Abby Banks is your typical girl, except that her entire life has been one big lie. Kidnapped as a young girl and fostered by a government agency as collateral, Abby never knew she was important... until her mom's terrorist organization unleashes a devastating attack on the facility. May Contain Spies is the first book in The Meet Abby Banks spy thriller series. Readers who enjoyed Sara Shepard's Lying Game series, Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series, or Robert Muchamore's Cherub series will likely enjoy this young adult spy adventure.*Book 2: The Spy Within (ASIN: B00YIG2QTU) is on sale for only $2.99!* Interview with the Author Q - So, what makes the Meet Abby Banks series special? A - The series is really a mix of everything I love all thrown together in a blender. At its core you'll find an action adventure thriller after it has jumped the shark on a motorcycle with Michael Bay explosions in the background. There's also a touch of romance with a guy that will make your pulse quicken as well as a wild ride full of twists and turns you'll never see coming. The Meet Abby Banks books are a great mix of genres, set in a slightly science fiction world full of conspiracies to keep things interesting. Q - Do I have to read these books in order? A - Because the books follow Abby as she grows stronger and the conspiracies grow more complex, I recommend readers start with May Contain Spies before moving onto The Spy Within. The sequence is: - May Contain Spies - The Spy Within - Spy for the Spiers Q - So, why should readers give these books a try? A - Because the Meet Abby Banks series takes off from the start and never lets up, even for a second. They will take readers on an emotional and action-packed roller coaster that will leave their heart pounding and have them craving more! If you enjoy books paced in overdrive and a plot with surprises all the way until the last page, you'll enjoy this spy thriller series. Thanks for reading!

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Has faults, but just plain fun! By IsaboeOfLumatere NOTE: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.First thought on reading the synopsis: the heroine's name is Abby! Finally, an Abigail I can actually admire. Not like the evil Abigail from The Crucible or, even worse, Taylor Swift's friend Abigail from her song "Fifteen". Any friend of Taylor Swift has officially lost my respect. (You know I'm looking at you, Lorde.)Unfortunately, Abby wasn't quite as kick-ass as I wished she was. Sure, she thought about saving herself whenever she was captured by her super-evil mother, but who ended up doing all the saving? Abby?As if!Apparently, only heroes (or in this case Stephen) can be the ones to swoop in and save the poor damsels in distress because the weeping damsels are just incapable of saving themselves. Also, this is a small thing, but do we really have to mention Stephen's blue eyes so many times?1. "when I stared into Stephen's sapphire eyes, I wondered if I wanted to be a good girl." (Kill. Me. Now.)2. "staring at me with those piercing blue eyes of his."3. "the look in his sapphire eyes"4. "His blue eyes filled with such depth, such hurt, that I knew he wanted to comfort me, only he didn't know how." (Apparently the only thing he knows how to do is save damsels in distress.)5. "I stared deep into his sapphire eyes, and a wave of sadness washed over me." (Sigh...)6. "He turned toward me, and his blue eyes fixed on me."7. "His eyes were so blue and deep that, for a moment, it felt like I was drowning as he led me toward the back of the room." (Drowning. Something I kind of wish she was doing right now.)8. "His brilliant blue eyes sparkled, lips curling into a smile as he leaned in toward me."9. "he whirled around, eyes like oceans of sapphire as he took hold of my hands and stared at me." (Oceans of sapphire? Dang, I wish I were that rich! Yes, I am resorting to taking a metaphor--or is that a simile?--literally to escape the pain of reading about Stephen's blue eyes one more time.)10. "he said, glancing at me with eyes like an ocean storm as I followed him." (into the bedroom, where they did what bunnies do, to quote Ingrid Michaelson. Or at least that's what I wish they'd done so they could just get it over with!)So why four stars? The plot made up for the lack of character development. As smart as I flatter myself into thinking I am, I would never in a million years have guessed the ending. That and the super-spy tools. Reversing gravity with a ring? You have to admit that's pretty darned cool. And the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy joke definitely improved my opinion of Cipriano."[Abby asked Donovan] 'What's going on with me, my mom, and everything?' Donovan sighed so loudly that it could have awakened the dead. 'I was hoping you were going to ask an interesting question, maybe "why are we here?" or "will you make out with me?" then I would have had a good answer.' He waved his hand as if blowing me off. 'Yours is barely worth the effort. I'm half-tempted to just answer with forty-two.'"Donovan should just have said "42. The answer to life, the universe, and everything." That would have made my life so much better.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Spy Thriller By Lupine Smile I would like to thank the author, J.A. Cipriano, for giving me an electronic copy of this book to read and review. Life is ordinary for Abby Banks: she is a sixteen year old high school student, works part time at her mother's restaurant in the afternoons, and has a crush on a customer that comes in daily. This customer, Stephen, comes to her rescue when the threat of violence against her becomes imminent and leads her into a world that she did not know existed. May Contain Spies features non stop action, right up to the dramatic conclusion. Suspending belief for a few moments, this story is fun and filled with many thrilling moments. I felt like I was watching a ping pong match, back and forth when Abby's situation changed once again. In my opinion, the author did not have to keep driving home the point that Abby has a crush on Stephen. With the characters in general, too much attention was placed on their physical attributes and not enough on their intellect. If you like reading about spies, this light and airy version of a thriller might be to your liking. Personally, I thought it was a quick read and it provided me with a fun way to spend the morning.

Fast Paced By Celeste I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Having read the Lillim Callina Chronicles by this author I was interested to see his take on a spy story. While I’m not exactly disappointed, I can’t say I’m all that impressed either.The story revolves around 16 year old Abby Banks who lives a normal life until she gets a gun pulled on her at work. From there things go into overdrive. Through super spy Stephen Abby finds out about her real mom who controls a terrorist agency and that Abby was held as collateral by the government and that pretty much her whole life was a lie. Enter spies, cool gadgets and evil villains.The pace of this book is insane. It’s like a rollercoaster with rocket launchers on steroids. I can’t decide whether this is a good thing or not. I suppose it would depend on what you like reading and normally I can handle something like this but I do think the super fast pace meant that character development was nil and everything just sort of fell flat for me there. Also am I the only one who thought Stephen was creepy? I mean he practically stalks Abby for a month and then he saves her but she thinks its all good because really he in love with her. No. While the author implies that Stephen has studied Abby (also creepy) and has therefore been crushing on her for awhile it fails to translate to that first blush of teenage romance and apart from coming across as creepy it also seems to just be insta-love(something I despise).I personally think the story would have been improved had we gotten to know more about Stephen and Abby and had the plot been a little slower their relationship dynamics could have been included to give us a better picture of their characters.I love books about strong female main characters. This is something I expected from Abby, but she was more the damsel in distress who wants to do something but is all too powerless and simply has to wait around until Stephen is free to come save her again and again and again.As far as plots go the ending was a definite twist and while some may love this it just seemed too much like a cop out to me. However I would be interested in seeing where the whole Government is out to get Abby now will go.Pick this up if you want a quick fast paced light read. Suspension of disbelief and annoyance with damsels in distress is required.
