The Big Daddy of WW2 Spy Fiction

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

February 4, 2022 by Pooja 2 Comments

Men tell stories. Women get on with it. For us it was a shadow war. There were no parades for us when it was over, no medals or mentions in history books. We did what we had to during the war, and when it was over, we picked up the pieces and started our lives over. It seems like every other historical fiction book being released these days is about women who were spies and saboteurs during the occupation of France in World War Two. […]

When the only person who knows all the secrets is six

Spy x Family vol 5 by Tatsuya Endo

August 15, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 13: Self Care I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned in previous reviews that I tend to turn to manga and comics for comfort reading. One of my current favorite series is Spy X Family, in which a husband, wife, and daughter are gathered and have to present an ideal picture to the world, but things can get awkward at home since everyone has a major secret: Dad is a spy, Mom’s an assassin, Bond the dog who gets premonitions of the future, and daughter is […]

World War II meets King Arthur’s Court

The Metropolitans by Carol Goodman

August 2, 2021 by chelz.hawk 1 Comment

Set in WWII New York, four kids find themselves at the MET on a cold Sunday afternoon, each dealing with a hand far heavier than any teen should be dealt. Walt was sent to live with family in the US to keep out of Hitler’s grasp. Kiko is a young Chinese girl who looks too much like the enemy to ever be trusted. Madge has been separated from her siblings as a result of her father’s overwhelming grief over her mother’s passing and all she […]

Secret Agent, Number Nine! Secret Agent, Number Nine! They do cool stuff all the time!

Agent 9: Flood-A-Geddon! by James Burks

March 25, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Agent 9: Flood-A-Geddon! would make a great Nickelodeon like cartoon super spy story. There is adventure with silly characters, funky fun illustrations, a relatable narrator (who might be a bit annoying to the adult viewer/reader at times) and is overall a good time. James Burks authors and illustrates this graphic novel. I am not sure if it is book one in a series (it reads both as a first and second book in a series) but reads as if more is to come. And not […]

Cozy mystery involving spies and Girl Scouts

Merit Badge Murder by Leslie Langtry

December 22, 2020 by pixifer Leave a Comment

I seem to have developed a thing for cozy mysteries involving spies. I’m honestly not sure how it happened. Was I looking for spy novels and thought these sounded cute? Or was I looking at cozies and decided spies would be a nice change from amateur sleuths? Merit Badge Murder is the first book in the Merry Wrath series. A CIA agent is forced into early retirement after being outed on national television. She changes her name Merry Wrath and settles in her family’s hometown […]

Bond, Jimmy Bond

SilverFin: The Graphic Novel by Charlie Higson

February 11, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I must have read this in the novel format as this morning, when sitting down to write my review, everything seemed to feel familiar. It also could be that this is a very common mystery/adventure story of a young boy trying to find out why another boy went missing, making friends and figuring out what the plan of the villain is (who of course is the father of the bully the boy must deal with at school). SilverFin: The Graphic Novel is an interpretation of […]
