The Code

Rate this book
Look over your shoulder, you’re not alone…

When Nina's disabled grandmother’s insurance company refuses to pay for a recent hospital admission, the determined IT assistant decides she’ll teach them a lesson. Nina hacks their system, steals their data, and demands a ransom. Upon payment, she distributes the money to their customers—people like her grandmother who need it to survive. But not everyone sees her as a modern-day Robin Hood. Despite good intentions, her actions are...well, illegal.

Carter’s life—and career—is built on secrets that haunt him while he sleeps. Carter wants to leave it all behind him, but when his brother asks him to do this job, he can’t say no.

Nina isn’t the only hacker Cater kidnapped, but she is the only one still alive. Now he needs her to get the money back. It should be straightforward—until it isn't.

Developing feelings for the hacker was never part of the plan. Now Carter must choose between Nina and his brother. But Nina is playing her own game—one that will surprise them all.

The Code is a cyber thriller with a hint of romance. If you love fast-paced thrillers like the Night Agent, you’ll love The Code.

excellent

When Nina is kidnapped, she is basically more worried about what is going to happen to her Grandmother than herself. Her Grandmother Lena has looked after Nina since she was a very young child. Lena means everything to her.
Nina pulled off the biggest hack ever and stole money, but not for herself. Now they want it back, and they know she was behind it.
Fast paced action, if you know nothing about hacking or code, it doesn’t matter, you’ll get the gist of it.
I loved it. I received an early eARC of the Novel from the Author, I have also purchased the book.
It definitely has the wow factor.

Nina is in trouble and wanted by a psycho who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. You will be holding your breath time and time again on this ride. This is a non-stop action thriller that sets the pace from the first chapter. The thing I love about Brooke's writing is she doesn't muck around setting the scene, no testing of the waters, just jump in. There is barely a page in this book that lacks action, something is always happening and each chapter leaves you with questions. This is one of my fav books by Brooke, right up there with her amazing JT series. I received an ARC copy for exchange for my review.

Absolutely fantastic story that will keep you intrigued. Nina is not pleased with how the insurance company handled her grandmother’s claim. Will hacking the firm help, who knows. Definitely not as simple as it appears. Danger comes with the attempt. Not to be missed.
