When her childhood best friend shows Ella that you can't always believe what you see, Ella finds herself thrown into the world of the German Resistance. On a dark night in 1941, Claudia is taken by the Gestapo, likely never to be seen again, unless Ella can save her. With the help of the man she loves, Ella must undertake her most dangerous mission yet and infiltrate the Nazi Party. Selling secrets isn't an easy job. In order to find Claudia, Ella must risk not only her life, but the lives of those she cares about. Will Ella be able to leave behind the girl of her youth and step into the shoes of another?

I was expecting more from this book based on the description but it really wasn't all that great. The narrator's voice was annoying, she sounded way too old for the young character and her male and younger female impersonations of other characters were really bad. It made listening very unenjoyable. The story itself was ok, the author used real anti-nazi resistance groups that were in Germany at the time to give the story credibility but they weren't even necessary. It almost felt like the author was trying too hard. Also, I wasn't too crazy with how it basically just ended. I mean, sure, you get what's going to happen but it was lazy on the author's part. I wouldn't recommend this book and I should've returned it early on like I wanted to but decided to stick it out. I don't even know if it's worth the 3 stars I gave it.

Meh, not that great of a story

My favorite genre is ww2 historical fiction. This books just seemed kinda shallow. Not very good character development I Hardly even knew the date most of the time. Timeline very important in war Too many loose ends. Suddenly it was the end. Not a lot of action and not much information given either. I may or may not try this Author again

Not very engaging to me
