Shady Cross

Shady Cross has an interesting premise. A low-time criminal is in a car crash and happens upon a big bag with cash. He’s about to celebrate his luck when the phone in the bag starts ringing and he speaks to a young girl, whom he’s never met, who is abducted. Clearly, the bag contains her ransom. Suddenly overtaken by a conscience he decides to deliver the ransom. This, however, turns out not to be easy.

It had a very masculine feel to it. The main characters kept steering into trouble and at some point, as everything was following up in rapid succession I started to loose my interested. This because it was getting more and more unrealistic, almost by the page. Just deliver the ransom already!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
