Covert Interview
Covert Interview is the second book in the Covert Series, following Covert Assignment, a New Adult, coming of age series with romance and suspense. After growing up feeling like the unwanted leftovers of her parents’ divorce, Elle Paquet is finally an independent adult when she graduates from college to become an Information Scientist (the 21st century term for Librarian). What’s her first “adult” decision? She nixes her ten-year plan of going to grad school and marrying her college sweetheart to go work for the CIA and see how things turn out with hot agent Preston Raddick.
While Elle’s formal education may be over, life lessons are only just beginning. Preston teaches her a tough lesson about what a fling is and what it isn’t. Meanwhile, the CIA wants to know if she’s merely interested or truly committed to the agency. And are her skills up for the job? When Elle is given an assignment that tests her loyalty to her family and endangers herself and her loved ones, she learns that affiliation with the CIA means excitement can turn to danger at the drop of a hat, just as love can turn to heartbreak. Life as an adult is far harder than Elle ever imagined as she wrestles with unforeseen complications and new opportunities.
Covert Interview is about the unpredictable turns life can take.

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
Hmmm. I loved Covert Assignment, which was the 1st book in the series, but this one just felt like a filler. I'm not saying it was a bad book, it was just missing that sumpin' sumpin', you know?
I think the majority of the problem lies with the introduction of a new love interest.
Lyle. The Southern gentleman.
I didn't like him. At all.
My hope is that he turns out to be a terrorist, and Preston shoots him...while he's drinking his sweet iced tea.
Anyway.
Elle takes a bunch of personality tests, gets put into dangerous (but not too dangerous) situations, and has to decide whether or not she really wants to be part of the Agency. Like I said...filler.
I still want to read the next book, because a lot of series seem to struggle with the dreaded Second Book Syndrome, and a lot of times the 3d book comes back strong. I'm hoping Elle will bounce back, get tough, and find a guy who doesn't make me want to vomit in my mouth.
P.S.
I have no idea why I hated Lyle so much. He was a nice guy who introduced Elle to his mamma, held open the door, and pulled out her chair for her. What's wrong with me?!

Follow the freshly graduated Elle Paquet as she embarks on 'adult' life. The self-confessed geek has a lot to learn... with a new job as a CIA information scientist, new places to live, and a new dating scene to explore... but she is very excited about what her newfound independence will bring...
Hmm, well this one has me scratching my head. Covert Interview is marketed as 'New Adult' and I do think it is a book I would have really enjoyed in my teens so that's fair enough. But, well I just felt so deflated after reading this!
Ok don't get me wrong - it has the makings for a really good story. It really started building up and a few of those elements that I just thrive on - mystery, suspense, excitement - started to poke their heads around the page with promises of great rewards....and then...and then...well, and then I read two words - The End. What?!! Are you kidding? What the heck was that?! Did I miss something?? NOTHING happened!!
Ok, ok I know this is part of a series - and admittedly I haven't read the first (this keeps happening to me!) so I cant compare it. But even so, this was most certainly not a stand-alone,(I hadn't realised it was a sequel, and I really ought to have read the first prior) nor could it be considered as a good instalment, it was more just a really long intro to what I hope will be a much better third instalment.
Its a shame and it does pain me to be so negative about this book, because aside from a couple of issues - like whole sentences or paragraphs paraphrased in quite quick succession; or the lead character disturbingly using the same metaphors during discussions with her father about life that she uses during flirty foreplay with her lover - yes aside from those things, I was actually really enjoying the story until I found that I was already at the end of the book and...well I really mean a whole load of nothing happened!
Admittedly I am relatively new to the whole new adult/young adult thing - so maybe I'm expecting too much - At 30 I suppose I'm not really the target audience :-( And I must confess I will read the next one in the series, because I want my reward!!
My thanks to the author for sending this book for review.

Like any series, this book served its purpose in following up the preceding story and prepares us for the upcoming stories. I did not read this book thinking that it felt like filler. It was still a fun story and it was nice to hear about Elle again.
Elle is back on the case and working hard. She is developing relationships with friends and family and learning more about herself. Her growth is setting up quite a bit for the next book. This book is integral in the series and I am thrilled that it was written this way.
This was a smartly written book that allows the reader to follow the information in an exciting and challenging way. I look forward to the rest of the series.
I give this book 3 stars

