Hm... so what were you wanting? ;)<br /><br />@Stephanie... LOL! Perhaps that is planned as a sequel! Teen years: how to spy on your kids. ;D<br /><br />@Jenny... I think that was also in my mind w/ the pink cover. Probably why I kept thinking YA. <br /><br />@Alyssa... I kept thinking it was until I started reading it. :)Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-78163004841108212912011-07-22T10:32:56.280-06:002011-07-22T10:32:56.280-06:00I thought this was the YA book too!

I like spy novels but if it also takes so long to get to the point of the problem, probably not for me.

I saw the words Original Sin on my blog roll and thought how exciting only to discover that shocking pink cover.
