Girls Only Live Twice

She wants out. When sixteen-year-old Emma finds out the truth about her mother's death, it makes her question everything, including her loyalty to the Authority, a secret organization she joined. Feeling trapped, Emma comes up with a desperate plan to escape their control. Ryan is suspicious. He's been trying to convince Emma to join Venomous for months. He thinks Emma's disappearance is tied to a secret move to join him and the worldwide criminal organization. But Asset One, the leader of Venomous, holds all the cards. Using them to play his own game against the Authority and the Gems. A game with a dramatic ending that will destroy the Authority and kill millions under a mushroom cloud. Emma can refuse to play his game and live happily ever after with her grandmother. Or she can be a hero...and risk losing everything. Girls Only Live Twice is the fifth book in The Gems Young Adult spy series that features strong characters, a complex romance, bad-ass female villains, and an evil man with a deadly falcon. Think James Bond mixed with Charlie's Angels. If you enjoy spy thrillers with twists and turns along with culturally diverse characters who struggle to find out the truth in a world where the truth is always subjective, then the fifth book in Doug Solter's continuing young adult spy series is for you. "I love spy books and tough women characters, so this one was an easy sell for me. As a young adult novel, this one is a little light weight compared to what I usually read, but it was still a lot of fun. The characters and the organization are well developed with solid back stories which fit well with the plot. The plot itself is also well done, being both easy to follow, but including enough twists and turns in the investigation to keep it interesting. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and still look forward to future installments." -- BookBub Review of GOLT Click or tap the buy button and dive into the most emotional Gems novel yet.For ages 13 through Adult.