Favorite Character: Elle.
First Line:
“Michael Kagan was a man who pretty much got anything he wanted.”
My Musings: Covert Interview is the second novel in the Covert series. With this novel, Elle begins her job at the CIA with a 90 day probationary period. But she soon finds that working for the CIA isn’t all that it appeared to be. She’s asked to do some tough things, and she has to figure out whether or not she can go against her morals and beliefs to do what has been asked of her. Throw in some relationship drama and a potential evil villain, and you’ve got yourself a great read!
Elle really grew up in this novel. The transition from college life to adult life was the main focus of this novel. It was interesting to see her adapt to it and to find time for her friends, family, work, relationships, and the secrets that came with working for the CIA. There were definitely some shockers that came in this story, ones that left me with that idiotic ‘WTF’ face that no one should ever see. But Elle took it in stride and kept going on with her life. She really became more of an independent woman in this novel, and got to the point where she even stood up to the CIA while in her probationary period. It just showed just how strong of a character she had grown to be.
The plot in this novel was as exciting and as believable as the last. Although it is a spy book, of which you don’t see too much, much less this believable, it was so well written that it didn’t seem fictional. On top of that, Elle has to face some tough decisions that test her loyalty to the Agency as well as to her family and friends. And of course, there’s the added bit of danger in there when people start questioning Elle and what exactly she is and who she works for. All of the action and danger didn’t amount to as much as there was in book one, but it was just right for this novel. Missy perfectly balanced all aspects of this novel.
Covert Interview was a great installment to this series. Although it was more of a bridge between books one, and I’m assuming, book three, it was entertaining none the less. Filled with tough decisions, tests, romance drama, and a touch of danger, Covert Interview was an exceptional novel, and I can’t wait to see what Missy brings for us next.

Book Review- Covert Interview by Missy Marciassa
Elle is back and getting ready to start her new job with the CIA as an analyst. At least she thought so until her first day is spent being interviewed for hours and then sent back to her hotel with a “we’ll let you know”. She is confused and frustrated with the situation and the man who administered the test, Mason. He showed no emotion and was extremely distance and cold.
Once she finally gets the go ahead to start her job, she is put on a ninety day probation. She won’t be working out of headquarters with the other analysts. She will be spending her time between three places; Norfolk, Charlotte, and D.C. She is given a cover which she is working in university libraries for the Library of Congress. So she has to find a place to live in each of these places. She finds her own apartment in Norfolk, but is excited to be able to live with Marni in Charlotte. She is happy to be on her own and finally an adult.
Of course nothing goes as she thinks it will. Her relationship with Preston doesn’t go as she hopes. She is asked to go into the field and she is uneasy about the assignment. When she follows through, she is shocked at what results. She is thrown in the middle of more dangerous situations that she isn’t trained to handle. Her handler, Mason, is not a lot of help. Elle questions whether the CIA is worth it.
This the second book in the series. I loved the first book where Elle was approached by the CIA and she was on her way up to a new exciting life. So she thinks. This book is where she is hit by reality. This is where she has to dig deep to find her strength. The situations that the author creates for her are difficult and she has to find her way through to the other side. I really like how the character evolved. She came through her fear, anger and frustration a better person. Of course I’m not sure I wouldn’t have punched her handler. Mason was a big time jerk. Not sure I would have stuck with it like she did. I give it a 4 out of 5.

I begged Missy who probably thinks I'm a little crazy by now to get an ARC of Covert Interview in exchange for a review. Lucky for me she agreed! She warned me this book was a little different from what I might expect.
She Was Not Kidding.
I loved seeing Elle start working for the CIA. It reminded me of what it's really like to get your first job, deal with unreasonable bosses, and what it's like to get your first apartment (I was also shocked by how much furniture costs!), even though I definitely do not work for the CIA.
I also LOVED seeing Elle start to transform by dumping the glasses, getting her hair looking good: Go Elle! Her transformation came about due to a heartbreak, though (the spoiler above) and honestly, I didn't know how to take that. I realized: I'm not used to seeing it. At all.
My first thought was maybe this is a little bit too much like real life? Yet watching Elle come back even *stronger* Made My Day. While I don't like reading sad books, this book was uplifting by the end (the speed dating had me LOLing) and now I CAN NOT WAIT to see Elle as a field rated agent in book 3! Missy was nice enough to send me a rough draft of the back cover copy for book 3 which she says will be posted here at GR soon and I will be begging/stalking/pleading for another ARC or buying it the day it comes out.
I was torn between 4 and 5 stars. I wish I could give 4.5 stars! I realized my problem was the big surprise, I just did NOT see it coming, but as I've had some time to think about it, this book kept me engaged, entertained, and I can't WAIT to see what happens next, so I decided to round up to a 5 rather than down to a 4.

