Praise for You Don''t Know My Name:
"This is my ideal sort of book, full of tension, action, romance, family issues, and a girl struggling to figure out her identity. Kristen Orlando has created a kickass character-literally!-I was won over instantly. I can''t wait for the sequel!" -Sara Shepard, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Pretty Little Liars series
"Debut author Orlando strikes a fast-paced, flirty, and mostly believable balance between timely teenage conflicts (crippling anxiety, fruitless study sessions, humiliating house parties) and pure peril. This one''s a page-turner, and the unexpectedly catastrophic conclusion-and lingering promise of sweet revenge-suggests Orlando, much like Reagan, is just getting started." -Booklist
"At its core, it is an action-packed novel about searching for oneself in the midst of heavy expectations. The violence is plot-advancing rather than gratuitous, while the main character is a strategizing, brave teen who is attempting to find her way both in the moment and into her own future. A solid addition to high school collections, especially those with patrons who love stories of spy craft and secret identities, with a splash of romance." -School Library Journal
"This action-packed suspense novel is the first in a new series that features a kick-ass female protagonist whose training regimen and smoldering love interest rival that of Divergent''s Tris Prior." -Bookpage
"If you are a fan of Ally Carter''s Gallager Girls or Heist Society, You Don''t Know My Name needs to be on your radar. The protagonist is a strong, likable character and the romance that develops is sweet. Then there is the heart-stopping action and the suspenseful and explosive ending." -Romantic Times Book Review
