Title: No Test For the Wicked
Author: Julie Moffett
Review: I met Lexi when I read No one Lives Twice and
fell in love with the geek girl who couldn’t seem to figure out how to be
social but she knows her computers. The most recent book No test For the Wicked
Follows Lexi to the one place most geeks never want to see again High School.
Lexi is
hired by a private high school to figure out who is messing with the schools
computer programs but what started off as a simple tasked turned into
international terrorism and only Lexi and a handful of high schoolers are the
difference between life and death. I can’t wait to see if our terrorist will
make other appearances in the Lexi Carmichael Mysteries because he is
interesting and that is all I am going to say.
Lexi grows
so much in the book and the reader will feel her growing pains but those pains
also make for some laugh-out-loud moments with her best friend Elvis and lack
of clothes. I promise you will laugh so hard tears will be rolling down your
face.
The book covers
bullying once again but this time it was done in the setting of high school
making the story strong and believable. Lexi tries hard to fit in but when also
can’t step aside watching someone get hurt without stopping it. That is why I
think Lexi an amazing female protagonist that girls can look up too.
The author
Julie Moffett keeps the story and relationships advancing forward wondering
where Slash and Lexi will end up later down the road. No Test for the Wicked
kind of reintroduced Elvis to the reader and you watch as he will do anything
for his best friend Lexi.
Another
win for Author Julie Moffett and Lexi readers all over the world.

Why I Read this Title: Sent for an honest review
Synopsis: A Geek's Worst Nightmare: Going Back to High
School
Returning to high school is not something I ever
wanted to do over—it was awful the first time around. So why do I have to go
back as part of a new undercover assignment? Because the universe loves playing
jokes on me, obviously.
I've been ordered to go all 21 Jump Street and track
down the students who are breaking into the computer system, changing grades,
and causing all kinds of havoc. Although I'm not thrilled about my new gig, at
least it gives me something to do other than worry over the fact that I now
have a boyfriend. And no freaking idea what to get him for Christmas.
Or it did give me something else to worry about,
until I stumbled across a more sinister threat. I was shocked to find distinct
traces of a group of international hackers inside the network. Why would
dangerous cyber mercenaries be interested in a high school in the middle of
Washington, D.C.? What exactly have I gotten myself into?
Don't miss Lexi's first case in No One Lives Twice!

Information:
I have always been a romantic at heart. So when I finally decided to
pursue my dream of writing a novel, naturally, it was a romance. I have
published several novels in many genres – historicals, time-travels and
paranormals.
I’m a military brat (Air Force) and have traveled
extensively. My more exciting exploits include attending high school in
Okinawa, Japan (Go, Kubasaki!), backpacking around Europe and Scandanavia for
several months, a year-long college study in Warsaw, Poland and a wonderful trip
to Scotland and Ireland where I fell in love with castle, kilts and brogues.
I have a B.A. in Political Science and Russian
Language from Colorado College and a M.A. in International Affairs from George
Washington University in Washington, D.C. I worked as a correspondent for the
international radio station, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Washington,
D.C. writing hundreds of articles and producing numerous radio programs for
eleven years before "retiring" to be a stay-at-home mom and full-time
writer in 1999.
I speak Russian and Polish (I married a Pole in
1991!) and love reading foreign literature (especially Slavic). I had a
beautiful baby boy named Alexander in 1995. I never knew what joy a child could
bring to my life.
