YA
Sixteen-year-old Nadia returns to her top-secret CIA training academy after a traumatic end to the previous semester (Desert Dark). She is quickly caught up in complications involving a former student turned rogue, family secrets, romance, and international intrigue. An exciting sequel with enough cinematic twists and turns (some more believable than others) to keep readers turning pages.

YA
Nadia, a cipher whiz, is recruited to an elite boarding school that turns out to be a CIA training program. Perspectives rotate among various students (and one mysterious agent) as a murder plot unfolds. Despite predictable romantic undertones, the engaging fish-out-of-water setup, fast pace, and strong lead character make this a compulsively readable thriller.
