Happy Release, Trouble Lurks!

Welcome to the next stop on the release tour for Trouble Lurks, by Elisabeth Joy!

“The Incognito SMILE Agency isn’t always as whimsical as it appears.”

Trouble Lurks is a whimsical and exciting YA spy novel. The characters are wacky and vivid, and the plot is fresh and fast paced.

I loved all the book references scattered throughout the story, and how the entire plot is literally based around a book. It’s so fun and unique, and the ISA is such a fun setting. (And Agent Pixie is the best character in the story, hands down. *innocent smirk*)

Also. The cover. I…have a very special love of the cover. XD It’s epic.

I totally rate this amazing novel 10 out of 5 stars.

CW: The MC’s dad has died. Spy violence/fighting. Trauma and all that fun stuff. A pretty intense border-line-torture scene with the bad guy and the adult MC.

Sometimes, the most ordinary objects hold the deepest secrets.

While 16-year-old Tirana Caineson loves a good spy story, she isn’t so sure that she wants to live one. But when she discovers a new book in her local library that shouldn’t exist, she’s determined to unravel the mystery–because the author is dead. Right?

Whisked away into an incognito world of secrets, danger, and insanity, it’s up to Tirana to protect a manuscript that could cost her her life. But she’s not the only one who thinks that an average book contains more than meets the eye, and there are other forces who will stop at nothing to get their hands on it.

The world of secret agents isn’t nearly as romantic as it is in the storybooks, and with the safety of those she loves at stake, Tirana must embark on a mission to uncover the truth… before the lies entangle them all.

Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and Kara Swanson’s Dust meets the works of P.D. Atkerson in this whimsical spy tale, where friendships, secrets, and trouble lurk.
