My Review
5 of 5 Declan's Cross
5 of 5 Declan's Cross
Declan's Cross is an amazing book that left me wanting more. I will say this I wish I had read the previous books so I would know more about the characters but what I did get was great and I look forward to reading the other books. Who doesn't love a good mystery that keeps you on your toes because that is what this book did to me and just when I thought I had everything figured out nope no way it was something different.
Julianne is a Marine Biologist who just had her heart broken. She wants to start somewhere fresh and new so when the opportunity arises for her to go to Ireland she takes it. Only she doesn't know she is in for a world of trouble. When she gets to Ireland she is enjoying the scenery and sense of finality she has until she sees that things are not what she thought they would be and she is soon thrown into a world wind of crap that will change her life forever.
Then we have my favorite two FBI agents Emma Sharpe and Colin Donovan. They are in Ireland on vacation and Colin is trying to decide whether or not he is going to retire from the FBI after his last case almost got him killed. But while in Ireland the agents begin to look for connections between Julianne and a crime that happened ten years ago. An art theft that happened and was never solved. How is all this tied together? Is Julianne a link to the old case or is she a new link?
This is such an intriguing story that I need more. I loved every minute of it and I can't wait to read the first three books to get a better grasp on all the characters.
