Book Review: Cold Fury by T.M. Goeglein
About the Book: Jason Bourne meets The Sopranos in this breathtaking adventure
Sara Jane Rispoli is a normal sixteen-year-old coping with school and a budding romance--until her parents and brother are kidnapped and she discovers her family is deeply embedded in the Chicago Outfit (aka the mob).
Now on the run from a masked assassin, rogue cops and her turncoat uncle, Sara Jane is chased and attacked at every turn, fighting back with cold fury as she searches for her family. It's a quest that takes her through concealed doors and forgotten speakeasies--a city hiding in plain sight. Though armed with a .45 and 96K in cash, an old tattered notebook might be her best defense--hidden in its pages the secret to "ultimate power." It's why she's being pursued, why her family was taken, and could be the key to saving all of their lives.
Action packed, with fresh, cinematic writing, Cold Fury is a riveting and imaginative adventure readers will devour.
My Review: For me, Cold Fury, was a bit slow paced. I often found myself easily distracted while reading this novel, especially while reading the first hundred pages. The novel does pick up in pace towards the end though and is quite an enjoyable and interesting story. The characters, particularly Sara Jane, are likeable and entertaining. Even though it took me awhile to get through this novel, I am intrigued to see what will happen next. 3/5 STARS
