Lynn Braden

Nadia Riley has just suffered through an embarrassing break up with her boyfriend, so when the offer to go to Desert Mountain Academy comes, she can't say yes fast enough. It isn't until after she arrives at the academy that she finds out that it is a training facility for future Black Ops operatives for the CIA. She meets the three other members of her team and their leader, Jack, for whom Nadia feels an immediate attraction. Little does she know that Jack has been assigned to investigate the possibility that she is a double agent. When the team finds out that the girl who Nadia replaced was murdered, they all start to suspect one another of being the double agent.

Told from different perspectives in each chapter, Desert Dark provides the reader with fully developed characters and different perspectives for each event that occurs in the story. Although some of the story is a bit predictable and far-fetched, it is well written and very entertaining with believable, young adult dialogue. Overall, a fun, fast paced, young adult spy tale.
