Alias Emma by Ava Glass
4.0
adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

 On one of her first assignments as a secret agent, Emma Makepeace has 12 hours to deliver the son of a Russian dissident into protective custody. When Russian assassins hack into the city's widespread security camera network, Emma must use all her training and skill to deliver him across the most camera-ridden city in the world without being spotted.

Alias Emma is a fun summer read with a thrilling high-action plot that belongs on any summer reading list. Emma was a delightful protagonist, competent and strong but not over-the-top superhero level. Plus, Emma's chemistry with Michael hit just the right tones, a natural camaraderie without a sappy falling head over heels in love. I fully expect to see a film adaptation soon.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Ballantine Books through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
