Thank you Minotaur and NetGalley for the eARC of Playing It Safe!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I don't know how she does it, but Ashley Weaver has managed to make each book in the Electra McDonnell series better than the last!

In Playing It Safe, Electra is tasked with another mission from Major Ramsey, and this time it is in Sunderland.  When Electra leaves her family in London during the Blitz, she has very little information regarding her role in their latest adventure.  All she knows is her new identity and to wait for the major to contact her.  When trouble finds Electra first, she must use all that she has learned to protect her country and her own life.

I love this series and it makes it even better that I share it with Sito.  She was so excited to learn that I had an early copy of the book, so much so that she learned to use a Kindle to read it!  Sito read Playing It Safe over the course of a few days and said she couldn't put it down!  It is not an exaggeration that she has been talking about this one for months and keeps asking when the next one is coming out!

While it did take me longer to get to, Playing It Safe did not disappoint!  In addition to the mysteries Electra must solve, the question of will she pick Felix or Major Ramsey grows even more (even though I know who I want her to choose)!  The larger story arc of Electra discovering more about her parents also helps to really tie the series together.  After this ending, I am impatiently waiting for the fourth book in the series!
