Cross Shadow | Book Review + Giveaway

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 situationand 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

A thrilling sequel to A Cross to Kill, Cross Shadow proves to be just as addicting to read.

Life has not been a simple happily-ever-after for ex-CIA assassin turned small-town pastor John Cross and journalist Christine Lewis since the events of the previous book, sparking questions of the practicality of their relationship. Of course, to complicate matters, the pair quickly becomes pulled into another dangerous scenario, and their story takes off from there.

Once again, Andrew Huff composes his Shepherd Suspense novel well. Cross Shadow is action-packed, fast-paced suspense that kept me on my toes, but that suspense blends well with questions of faith and romance, making for a well-rounded, interesting read.


I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
