My Review - Red Dawn RIsing



RED DAWN RISING was packed with intrigue and suspense.  Though it was the second novel in the Red Returning series, it was strong enough to stand on its own.

A famed pianist, a Broadway set designer, a former KGB assassin, and a plot to take down the US presidency.  RED DAWN RISING had a very well thought out plot.  But you have to pay attention at all times to follow it. 

Even though I found the beginning a bit slow and at times confusing, the intrigue pulled me in.  While I understand the need for Russian names, I found the names with difficult pronunciations to be distracting.  But once I got into the plot, and the author fleshed out the characters, I really enjoyed watching the story unfold.  You really had to keep your head in the game to be able to follow the characters and unsuspecting connections. A truly suspenseful book.  I will be keeping my eye out for the next book in the series.
