Summary
Assassins are hunting the daughter of the Prime Minister。。。 How long will she hide before it’s time to fight back？ Gray Langtry is on the run。 As the only child of the British Prime Minister， Gray’s life has been in turmoil ever since her mother was chosen to lead the country。 Both she and her mother are targets of a Russian assassination plot。 And what’s worse， members of her mother’s own cabinet are involved。 A team of bodyguards never leaves her side。 The press attention is relentless。 And then there are the death threats。 Now， after an attempt on Gray’s life， she has been moved to an elite boarding school in the British countryside。 Shielded by high walls and locked gates， Gray finally feels safe， but the plotters are still hunting， and soon they will find her。 Gray’s personal bodyguard， Julia， and the school’s young headmistress are determined to protect her。 They both know how dangerous things are。 The assassins searching for Gray are highly trained。 And when they arrive they will aim to kill。 Dylan， a mysterious American student， seems to know more than he should – but he’s always there when Gray needs him。 Can she trust him？ Can she trust anyone？ As winter closes in and darkness falls， Gray will have to think fast。 The hunters are coming。

I got into CJ Daugherty's books while reading the Harper McClain mysteries （excellent， by the way！）。 Number 10 was the first YA book I'd read from Daugherty， and I've been waiting eagerly for the sequel since I binge-read Number 10 in one weekend。 Codename Firefly does not disappoint！ This time around， I needed to experience it through Audible books， as I have a long commute to work。 I've never been so happy to sit in traffic。 I must be an old romantic because my favorite parts were Gray's swoon I got into CJ Daugherty's books while reading the Harper McClain mysteries （excellent， by the way！）。 Number 10 was the first YA book I'd read from Daugherty， and I've been waiting eagerly for the sequel since I binge-read Number 10 in one weekend。 Codename Firefly does not disappoint！ This time around， I needed to experience it through Audible books， as I have a long commute to work。 I've never been so happy to sit in traffic。 I must be an old romantic because my favorite parts were Gray's swoon-tense scenes with Dillon。 If you or your teen haven't read CJ Daugherty yet， you absolutely should。 。。。more

If you are familiar with C。J。 Daugherty's books then you will know that she has a knack of writing engaging and thoroughly enjoyable YA fiction。 Her new Number 10 series is set in the same world as her Night School books， and the first book Number 10 introduced us to Prime Minister Jessica Langtry and her teenage daughter Gray。 The second book in the series， Codename Firefly， goes a step further towards the Night School series， because in this book Gray finds herself as pupil at the exclusive Ci If you are familiar with C。J。 Daugherty's books then you will know that she has a knack of writing engaging and thoroughly enjoyable YA fiction。 Her new Number 10 series is set in the same world as her Night School books， and the first book Number 10 introduced us to Prime Minister Jessica Langtry and her teenage daughter Gray。 The second book in the series， Codename Firefly， goes a step further towards the Night School series， because in this book Gray finds herself as pupil at the exclusive Cimmeria Academy - which features in the Night School books。Since Gray's mother became Prime Minister both of their lives have changed enormously， with their every move the subject of close scrutiny by the media， but it has also put them in danger by making them the targets of a Russian assassination plot。 In an effort to provide some protection for Gray， she has been enrolled in the elite boarding school Cimmeria Academy， where her parents and security team believe she will be away from the prying eyes of the press and the chance that those with sinister intent will be able to get anywhere near her again。 Of course， she has her own team of body guards on hand to make sure she remains safe behind the high walls of the Academy too， and they will be keeping an eye on her using her unique codename Firefly。Gray starts to feel safe for the first time in many months， settling into school life， coming to terms with the events of Number 10， and making friends among the kind of students that know only too well what it means to live a high profile life。 She also finds herself becoming close to an American student called Dylan， but she is really not sure whether she can trust him as he seems to know more than a bit too much about her and why she is here。Unfortunately， it's not long before Gray's peace is shattered when Russian spies discover where she is laying low， and send a team of masked men to abduct her。 Her security team manage to thwart their efforts more than once， but this is a foe determined to succeed。 The constant feeling of danger is very unsettling and although she tries to carry on with the routine of school life， it is proving impossible to ignore the fact that her life is in danger once more。 As the dark nights close in， Gray must learn how to protect herself from attack - especially since someone on the inside is helping the Russians in their deadly pursuit。My favourite thing about these books is the way they make both domestic and world politics so accessible to a younger audience， and their success lies in the way this is done through the eyes of a teen herself， combining her very typical hopes， dreams， likes， dislikes and anxieties with real world danger and intrigue in the upper echelons of Downing Street， Whitehall and beyond。 Gray herself is a lovely character， at times brave and bold， and at others shy and fearful - forming a very realistic mix of traits in any teenage girl trying to find her identity and forge a path in the world， which makes her highly relatable to teenage readers。 In this second book， we get to see Gray making friends in a school environment， albeit a rather select set of classmates， bringing an a big dollop of threads in the coming of age vein， and we also get an intriguing glimpse behind the faces of her security team， which broadens the range of themes explored in the story nicely。I can't go into too much in the way of detail without giving the game away， but this is so much more than a tale of teenage angst。 There is plenty here to get readers of all ages perching on the edge of their seats， with gripping storylines that include elements of danger， conspiracy and mystery - all of which provide wide appeal and actually make these great books for you to read alongside your teens。 The way Daugherty touches on many topical issues around relationships， divorce， sexuality， mental health and of course politics in an age appropriate way （perfect for readers aged 13 and up）， incorporating them into a cracking page turner， gives plenty of opportunity to talk freely about subjects which might not always trip off the tongue too - a little school librarian tip for you there folks！Back to school time seems like the best time to think about choosing some great new books for your teen readers， and I can highly recommend any of C。J。 Daugherty's books as ones sure to please the most picky among them - but I am going to give a little extra shout for the Number 10 books too， because this is shaping up to be an absolute cracker of a series。 I am really looking forward to the next one！ 。。。more

