene. The detail on a guy&#8217;s frayed jeans really made me get a good picture of a character. One of my favorite things about Jill&#8217;s writing is she points out little details that really jerk you in. Spencer and Pasha&#8217;s character arcs were good and it was neat watching them both change throughout the story.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\">There were many themes in this novel, good lines, and discussions. I liked how they showed that bad experiences can pave ways for good things to happen like Spencer&#8217;s experiences allowing him to relate to Pasha or Sveltana&#8217;s tough past touching Spencer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\">Beth ate the soggy roll in one bite, dimples forming in her cheeks as she chewed. \u201cIt\u2019s funny how people say they don\u2019t believe in God but blame Him when something bad happens. He never gets credit for all the good days, just blamed for the few bad ones. That\u2019s how&nbsp;I was.\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\">I leaned forward and stared Beth down. \u201cBut God could\u2019ve saved your mom, kept that car accident from happening. How can you be okay with that?\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif;\"><i>\u201cGod made the world. He made me.\u201d Beth plucked a strawberry off my tray. \u201cLook at this thing, Tiger, all these little seeds. It\u2019s amazing. I don\u2019t have a clue what God\u2019s up to. I can\u2019t make a strawberry. If God wants my mom in heaven, who am I to say no? He made her. She belongs to Him, not me. Besides, what would I have to say to you if she were alive? Me, raised by my dad and three brothers? I\u2019d be a different person if Mom had lived, playing with dolls and getting manicures. That\u2019s how God works.

The prose was a bit choppy and I found some typos.<\/p>\n<p>The user name &#8220;db666&#8221; seemed painfully obvious.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer&#8217;s nicknames got confusing and I couldn&#8217;t tell who people were like with Mr. Chess and Mr. S. To this day I&#8217;m not even sure who Mr. Chess was. Some words that Spencer used like &#8220;tomes&#8221; and &#8220;vexed&#8221; seemed out of Spencer&#8217;s voice. I also didn&#8217;t get why people told him he was misusing his gifts because he doesn&#8217;t have a relationship with God.<\/p>\n<p>The characters could have been better. I couldn&#8217;t get to know most of them and I forgot most of them existed a lot of the time. Priere was a bit of a stereotype. Some of their Christian behavior seemed honestly sappy and I was totally with Spencer. I&#8217;m not like that around my Christian friends.<\/p>\n<p>I hate to say this, but Arianna. Drove. Me. Nuts. I couldn&#8217;t stand her. I cringed whenever she showed up on the page. She was so &#8230; preachy, a wimp, and sometimes just plain creepy. I say creepy because she wanted to force people to do the &#8220;right thing&#8221; and that just disturbed me. She was way, way overdone. I was happy when Spencer told her off. I would have done it weeks before he did. Later on she apologizes for her behavior with Spencer, but that still didn&#8217;t make her any better in my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>*VAGUE SPOILERS*<br \/>\nThe ending disappointed me in one aspect. I&#8217;ll try to keep this as vague as possible, but instead of Spencer finding a way out, he was saved and he gets in trouble for all he did. I wanted to see him conquer his foes, not have people sweep in and get him out.<br \/>\n*END OF SPOILERS*<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; line-height: 20px;\"><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , &quot;times&quot; , &quot;freeserif&quot; , serif; line-height: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Content Cautions:<\/b><\/span>&nbsp;The book is pretty clean.
