This is the second book in the awesome Alex Unlimited series. Alex is a special agent who can conjure up versions of herself who have special expertise. This mission requires someone who can speak with ghosts. But this mission seems different to all the rest. Instead of her taking a back seat she is asked to take the lead which is unusual and leaves Alex with a sense of control and responsibility that she has never felt before. But all is not what it seems. Alex is still lost has she still has no idea about her past and where she came from but it is proving difficult to find any answers to her burning questions. This book is just as good as the first in the series (which, I find, isn’t always the case when it comes to trilogies). It is jam packed with quick action and nail biting episodes (which caused many a late night for me!). Alex, the main protagonist, is brilliant and kick-ass and an agent that we could all be friends with. She is quick thinking and astute but is aware of her flaws and pitfalls. I really loved this book (as I did the first one) as it shows a greater depth to Alex but also leaves some of the loose ends still hanging (which, I hope, may get tied up in the third and final book. You can tell that Dan Jolley writes for comics as well as the pace is just as breath taking and really shows the real time events as they happen. Alex is so believable (even though her circumstances really aren’t!) I would be recommending this book for anyone aged 12+ - although it is a little spooky at times with a few quick action fights too! Read if you like real-life action heroes, a touch of the unexpected and a bit of romance thrown in for good measure.
