Nadia Riley rejoins her crew for a second semester at Desert Mountain Academy, although her former classmate Damon has been expelled for his traitorous activities with a rogue special forces group, the Nighthawks. His place is taken by an overly charming Brit named Simon, who has a mission of his own involving a DNA database for CIA agents. Nadia's fastidious roommate, Libby, has her own worries when her father announces his candidacy for president, while übernerd Alan struggles with his own ethical dilemma. Then Damon shows up in crisis mode: his mother's been taken hostage. All of these well-orchestrated plot strands eventually gel into a central mystery that questions why Nadia and her classmates were chosen to participate in a training program so riddled with danger and intrigue. It's a thrilling ride, packed with espionage techniques and black ops strategies. As in the series opener, Desert Dark (2016), readers are kept guessing about characters and their true loyalties until the very end. Recommend to fans of spy fiction or anyone looking for a sophisticated page-turner.
Hogwarts meets The Bourne Identity at Desert Mountain Academy, the covert CIA training school where Nadia Riley's harrowing adventures continue
With the trials of her first semester behind her, sixteen-year-old Nadia Riley returns to Desert Mountain Academy—an elite boarding school secretly housing a CIA training facility—to complete her junior year. After uncovering a double agent and neutralizing a threat to national security, keeping up with her coursework and navigating an uncertain romance seems like more than enough drama.
But Nadia's first survival course takes a terrifying turn when she realizes she's being hunted by a familiar foe. The traitor she exposed is after her—because he needs her help, to protect someone he loves. But can she really trust a guy who was once tasked to kill her?
In this heart-pounding sequel to Desert Dark, the stakes get ever higher as Nadia uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy with roots closer to home than she ever could have imagined. Told through the alternate perspectives of a diverse cast of characters, Dark Divide is a fast-paced thriller perfect for fans of Marie Lu's Legend series or James Dashner's Maze Runner trilogy.
