Many thanks to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Landmark, RB Media/Recorded Books for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest historical fiction book by Kristina McMorris, wonderfully narrated by Cassandra Campbell - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Fenna survived a disaster growing up in copper country in Upper Michigan, saved by her best friend, Arie. Her love of magic took her to be the brains behind a magician show. It was there where she was noticed by an MI9 agent and approached to help the war effort by creating devices to help those behind enemy lines during WWII. However, her loyalty and subterfuge are tested when Arie could be in harm's way.
This was yet another unheard story of brave Americans helping the war effort in ways we couldn't imagine. It was so interesting to read and hear about all the devices that were created to hide things and people from the enemy as well as keep troops safe and in better spirits (hot soup!). This was the beginnings of Q of James Bond fame. As with so many historical fiction books, this one will educate you with disasters in our own country that may be unknown as well as events taking place across the world. Fenna was such a loyal, strong, resilient character. I felt this book was maybe a tad too long and it jumped around a bit from current events to Fenna's past but was another winner from this author. The audiobook even includes recipes!
