Summary:
Willa Forsythe is both a violin prodigy and top-notch thief, which makes her the perfect choice for a critical task at the outset of World War I--to secure a crucial cypher key from a famous violinist currently in Wales.
Lukas De Wilde has enjoyed the life of fame he's won--until now, when being recognized nearly gets him killed. Everyone wants the key to his father's work as a cryptologist. And Lukas fears that his mother and sister, who have vanished in the wake of the German invasion of Belgium, will pay the price. The only distraction he finds from his worry is in meeting the intriguing and talented Willa Forsythe.
But danger presses in from every side, and Willa knows what Lukas doesn't--that she must betray him and find the key, or her own family could pay the same price his surely has.
My Thoughts:
When I first ordered this book, I didn't realize it was a sort of sequel to A Name Unknown, which I really enjoyed.
I really like Willa's character. She seems to have a very interesting past. The book does touch lightly on her past, but I would've loved to know more. Whenever a character has an interesting story, I seem to like the character even more. It would've been interesting to know a bit on how she met the people she calls her family.
I wasn't really fond of Lukas, I don't know why, but his character just wasn't that interesting to me. However, I did really like his sister. She was like one of those minor important characters that really stands out from the others.
I would recommend this book to those who like mystery/historical/spy books.
My Rating: 4.5 stars
**I received this book for free to review from Bethany House Publishers. Thank you!!!**
