Description

“Fierce and fantastic – a totally different type of heroine who keeps you clinging to the edge of your seat!”

…If a kickass middle-aged bookkeeper got sucked into a spy’s life…

After four uneventful months spent guarding her boss’s eccentric hippie parents on an isolated raincoast commune, bookkeeper-turned-secret-agent Aydan Kelly is beginning to hope mildewed undies will be the only hazard she’ll face.

But some of the blissed-out flower children are not what they seem. Aydan discovers a plot to kill her lovable charges, and in her fight to protect them she unearths the commune’s deepest secret. Suddenly she’s facing dozens of enemies who threaten the lives of all the innocent commune members as well as her own.

She’ll only survive with a little help from her friends…

  • Slow starter but hang in there!

    I really enjoy this series and the characters. This one just started off sooooo slowly and in missing the regulars it just wasn't firing on all cylinders for me, especially with no Kane. I very nearly gave up when I was more than half way through because it just wasn't going anywhere then BANG! All of a sudden it picked up speed and it was great! I'm starting book ten right now. I did have several suspicions about some of the activities that I think even Ayden, as clueless as she can be, still would have picked up on but overall it was an enjoyable read.
  • Totally hooked!

    This series is so fast paced and engrossing that I read all nine in one week. They are sheer entertainment! You get your really good guys and your really bad guys mixing it up with your heroine who became a secret agent in a series of blunders, terrifying circumstances, luck and twisty rationalization! I can hardly wait for the next one to be released!
  • A Wonderful Series!!

    Sky High is the 9th in the Nevery Say Spy Series. After I read the first book, Nevery Say Spy, I was hooked! I read each book in order and loved each and every one of them. The main character, Ayden, is a 46 year old bookkeeper who suddenly finds herself as part of an organization she had no knowledge of and the action just keeps going. If you like women sleuths who kick butt and ooze sarcasm, you will love Ayden too. All the characters are well-defined and the story is a nonstop thrill ride. I have to warn you that if you read the first book, you will want to read all the rest. I read them all in a week. They were just too good to put down! The only downer is that I have to wait for book 10, coming out later in 2015. Diane Henders is definitely on my list of favorite authors!

    A good mix of drama, romance and danger without being too graphic with the violence. I enjoyed the entire series and look forward to #10.
