I've just finished Criss Cross by C C Warrens and wow, I'm glad she is a novelist. Her story was down right disturbing at times, but I really enjoyed reading it. Criss Cross is extremely suspenseful with Holly being actively stalked by someone from a past she can't remember. The plot is well thought out and I enjoyed the relationship between all of the characters. I look forward to reading the next book after I recover from this one.
So grab a blnket and your favorite beverage, grab your dog or a taser lol to keep you feeling safe and settle in for a great read.
All thoughts are my own
From Amazon:
Safety is just an illusion...
An illusion shattered by the whisper of footsteps in the darkness behind her.
Holly has drifted from one place to the next for as long as she can remember, never settling long enough to build a life. It's the only way she knows how to survive in a world that has no place for someone like her. But when mysterious footsteps follow her home, and she finds a cryptic note taped to her door, she realizes she's stayed too long.
The man she's hiding from has found her. But how?
When people start dying and old, forgotten memories begin to surface, Holly finds herself wrapped up in a terrifying mystery with God, a pushy Southern detective, and a killer with one thing on his mind: her.
“I think that Holly might be my very favorite character that I've ever read! I love her! I laughed out loud, shook with terror, and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to see what happened next. So good!” –Amazon reviewer.
“The book is full of edge-of-your-seat, hold-your-breath suspense.” –Amazon reviewer.
Jesus and laughter have brought C.C. Warrens through some very difficult times in life, and she weaves both into every story she writes, creating a world of breath-stealing intensity, laugh-out-loud humor, and a sparkle of hope. Writing has been a slowly blossoming dream inside her for most of her life until one day it spilled out onto the pages that would become her first published book.
If she’s not writing, she’s attempting to bake something—however catastrophic that might be—or she’s enjoying the beauty of the outdoors with her husband. One of the many things she’s learned since she started this journey is that the best way to write a book is to go on a long stroll with her husband. That is when the characters—from their backgrounds to the moments that make them laugh or bubble over with anger—come to life.

If you're looking for a cozy mystery or romantic comedy with an ending wrapped up in a nice little bow, well . . . these books aren't for you. My books are intended to reflect the real world—a world that is messy, terrifying, wonderful, and sprinkled with humor. My hope is that these books will touch someone who has been through something traumatic and remind them that even in our darkest moments, God is with us.
