Packed with epic battles and feisty, fun characters!

4.5 stars: This is a fast-paced adventure, packed with epic battles and feisty, fun characters. I hadn’t read the first in the series (The Bastille Spy), but you didn’t need to have read this to enjoy The Scarlet Code. Jemmy is an endearing character and one to root for – his flirty banter with Attica is fun and keeps the book from becoming too bogged down with historical details. It was never once boring or too descriptive, which is something I sometimes find with historical settings. Attica is a feisty lead heroine and is a character to admire! The chapters are nice and short, making it an easy read and very difficult to put down!

I was really impressed, and will be buying the first in the series.
