Double Cross by James David Jordan

My sister read this book and agreed to review it for me:

I enjoyed this and thought it was a good sequel to Forsaken. Taylor is a very strong person but she also has quite a few issues, so it's interesting to see how she handles things that come her way. The relationship between Taylor and her mother was quite interesting because her mother is quite a character.

It's a fairly confronting read. Some warnings are: 1. Someone commits suicide, 2. There's talk about a prostitution ring, 3. There's a bit of a gruesome scene involving someone's leg and an animal trap.



Raised by a father who was a former Special Forces officer, Taylor is beautiful and brilliant and knows how to take care of herself. But she is haunted by her past and the sacrifice her father made to save her from a brutal rape when she was seventeen.

After a controversial stint in the Secret Service, she has become the most prominent private security specialist in America. When she discovers the body of a former client's top assistant, all the evidence points to embezzlement and suicide.

But Taylor has no way of knowing that her mother, who ran out when Taylor was nine, is about to reappear and lead her down a twisting path of danger and deceit. It's a road that won't end until they reach the spot where Taylor's father died--where Taylor learns some sacrifices can never be earned. (from christianbook.com)
