Still recovering from her troubled past, Farris is no stranger to change. But when the military transfers her father across the country to an experimental aircraft squadron, settling in to a new life is the least of her problems. As a series of apparent computer glitches threaten the security of the fleet and the blame falls on her father, she decides to put her computer skills to use digging up the truth. Soon she's drawn into the perilous world of a hacker who is determined to ground the fleet--at any cost.
When all signs lead to someone close to her as the mastermind, Farris will have to burn more than bridges to get to the truth. She will have to risk her fragile new life to uncover the identity of the cyber criminal before they can escalate from harmless tampering... to all out murder. (Goodreads)
So, this was one of those books that I enjoyed, but it really didn't capture me. You know, the ones that you just don't quite connect with the MC, and the pacing just doesn't quite work for you. I'm more than a little certain this is just me, as I can imagine any kid who grew up on base would enjoy this quite a lot. Just, for me, it didn't hit the right points to make me engrossed. Plus, there was a love triangle and some almost insta-crushing that made me a little less interested. But, Farris was well drawn and I particularly liked her relationship with her dad, which felt comfortable and protective. In the end, this wasn't exactly my type of novel, but I can definitely see others enjoying it.
Have you read this one? Thoughts?
