Overall The Descartes Legacy by Nina Croft was a good book. I personally read it in a day.The story revolves around two main characters Luke Grafton who has spent the last ten years hunting the Conclave, a secret organization who took everything from him. He gets a hot lead takes him to London and right to Jenna Young.Jenna was born with a genetic illness, she has always felt different and has kept herself apart from any personal relationships. But the unexpected death of her father catapults her into a world of murder and terrorism she never expected.The book throws a lot of twists and turns in the story which makes it hard to put down. Like my title states it is a thriller. Its fast paced with well developed and likeable main characters. Jenna is a strong female character who needs to uncover the truth of herself that makes her question everything. Luke has a need for revenge but also realizes he still has love inside of him which surprises himself and Jenna since she has always closed herself off from others. Their relationship feels real and develops quickly but realistically.Points that were confusing:British Terminology: Very beginning they were going into the "surgery" - now I am thinking an actually surgery is going on -- then I jumped to that this is a surgery center they were entering then after continuing to read I think they were just talking about his doctors office -- so that was a bit confusing --actually I would say that the entire first chapter was confusing.
