High school junior Dia Gannon is applying for an internship at Darkly, once a game making enterprise, which has lain dormant since the owner died 39 years ago. Dia is suspicious of the internship announcement, because there’s no hidden clue, message or riddle, which is nothing like the owner Louisiana Veda who did everything mysteriously. Dia receives a letter announcing that she is one of the seven internship winners that have been chosen from across the globe and will be flying to London for the summer to complete the internship with the others. Dia meets Poe, the 17yo French winner, on the flight to London; Poe has a Darkly game inside a briefcase cuffed to his wrist. They meet the five other interns when they arrive at the boat that will take them to the Louisiana Veda factory near Thornwood, England. Dia feels deceptive vibes and she’s worried about what she’s gotten herself into.
I was immediately immersed in the story due to the voice of the main character. Dia is quirky, smart, and tough. The book was extremely interesting and unique and I couldn’t stop reading once I started.
The ethnicity is mixed with characters from around the world.
