Out of Sight, Out of Time

Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter 4.5 out of 5 stars

I'll premise this by saying I really do love this series.  Light-hearted, heart-felt and full of action.  Plus, it's about a spy school for girls the Gallagher Academy.  How cool is that? 

This is the fifth book in the series.  I would definitely recommend reading the books in order (but I will go ahead a recommend reading all of the books by Ally Carter, she's awesome!).

The story starts with Cammie waking up in an alpine convent.  She has no memory of how she got there or even what day it is.  It doesn't take long for her to find out that she has no idea what has happened during the entire summer (the last things that she remembers are the events of the fourth book); those months are just an empty space in her mind.  Cammie heads back to school to new faces and a general uneasiness.  Just what exactly had happened to her over the summer?  She, with the help of her friends, need to find out before the Circle stops or worse captures her.  The story follows along her rediscovery of the events of the summer and the mystery of why the circle is after her in the first place.

This is my least favorite book of the series (but rated at a 4.5 that's saying a lot!), mainly because there is a slight shift in the narrative.  Cammie in this book is not the same Cammie in the others.  This is an intentional shift, so it's forgivable, but it also wasn't quite as enjoyable.  Even saying that, I look forward to the 6th one!
