Red Dawn Rising by Sue Duffy Review!!!

Red Dawn Rising: A Novel, by Sue Duffy

Twenty-seven-year-old Cass Rodino is a hardworking, dedicated set designer on Broadway. But, like the actors who take the stage every night, she is masking a different reality. Her secrets lie deep within past wounds too severe to expose to anyone.

 

Evgeny Kozlov has secrets of his own. A former KGB assassin, he is trying to outrun the underground revolution he once served. Trying to right his wrongs, he's in a race against time and against a former colleague, Ivan, who has sinister plans to bring down the United States, including an assassination attempt on famed pianist Liesl Bower.

As Cass and Evgeny separately set out to save Liesl from an impending doom, both are hurled into a fierce CIA/FBI dragnet, not knowing that their formidable opponent-a most unlikely predator-is already closing in on them.

Book 2 of the Red Returning Trilogy, Red Dawn Rising mixes suspense, action, and romance in a tale of personal tragedy and triumph that will keep readers pivoting between the evil desires of world powers and the redeeming powers of personal faith, life, and love.

My Review:

This was an interesting story about Russia and the KGB. It was interesting to read about Russian spies and not talk about War. This is a sequel and although it is stand alone, I wish that there were less references to the first book. National Security is a hot topic in the news every day, and this book definitely shows how every day lives are affected. 

The secondary plot involves a woman who is trying to prove her Step Father is having an affair. 

Cass was a great character to watch from the beginning of the book to the end, and I am curious to see what trouble she finds herself in if another book comes out,

I am giving this book a 3/5 due to the level of confusion. However I am sure that my rating would have been higher if I read the first book. I was given a copy to review from Kregel, However all opinions are my own!!!!!
