Non-Stop Action! Giveaway and Review of 'Cross Shadow' - A Shepherd Suspense Novel 2 - by Andrew Huff
About the Book
About the book: All journalist Christine Lewis wants is the truth. All pastor John Cross wants is to avoid it.
Former CIA agent turned evangelical pastor John Cross is busy caring for
the small community of believers he ministers to in Virginia.
Journalist Christine Lewis is busy with the demand for her talents from
top news agencies in New York City. Neither has any time left for their
relationship, which began eight months before when they paired up to
prevent the detonation of a chemical bomb in the nation's capital.
But when Christine hears that her stepbrother has been arrested for
murder in Texas, they team up again to discover the truth about the
crime. Untangling a web of conspiracy, the couple finds themselves in
the center of another dangerous situation-and in trouble far deeper than
they expected.
With an assassin on the loose, a trusted colleague acting as a double
agent, and unreliable artificial intelligence connected to mercenaries
who have Cross on their hit list, these two may not get out of the Lone
Star State alive.
My review:
What an action-packed story! There were some awesome fight sequences and some amazing car chases! There's a little bit of trouble in paradise as John and Christine seemed to have a hard time trusting each other. John's so used to lying back in his CIA days and it's a hard habit to break, no matter how hard he tried. And if you don't have trust... They also both wondered about where their lives were going. They wanted to do God's will. They both prayed throughout the story. It was interesting watching them investigate and there was a little bit of funny banter. There was a surprise ending so I'll be interested to see where it goes. This worked well as a stand-alone but it was nice to know their back story from the first book, which I also liked. I recommend it if you like suspense!
I received this book free from Kregel Publications and Read with Audra. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own. a Rafflecopter giveaway
