Summary
"Cross & Crown” by Abigail
Roux is one part “Memento”
and two parts “National
Treasure”. Nick
and Kelley's long distance relationship has had many obstacles, but
never more so than now. Nick's dedication to his job sucks them into
a murder mystery which takes the reader on a tour of American
Revolutionary history. Plot elements such as the amnesiac witness,
the innocent hostage, and the race against time seem overly familiar.
It's a fun romp, but doesn't inspire the same level of devotion I
have for most Abigail
Roux books.
The Sidewinder series is worth reading even at $7 for 207 pages, but it still comes in second to the Cut & Run series. The romance between Nick and Kelley is good, but not as compelling as Ty and Zane. This book won't keep you up all night, and sometimes that's a good thing.
