''All My Secrets'' was hard to put down. Packed with action, I read the book cover to cover in single day. In many respects, it reminds me of the type of action adventure stories that are more usually aimed at teenage boys. This is, however, very much a girl's book. While the focus throughout the book remains on the action-driven mystery plot (which is likely to appeal to readers of both genders), the sub-plot as Evie tries to work out her true feelings for the two boys in the story will, I suspect, only appeal to girls. Indeed, the only minor niggle I have with the book is the resolution of this sub-plot which reads more like a Mills and Boon or Chick-Lit novel. This is, however, a minor point and I can quite see that teenage girls will love the short speech where the boy Evie has decided she really likes declares his feelings for her.
Overall this is an exciting action-packed story that teenage girls will love. Boys, however, might prefer an action adventure with less of a focus on relationships. Perhaps try [[Necropolis (Power of Five) by Anthony Horowitz]] which has a female lead but remains a story that will be enjoyed by girls and boys alike.
