Before I get into this book itself I just have to say, Ally Carter= AWESOME. Seriously. I don't think any author does teen heroines quite like Ally Carter.
Now, I think it's a known fact that each book in the Gallagher Girls series is better than the last and this book is no different. There's action, there's an awesome plot, there are surprises and revealations, there's Rome, and, of course, there is romance.
But above all that I'd have to say my favorite part of this book (and the series as a whole) are the well-developed/and or incredibly hilarious characters. Cammie, Bex, Macey, Liz, Zach, Mr. Solomon, Rachel, Abby, Townsend...need I go on? Each character is different from the next and has their own voice and I love all of them. I can't even pick a favorite because they are just so awesome in their own way! I even hold the secondary characters close to my heart because they bring so much humor to the series. It seems that all the characters seem to really mature and grow up in this book compared to the rest. Of course, Cammie especially. She even notices how different she is now to the way she was in the first book. (Remember silly Cammie who worried about having a boyfriend?)
Speaking of the first book, another part of this book I loved a lot was (without spoiling anything) the way it tied in certain aspects (and characters) from the first three books. There will be a point where you will stop everything and find your copy of I'd Tell You I Love You But then I'd Have to Kill You and reread a section in there and think "OK" (unless you're like me and have read the first book so many times that you have practically memorized...). There are a few characters from the first couple of books that are back and relevent as well (one in particular that made me INCREDIBLY happy to see.)
The fact that this book has always been in first person point of view always made the reader feel positive and assured of who Cammie was and that she could be trusted. But since Cammie has lost her memory of the last few months, Cammie AND the reader are left completly in the dark. And so Cammie (and the reader) begins to question whether she can truely trust herself.
Out of Sight, Out of Time was truely fantastic and well worth the long wait. I am excitedly waiting the next in the series (which I believe is supposed to be the last. WHAT? NO!)

“Excuse me, Abigail, but whose shift did she get away during?' Townsend asked with a glare.
'Excuse me, Townsend, but who was supposed to booby-trap the doors?'
'I'm an agent of Her Majesty's Secret Service,' Townsend said, indignant. 'I do not do booby traps.”

“Abby must have been the one who found the safe house, because Townsend didn't like it.
"The building across the street is under construction," he snarled as soon as we'd carried our bags inside.
"The elevator has key card access, and I've hacked into the surveillance cameras from every system on the block," Abby argued. "We have a three-hundred-sixty-degree visual."
"Excellent." Townsend dropped his bag. "Now the circle can see us from every angle."
"Don't mind Agent Townsend, girls," Abby told us. "He's a glass-half-empty kind of spy."
"Also known as the good kind," he countered.
Abby huffed.”

“Zach,” I said as I lay there “Where did you go? When you were looking for me?”
I shifted in his arms, looked into his eyes.
“Crazy.” His voice was a whisper against my skin. “I went crazy.”

“Do
you know what pain is, Cammie? It’s the
body’s physical response to imminent harm.
It is the mind’s way of telling us to move our
hand off the stove or let go of the broken
glass.”

I agree. I think it will definitely be worth the wait.
