Review

This is a sequel to Pretty crooked (Pretty crooked trilogy). Pretty Sly starts with Willa having just been released from juvie for stealing from the rich, mean kids. She comes home and finds that Mom has left. Email follows saying don't try to find me, and then the adventure begins. Willa and Aidan (with help from some friends) start a multi-state search for Mom...with bad guys, and the police and FBI, following closely behind.

Not having read book one, a bit of a slow start, but once you get into the book, you get hooked, suspense, mystery, adventure with just a touch of romance. Probably more of a girl book than boy, but not so gushy that a boy wouldn't enjoy.

Overall Book Score: very good
