Book Review: Alias Emma by Ava Glass

Rating: ...Literally Marvelous. 

 

Summary:

Emma Makepiece is a newly minted secret agent, barely graduated from basic training when she gets the call for her first major assignment. Eager to serve her country and prove her worth, she dives in headfirst.

Emma must covertly travel across one of the world’s most watched cities to bring the reluctant—and handsome—son of Russian dissidents into protective custody, so long as the assassins from the Motherland don’t find him first. With London’s famous Ring of Steel hacked by the Russian government, the two must cross the city without being seen by the hundreds of thousands of CCTV cameras that document every inch of the city’s streets, alleys, and gutters.

 

Magda's Thoughts: 

I enjoyed the audiobook, especially the voice actor who perfectly captured Emma's personality. Despite not being a big fan of spy novels, this book immediately grabbed my attention.

Set over 24 hours, it keeps you on the edge of your seat as Emma protects Michael from multiple Russian agents while ensuring his safe arrival at MI6. The constant obstacles and uncertainty about whom to trust made the story thrilling. Though the ending felt anticlimactic and left me wanting more, I still found the book very enjoyable and plan to continue with the series.