Orginally review at http://myspinonbooks.blogspot.com/201... Thanks Netgally & Missy Marciassa!
I loved Covet Assignment and reading Covert Interview was no different. What I loved about this book we got to see a stronger side to Elle who is no longer relying on others to keep her safe which is great. Preston shows Elle what a fling exactly is & takes off on an assignment to who-knows-where doing who-knows-what.
Elle is now a CIA analyst on a 90 day probation period and isn't working out at Langley. Instead her cover is that she works for the Library of Congress helping Univeristy Libraries in D.C, Norfolk and Charlotte. The great thing for Elle is that she is dong something she loves whilst still doing data analyst things for the CIA. In Norfolk she meets a JAG lawyer Lyle in speed dating (yea I know) and sparks up at relationship with him when she is in Norfolk because her fling with Preston is over (I am not happy about this).
With only a few people knowing that she actually works for the CIA, she has to make sure that what she says stays hidden & safe. When a mission hits close to home for Elle she has to decided whether or not that this is the right job for her, making her second guess everything.
The opening scene really sets the tone of the work with analyst Elle being targeted like she was a field operative she wants what is best for her & her safety. I loved seeing Elle grow as a character and trying new things (i.e. speed dating) it was also great to see how well she bounced back from heartbreaking decisions. The ending made me really excited for the next Covert book: Covert Cover Cracked!
Thanks Netgally & Missy Marciassa!
Rating: 4 to 5/5

I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a transitional book, in my opinion. Which is pretty appropriate since it follows Elle's 90 day probationary period with the CIA. A lot happens in this book but it left me unsatisfied on the whole because of its transition status. Elle finds a way to stay close with her friends, has a few actual conversations with her parents, ventures further down the path of sexual discovery and realizes just how frustrating "need to know" veils truly are.
I am excited about the next book in the series. I am thrilled about where it is headed and after knowing that direction, I can fully appreciate the value of this book because the character would never be taking her next steps unless events in this books had precipitated them. She needed the crash course in the reality of the real world and she needed to continue the development of her spine that began in the first book.
One thing I will note about the author is that I really like how she is able to make the plot believable. It is a spy book so that isn't entirely practical, but she is able to lay things out in a manner that make sense. She provides details where needed so the reader can work out justifications before they become those annoying red flags.

This is the second part of the story and I like it more than the first one.
Elle is graduated and she decided she wants to be a CIA analyst. Now she has a ninety day probation to prove what she is. What she would be never expected is to be a spy again. She is an analyst, but has to work on the field. This time will be different and complicated because she will have to spy her father. Well, his office.
Her story with Preston, a fling for her, ended because he has an assignment. Now there is Lyle, a member of the JAG, a southern guy.
Elle's assignment on the field is more dangerous for her and for her best friend.
Will Elle be a CIA analyst at the end of the probation period?
The story is well written and there is more action than the first book, and I liked it. Elle is an adult woman and her family is still like the family in the first book, but the relationship with her mother seems changed.
Elle is independent and strong woman.
Now there is less romance and more action, but the romance part is still present.

3.5 Stars.
I won this series months ago but it has taken me forever to finally get round to reading them, and now I am binge reading them all in one go.
This continues where Covert Assignment ended, with Elle still going through the agency recruitment process, and finally moving on with her life post college.
I loved her relationship with Preston (well, if you could call it that) though my heart broke for her at times.
I still don't like her parents. What a bunch of selfish, horrible "parents" they are. Even when things happen to them, I cannot find myself feeling sorry for them or liking them.
Things with the CIA stuff ramped up a lot in this second book, and I really liked the way Elle ended this book.
Do have a soft spot for Mason - you can kind of feel that he wants to tell her things that he can't.
Now onto book 3!!

So I was going to resist buy this series until I read other books I've had on hold, but when I saw that I own the third one I had to get the second one to find out what Elle will do next. And I'm so glad I did because I loved reading this book!
I would never have imagined using a "library" science degree with the CIA, but then again I'm not involved in technological work as Elle is since this is the 21st century version of a library science degree. But that would be badass if I could work for the CIA having a MLIS!
Even though Elle and Preston have separated ways, I can see him coming back into the third novel and causing all sorts of trouble with Elle's feelings. And I don't think that he is as cold and made of stone as Elle thinks right now.
Now I'm going to dive into the 3rd novel to see what happens!

Courtney's take: After having a strong start in the first book of this series, we were excited to read this one. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the expectation that we had placed upon it, and we did not finish it. Shelley's take: The writing was overly explained in areas and could use some good editing. The plot moved a little slowly in some places and confusing in others.
Did a good job of reminding of old characters and plot without bogging down in details. Basically, this could've been a novella length book as it appears to be a bridge between books 1 and 3.

I loved the first book, covert assignment. This one was equally good. I was surprised by a couple of elements that changed but it was still good. I loved meeting her roommates more. And hearing about the CIA. Allot of action in this book. I can't wait for the next one in the series. That one will have more kick butt in it. I would recommend the book to anyone.

The book was cool. I think Elle's parents suck. She should just not talk to them. They treat her like a distant cousin you check up on from time to time. But you don't invite them over or tell them where you live. I hope she finds what she couldn't with her family.

Great followup to the first book. I enjoyed reading more about Elle and her friends
