Summary: Alias Fun
Review: As a big Alias fan, I thought this was a fun little read, seeing what the unsinkable Sydney was like back before the TV series started. Better writing than I had expected from a novelization.

Summary: Keep 'em coming.
Review: As a hopelessly devoted "Alias" fan, OF COURSE I'm going to buy all the Alias merch I can get my greedy little hands on. Laura Peyton Roberts is quickly becoming my favorite Prequel author, but I'll reserve further judgement for the Michael Vaughn novels (they feature different authors than Sydney's). I love the situations Roberts puts Sydney in... and gets her out of. It's amazing what kind of situations you can put a secret agent through if you have a big enough imagination and let your pen do the talking. Of course, I screamed when she and Noah finally hooked up. In the show, Noah came off as kind of dry, but through the books, he's starting to grow on me. I can't wait to see how the Syd/Noah thing ends.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Danger in the Sun
Review: At first, Sydney is sure her boss at SD-6 is joking. But Wilson was serious when he tells her to join the sorority Alpha Kappa Chi. Seems that Jen, one of the sisters, was also an SD-6 agent, and she recently died under suspicious circumstances. With Francie in tow, Syd heads out to try to get in at this late date. Soon, both girls are the newest members and headed on their trip to Hawaii, where Syd has a two-fold mission. She must find out what happened to Jen and carry out Jen's mission, retrieving an atomic bomb trigger prototype that was sent to the bottom during the Pearl Harbor attack of World War II. Can Syd complete her mission safely without blowing her cover with Francie?

Overall, the plot of this novel was fairly easy to guess. I had most of it figured out long before Sydney did. However, that didn't stop me from enjoying it. Francie gets a much bigger part, and it's nice to see more of her. And watching Syd try to maintain her cover added another layer of excitement. Frankly, I'm also enjoying the love triangle that is building with Noah and Burke.

Like the others, this is a fast read that will appeal to fans of the TV show.

Summary: Only Good For Fans of the TV Show
Review: I think that the fourth entry in the Alias series was the worst, although it wasn't bad. The story line slow and it was obvious who the "other spy" was halfway through the book. To sum things up, this could have been better- hopefully Laura Payton Roberts will be able to make sure their next entries in the series will be up to par since they have the next two books off, due to them being based on another character.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good story with an interesting twist
Review: Sister Spy is about Sydney's mission to join the Alpha Kappa Chi sorority at UCLA. At first, this seems to be an interesting and challenging mission for Sydney. She is not the type to hang out with sorority girls and fraternity guys. In fact, she hates the whole college party scene. As part of her mission, she learns of another college student at UCLA who was an undercover agent for SD-6. The girl recently died of natural causes. Sydney feels some sort of bond with the girl which helps her through the mission. It is Sydney's job to join the sorority, find out what happened to the girl and find out who could have possibly killed her. Sydney has do to all this without telling her best friend and roommate, Francie, about her real intentions. Sydney and Francie check out Alpha Kappa Chi together and even go on a trip with the sisters to Hawaii. Sydney focuses her attention on the murderer and attempts to perform a mission while in Hawaii. Just when you think you have the story figured out, there is a big twist.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best yet in the series.
Review: This book is really well written. It's a great read for teenage girls and anyone who loves the TV show Alias that the novels are based on. For an avid adult reader, this book can be finished in one sitting.

Unlike the last installments where half the book is Sydney's adjustment to college life and the next part is the mission she goes on, this book is one seamless story -- which is because it revolves around a sorority from her college and the trip to Hawaii they go on. I never pledged a sorority, never went to Hawaii, and never went skin diving; I enjoyed reading about Sydney doing all these things.
