A Lexi Carmichael Mystery, #11
Geek girl Lexi Carmichael thought getting engaged would mean calmer days ahead. But when Slash's past brings up more questions than answers, she's not going to let anything--or anyone--drive them apart.
Getting engaged is supposed to be a fun, exciting time in a girl's life. But things are never that easy for Slash and me. Instead, someone is threatening to expose Slash's past--a past so secret, even I know very little about it.
Before I can get used the weight of Nonna's antique ring on my finger, he's on his way to Rome...and we're farther apart than we've ever been. Still, I have no intention of sitting at home and letting him take on the Vatican by himself.
With a little expert-level hacking, I learn Slash is keeping secrets from me. Big ones. Dangerous ones. In fact, the more I dig into Slash's past, the more I discover things about him I never knew--things that eventually pit us against each other.
From Rome to the Amalfi coast to the highest levels of the Vatican, we both race to discover the truth. No matter what I find, we're officially a team now, so I won't let him face this alone. Even if I don't know if our relationship can survive it.

ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
JULIE: All the time. My brain has a thousand tabs open, but one tab is always actively working on the next book(s).
ANGI: What’s your favorite thing about your book’s hero?
JULIE: My favorite thing about my heroine Lexi Carmichael is that she’s such a conundrum. She’s smart enough to know she needs people and a life outside her “virtual existence,” but she doesn’t know quite how to go about it. Enter her best friend, Basia, who is essentially the expositional character in the series. She plays off Lexi’s inexperience and offers suggestions to help bring her out of her geek shell with sometimes (well, most of the time) unexpected results.
ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
JULIE: Star Wars IV: A New Hope. I remember being electrified in the movie theater the first time I saw it. It was so fresh, original and exciting. I still love it to this day!
ANGI: A woman after my own heart !!
ANGI: Salad or soup?
JULIE: Gah! Too hard to answer. I love both soup and salad! Depends on my mood and the day.
ANGI: Would you put yourself in a Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
JULIE: Action adventure for sure. Love the challenge, the figuring out the puzzles and problems and enjoy fast-paced action.
ANGI: Favorite TV rerun you watch every time you channel surf?
JULIE: Star Trek. Doesn’t matter which series version, although I have an extra spot for The Next Generation and Captain Picard.
ANGI: Now you’re just trying to get on my good side… LOVE Star Trek!
ANGI: Favorite date night…fancy or at home?
JULIE: Casual out. Mostly so I don’t have to cook or do the dishes. J
ANGI: Champagne or Soda?
JULIE: Pink champagne all the way, baby!
ANGI: Geek or Jock?
JULIE: Geek Girls Rule!!
ANGI: PLEASE NOTE Julie’s bio pic.
ANGI: The most daring thing you’ve ever done… Care to share?
JULIE: Underwater cave diving in Okinawa when I was a teenager. I lived there for three years while in high school. Looking back I realized how dangerous it was. But, it was extraordinarily beautiful and exciting!

When U.S. intelligence agencies invite teen geek and ace hacker, Angel Sinclair, and her friends to try out for a highly competitive school for government operatives, will she wash out or step into a future she never expected?
My name is Angel Sinclair and I'm the youngest senior at a high school for technologically-gifted students. School bored me until my friends and I were unexpectedly tapped to try out for a top-secret spy academy. I'm not sure I have what it takes to be an operative for the U.S. government, but my friends and I are going to give it our best shot.
But first I have to go up against uber-skilled candidates who can do a thousand push-ups, kill a person with a fingernail file, and make handcuffs out of paper clips. My only defining skills are my mad hacking abilities and extreme awkwardness. I don't know what kind of spy that would make me, but I'm not going down without a fight.
With my loyal friends by my side, we're in a race to finish at the top of the class. Together we have the smarts...but we'll have to battle our insecurities and work together or miss out on an adventure of a lifetime.
