The Starlet Spy by Rachel Scott McDanielMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Rating 4.5
The Starlet Spy grabbed my attention from the first page and I found myself holding my breath as the story unfolded, trying to discover who can be trusted and who not, especially when one possible character who I wanted to end up with the heroine, was on the list of the possibly untrusted.
I loved being in Sweden. I don’t often, if ever, go there in my book settings.
Amelie was a strong female lead who became one of my favourite characters. I loved being in her head while she had to play this ditzy blond. Her thoughts and how she handled situations made me smile.
One of my favourite books in this series and again showed why the author is climbing higher on my list of favourite authors.
For readers who prefer audiobooks, the narrator was very entertaining and part of the reason why I was so captivated with the story.

About the book:
Hollywood Star Turns Spy
In 1943, Movie producer Henrik Zoltan approaches Amelie Blake under the guise of offering the Hollywood star a leading part in his upcoming film, but he has a more meaningful role in mind. Amelie’s homeland of Sweden declared neutrality in the war, but Stockholm has become the ‘Casablanca of the North.’ When top-secret atomic research goes missing in Sweden, the Allied forces scramble to recover the files before they fall into Nazi hands.
The United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS) needs someone who’s subtle enough to spy on the Swedish elite without triggering suspicion. Who better than the “all beauty, no brains” Scandinavian starlet? Fluent in three languages and possessing a brilliant memory, Amelie loathes being labeled witless but uses the misconception as her disguise. She’s tasked with searching for the crucial files, but Finn Ristaffason keeps getting in her way. Is the charming shipping magnate after the missing research? Or does he have other reasons for showing up at her every turn?
With the Gestapo on her heels, Amelie must rely on her smarts in addition to her acting skills to survive a world of deadly spies and counterspies.
