I have two weeks. You’ll shoot me at the end no matter what I do.

That’s what you do to enemy agents. It’s what we do to enemy agents. But I look at all the dark and twisted roads ahead and cooperation is the easy way out. Possibly the only way out for a girl caught red-handed doing dirty work like mine — and I will do anything, anything, to avoid SS-Hauptsturmführer von Linden interrogating me again.

He has said that I can have as much paper as I need. All I have to do is cough up everything I can remember about the British War Effort. And I’m going to. But the story of how I came to be here starts with my friend Maddie. She is the pilot who flew me into France — an Allied Invasion of Two.

We are a sensational team.

I love historical fiction but i had yet to diverge into WW2 books. Boy, was I missing out! This book was heart wrenchingly beautiful. The characters were very realistic and they didn't make any stupid mistakes, that as a reader, would make me want to leap into the book and throttle some sense into them.

For me I found Queenie the more interesting character between the two,and I wished they had spent more time on her story than Maddie. But none the less, I liked the change of perspective to Madies POV. I felt for once that the change was necessary, not a simple and quick way to fill a book with stuff you already knew.

I'm gonna end this review here before i divulge any information about the story line. But i'll leave you with this: GO READ THIS BOOK!
