The Spy in 3B is the brand new book by Nana Malone, and it is the start of the Covert Affairs duet.
This is a "spy vs spy" book mixed with romance, a little slow burn, a little neighbors to lovers, and eventually we have a whole lot of steam. And since it is a duet, the book does end in a cliffhanger.
So let's recap the book a bit. We have Lyra who is an agent for The Firm, and one of the rules the organization has is that the agents must be in relationships. Now of course they cannot tell their partner what they really do for work, so to the average person, Lyra works for a PR company. She's signed up on a dating app, and she's been matched with a man she's not so certain of. But he also happens to live across the hall. Meanwhile Marcus is an agent for Exodus, but most people think he is a video game developer, and Exodus has a similar rule regarding agents being in relationships. Which makes sense as we learn these two organizations used to be one. Anyways these two start dating, but with each date a situation arises where the date has to come to an abrupt end. Flash forward a little bit, and while Lyra and Marcus are on "date" they are also both working. They both hear from their respective teams that the other organization is onsite and to be aware of the situation. Lyra and Marcus have no clue that they work for opposing companies. That is until a later mission.
I freaking LOVED The Spy in 3B. I did. I kept wondering when Lyra and Marcus would figure out the other's true job, and how that would all play out. Since there was some slow burn going on, I also was wondering when the steam would kick in. But once it did, it didn't really stop. Marcus and Lyra are both fantastic characters. I am intrigued by them, and I'd love to know more about their history with the companies. But I highly doubt I'll get a prequel, so I'll just have to make up the backstory. I am finding myself curious about Rhodes, Addie, Roz, and Tyler too. So I wonder if any of them will ever get their stories told. Or maybe I should peruse Nana Malone's backlist to see if there is something about these fabulous side characters.
I cannot wait to see what happens in The Assassin in 5F. I have a feeling it is going to be epic. I did a quick search, and it looks like The Assassin in 5F is coming in July. So my wait won't be too long.
I highly recommend The Spy in 3B! It's so good. Please go purchase it from Kobo. I really think you'll enjoy it. (and yes, this is a Kobo original, so that is the only place you'll find it.)
Thank you for reading my thoughts,
It's hard to fill out a dating profile when everything you write is a lie.
But in her line of work, Lyra can't exactly tell the truth.
And she's determined to get over the man who broke her heart by moving on, so here she is, lying on a dating app.
Then again, so is he.
Lyra is no marketing consultant, but a plucky undercover operator.
Marcus isn't really a videogame designer, but he is obsessive over codes.
Both of them are elite undercover agents, and unknown to each other, are each tracking down the same dangerous double agent.
As the case heats up, so does their chemistry...but their mutual desire to come clean becomes more impossible with every lie.
