Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is Travis's point of view from the story, Beautiful Disaster. I found this to be an excellent companion to the original story told by Abby, Travis's love interest. Not very often do we get to read both points of view through a story, but each novel adds a special touch to the events of these two people meeting and falling in love.

You may think why would you want to read a story twice, but even though the events are the same and the dialogue as well, Jamie McGuire was able to place the reader through the eyes and voice of the narrator. As you read Abby's thoughts in Beautiful Disaster, you wonder why Travis made certain choices or reacted a certain way in their relationship. Walking Disaster allows the reader to understand his reason and to empathize with his situation. i found myself teary during parts of Walking Disaster which did not touch my heart in the first book.

I highly recommend reading both stories; possibly back to back. The prologue and epilogue is different in both books, so unless you are person who likes to peak at the end, I recommend grabbing a box of tissues and diving right into the prologue. It explains so much into Travis's character and why I would live to have one of him in my life.

Short novella, but worth reading it.

Double Crossed: A Spies and Thieves Story by Ally Carter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Double Crossed is a crossover of two of Allie Carter's hit series, Heist Society and Gallagher Girls. Two strong teenage "professionals" meet during a elegant party which has gone bad. Macey, a high society CIA-like professional from Gallagher Girls, finds herself a hostage at a elite dinner party with Hale, Kat's friend from Heist Society. While using all their strong skills sets, this groups of teenagers are able to save the evening and prove who the person is behind the crime.

I enjoyed the story, but as on all novellas, it was too short. Allie Carter has included the first few chapters of each series which introduces you to the characters and the story lines. I have not read the Gallagher Girls series, but love the Kat and Hale's story in Heist Society. Even though Allie is ending the Gallagher Girl series, I am looking forward to diving into it while picking up the third book of the Heist Society. I will say, I hope Allie will follow through with the cliffhanger she left off in this book.
