Code Word is the sixth book in the Saint Squad series by Traci Hunter Abramson. Those who are familiar with Abramson’s work will find this book to be more of the same. It is recommended that readers start with the first book in the series as there are a lot of references to characters from past stories.
This book has action, danger, and a dose of romance. The romantic aspects are fairly predictable–as are most romances. The details concerning the various security agencies seem to have more credibility because of the author’s CIA experience.
Many of the main characters are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the book makes references to the religion often. The references seem to flow with the storyline.
Code Word is an easy and fun read. The entire series is entertaining and enjoyable.