This is book two in the series and I confess that I haven't read the first one。 However it doesn't matter at all as there is enough back story mentioned that you can easily follow the story。 Plus it is a good one that had me intrigued as to who was on Gray's side and who is trying to get her captured/ injured。 Makes for an engaging read about life in a boarding school。 But also for the relationships between the teenagers。 This is book two in the series and I confess that I haven't read the first one。 However it doesn't matter at all as there is enough back story mentioned that you can easily follow the story。 Plus it is a good one that had me intrigued as to who was on Gray's side and who is trying to get her captured/ injured。 Makes for an engaging read about life in a boarding school。 But also for the relationships between the teenagers。 。。。more

Unless it’s fantasy， I don’t usually read much YA novels， but last year I took part in the blog tour for Number 10， the first book of this wonderful series， initially simply because I love the author’s adult novels （written under the name Christi Daugherty）。 As I expected， I also enjoyed her YA novel， so when I was asked if I wanted to take part in the blog tour for the sequel， Codename Firefly， I didn’t think twice before gladly accepting。The protagonist of this series is Gray Langtry。 She is a Unless it’s fantasy， I don’t usually read much YA novels， but last year I took part in the blog tour for Number 10， the first book of this wonderful series， initially simply because I love the author’s adult novels （written under the name Christi Daugherty）。 As I expected， I also enjoyed her YA novel， so when I was asked if I wanted to take part in the blog tour for the sequel， Codename Firefly， I didn’t think twice before gladly accepting。The protagonist of this series is Gray Langtry。 She is a sixteen-year-old girl， but she is not any normal girl。 She is the only daughter of England’s Prime Minister。 In Number 10， she barely survived a terrorist attack so now she is attending Cimmeria Academy where it is believed she will be safe。 However， a terrorist group is still after her to get to her mother and they are ready to do anything to get their hands on her。 The security at the school is high and Gray’s own bodyguards are more than capable， so how do intruders keep getting into the school？Gray is a fantastic well-drawn character and I really like her。 She wishes for a normal life of school and going out with friends， but， as the Prime Minister’s daughter， she knows she will never have one。 She is struggling with her fears following the events in Number 10， however she’s is determined to not let the bad guys win。 So， after a slightly rough beginning at Cimmeria Academy， we see Gray make a few friends， make an enemy out of the most popular student， growing a crush on another student， sneak out of the school in the middle of the night for a small adventure… essentially trying to have a kind of regular life， even if this means having a team of bodyguards around her。The story is intriguing and suspenseful， and I love the English college life with which I fell in love when I was younger and reading Harry Potter （although here there are dangerous men with guns and knives and not wands）。 I really enjoyed Codename Firefly and I am already looking forward to the sequel to see what happens next。 。。。more
