Nina Croft's The Descartes Legacy

[Eva Millien]

This book is a very intriguing and thrilling read with a touch of science fiction.

Luke spends all his time trying to take down the Conclave, the group of people responsible for the loss of his family.  Jenna was born with a genetic illness and after her father dies she is catapulted into a world of murder and terrorism.  Luke’s need to revenge clashes with his need to protect Jenna and she learns secrets that rock the very foundation of her life.

With action from beginning to end, this story is very engaging with surprising twists that keep the reader guessing. The action scenes are depicted in a well orchestrated and believable way that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. The author has created a world with a well developed plot that is fast paced and entertaining with characters that have strong, captivating personalities that draw the reader deeper into the story.

The story concentrates more on the conflict and suspense more than romance, but the chemistry between the Luke and Jenna is strong and undeniable and the author captures their emotions with clarity. 

While I haven’t found anything that supports that the author is going to make this a series, I certainly believe there will be one. The ending of the book had a conclusion but it strongly suggests more to come and there was several questions and unresolved issues.  I found the book to be an enjoyable read and I will be very disappointed if there is not another book.
