#Prettyboy Must Die

After totally failing at his first assignment as a CIA operative, Jake Morrow, is on the verge of losing his spot in the agency.  It's the first thing he's really cared about since his parents died, and he's not about to go down without a fight.

Now he's enrolled at an elite private school as Peter Smith.  As far as the CIA knows, he's laying low, but he chose the school on purpose.  There was a hacker at the job gone wrong, and he has reason to suspect that hacker will be at his new school.

His entire career could be over though when a girl snaps a pic of him shirtless running at the track and posts it with hashtag prettyboy.  Before he knows it, he's trending on social media, but he's getting nowhere with his investigation. 

Is it just a coincidence that terrorists attack his school?  Are they here for him or maybe the hacker?  Peter is out of class when things start going wrong, so maybe he has a chance to stop the terrorists, save his friends, and get the girl.

Kimberly Reid's new book is a fast-paced spy adventure with plenty of convenient coincidences.  Even if the plot strains credulity, I love that the protagonist is an African American male and his raised-in-a-bunker best friend provides plenty of comic relief.  Recommended for grades 8 and up for profanity.
