Right Cross by Andrew Huff

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb: 

First he left the CIA. Then he left pastoral ministry. Now John Cross has been imprisoned in one of Great Britain's most infamous prisons. Has he reached the end of his rope? Or is this another move in a dangerous spy game? Christine Lewis, United News Network's rising star television anchor, is determined to find out. But in her pursuit of answers, Christine finds herself at the center of a cyberterrorist plot to alter the balance of power in the world. From the English coastline to the Rocky Mountains, John must partner with the CIA and MI6 in a race against the clock to stop the threat of nuclear war and save the lives of everyone he holds dear. The concluding story in the Shepherd Suspense trilogy is a globe-trotting, action-packed adventure with threads of biblical truth woven in. Fans of high-octane thrillers will be on the edge of their seats with Right Cross

My Review: 

Right Cross is the third addition from Andrew Huff’s Shepherd Suspense series. It was by far my favorite installment. Even though it is part of a series, I feel that it can be read as stand alone. It is a fast paced book that can be easily read in one sitting. I enjoyed catching up with John Cross and taking this adventure with him. Mr Huff has a way of grabbing a reader’s attention and make them engaged throughout the book.

Right Cross is getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading non stop action and suspense filled mysteries. I hope to read more by Andrew Huff in the future. This one is not one to be missed.

I received a paperback copy of Right Cross from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb: 

After aspiring opera singer Tessa loses her voice in a fire, she needs both a place to heal and a way to keep music in her life. She retreats to her aunt's apple orchard in rural North Carolina to collect folk ballads. But amid the autumn splendor of this isolated Appalachian community, she uncovers an unnerving connection between a murder case and a long-ago disappearance. Tessa gets a glimpse into an almost-forgotten world, encounters a corrupt, small-town political dynasty, and finds superstition and prejudice at every turn.

She's also drawn to Zeke, the handsome but enigmatic orchard caretaker, who shows her that mountain justice is neither impartial nor just. But battling a conspiracy of silence, Tessa isn't sure if she can trust him. Yet somewhere in the mists of the Blue Ridge Mountains, evil lurks, and a killer is determined to keep the past where it belongs--dead and buried.

The author does a great job creating a fabulous piece of suspense filled mystery. I could not put it down until I had finished the whole book in one sitting. It was very good. I enjoyed getting to know Tessa and loved the beautiful community she visits. Her and Zeke has undeniable chemistry.

Blog Tour: A Cross to Kill by Andrew Huff

A Cross to Kill by Andrew Huff

Blurb: 

A gripping debut thriller pits a man of God against terrorists--and his own deadly past

John Cross is a small-town pastor, bent on leading his flock to follow God's calling. He's not the sort of man one would expect to have a checkered past.

But the truth is that the man behind the pulpit preaching to his sheep was once a wolf--an assassin for the CIA. When John decided to follow Christ, he put that work behind him, determined to do penance for all the lives he took. He vowed never to kill again.
Now someone wants the peaceful pastor to pay for his sins with his own life. And when a terrorist out for revenge walks into the church, John's secrets are laid bare. Confronted with his past, he must face his demons and discover whether a man can truly change. Can he keep his vow--even when the people he loves are in mortal danger? Will his congregation and the brave woman he's learning to care for be caught in the cross fire? In the end, John's life may be the only sacrifice he has left to offer. . .



My Review: 

A Cross to Kill is a great start to Andrew Huff’s series, Shepherd Suspense. I have not read anything by this author before and it will not be the last. I found the writing to be refreshingly unique. The story is full of non stop action and adventure. The twists and turns to the suspense kept me reading on. There are, also, some scenes that made me giggle.
I am giving A Cross to Kill four and a half stars. I look forward to the next installment from Shepherd Suspense series.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
