More of a Code name than Draycott Abbey
This book was ok, but it wasn't near as good as I thought it would be.

First, it was more of a Code Name book rather than a Draycott Abbey. For those of you that haven't ready books from each series, the Code Name series tends to be made up of heros with enhanced abilities who are very controlled and ruthless. The heroines vary a bit more, but most tend to be stronger women. Draycott Abbey is a bit softer, and there is more variation between the main characters.

The other thing I didn't like about this book (and many other reviewers have agreed) is how much time (both in terms of actual time and number of pages) the two main characters spent apart. It made it seem a bit rushed when they did get together, and it just didn't quite fall into place for me.

Dakota, our hero in this book, is a bit off for me. I don't know why, he just didn't do it for me. To be honest, all heros in the Code Name books are starting to annoy me. I liked our heroine. I wasn't as crazy about some of the other characters. We see Nicholas, but not his family (we never see his family anymore). We also jump from one character to the other so much that it slows the story down.

Regardless, it was still a decent light read. Just go into it expecting more along the lines of the Code Name series and not Draycott, and I think you will like it. Still, I just wish we had seen more between our two main characters.

Christina Skye good read
Pour your cuppa hot chocolate and put on your Pooh slippers...this is a good, satisfying read that lives up to its press.
