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.
Book Review:
I was so happy to see Margot get her own story! Plus we get a new series out of it! It's very exciting. But the most exciting thing is that it's written well, and is a book that you would love to own. I love how White is able to write different characters and we get to feel what it's like to be like them, even if it's totally opposite of how we are. I'm sure Margot was tough to write about, given that she thought in numbers and math. While that isn't something I can relate to, I enjoyed her attitude about everything else.
While I still laugh a little over Drakes name (I think duck, not dragon) he really is a wonderful character. The part I enjoyed the most was how he learned to show love towards Margot in a way that she needed to see/feel it. It wasn't how he needed the love shown to him, which is how I think a lot of us try to share love. We try to give love the way we see/feel it.
Anyway, the bad guys are intriguing, the minor characters bring the story to life, and the plot is extremely well written. I will definitely be recommending this to my friends and I will be rereading it again soon. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
