Reviews for Sammy Keyes and the Cold Hard Cash

[mutantpudding · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The money storyline made me uncomfortable and its wildly fatphobic >:(

[rvolenti · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is one of my favorite series! It is suspenseful, funny, interesting, well-written, entertaining, and marvelous! This is definitely a great addition to the series. Everyone should read them.

This is one of my favorite Sammy Keyes books. Some parts were a little slow, but they're made up for by others. Sammy is such an amazing character; she's relatable and not a perfect person. I love the Sammy/Casey interaction, and I absolutely can't wait for the next book! It's too bad that there's only going to be eight more books in the series.
