The Crossing: Book Review and GIVEAWAY

Check out my review and find out how you can WIN a copy of this Christian novel by Serita Jakes

For ten years, Casio Hightower and Claudia Campbell have been living with the trauma from the night of their high school football game when a gunman opened fire on the team bus, killing the cheerleading coach BJ Remington and wounding star football player Casio. But when Claudia's assistant district attorney husband reopens the murder case, Claudia is forced to relive the tragic loss of her close friend and Casio the loss of his dream to play college football. As they reopen old wounds and uncover secrets many in their small town thought had been long buried, their relationships with those closest to them begin to fall apart. Their only hope seems to lie in finally finding the killer so they can put this all behind them.

Dealing with very real-life issues such as domestic violence, adultery, murder, PTSD, and sexual, adult themes make this a thrilling crime novel. And although the genre is clearly Christian, it is fair to say these topics - although not handled gratuitously - are very raw and very adult in nature. At times the story seems to take a quite predictable path, but just when you think you have it all figured out, you hit an unexpected turn of events. This one will have you deeply sympathizing with the characters and will keep you guessing to the very end. A definite must-read!
