Three years into the Great War, England’s greatest asset is their intelligence network—field agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack every German telegram. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages. But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, for the first time in her life numbers aren’t enough.
Drake Elton returns wounded from the field, followed by an enemy that just won’t give up. He’s smitten quickly by the too-intelligent Margot, but how to convince a girl who lives entirely in her mind that sometimes life’s answers lie in the heart?
Amidst biological warfare, encrypted letters, and a German spy who wants to destroy not just them, but others they love, Margot and Drake will have to work together to save them all from the very secrets that brought them together.
I’m honestly not sure where to go with this review…I loved this book and I’m having a hard time saying more than that, thats why I’ve been putting it off.
So this book had many surprises. I knew I was gonna love it I couldn’t wait for Margot’s story. And I was hoping we’d get to see Some of the kids from the shadows series. We did and more!!
Am I the only one who did a double take when a certain nurse showed up??? I didn’t catch who she was until Margot was visiting with her and than I had to look up another book to verify.
I was shocked and so excited to see her!! And it started me rereading that series lol
Back to my thoughts. Guys this book was intense at times! More than once a curve was thrown I wasn’t expecting in the least! Be forewarned there will be tears….you may possible ugly cry! I’m almost in tears thinking about one twist in particular..that one was soo hard to handle.
Theres a very good chance you’ll love this book! Its full of mystery adventure and 18( you’ll get it when you read it)
About Roseanna M. White
Roseanna M. White pens her novels beneath her Betsy Ross flag, with her Jane Austen action figure watching over her. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two children, editing and designing, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels and novellas, ranging from biblical fiction to American-set romances to her new British series. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to make their way into her novels…to offset her real life, which is blessedly boring.
Being educated at St. John’s Collete (the Great Books School) taught Roseanna to ask questions, to value conversation, and to never accept the simple answer without exploring it for herself. She and her family make their home in the mountains of West Virginia where she and her husband both grew up. Roseanna is a member of ACFW, a frequent speaker at writers events and also small groups of readers, and an unabashed email addict.
