It was my pleasure to review this book before it was first released. I love a good read, and I am glad I discovered Crucifix, the first book of Jigsaw Trilogy. I am very happy about this book for many reasons.First, the plots are well built, and action driven. All events and/or incidents occurred in the story are well built. That is, they are character and story driven. Secrets and hooks between events and scenes are intriguing.Second, the characters are multi-dimensional. They have traits for the audience to love and they all have flaws. The flaws are what I love about the characters. They make the characters human. Of course Crucifix is a work of fiction and all characters are fictional. I don’t expect the characters to be realistic or believable, because, it they were, they’d become boring. If I have to put it in a sentence, then it is this: characters in this book are unrealistically intriguing and adoringly funny. I love all of them.Third, I love the hybrid genre. Personally, I think it’s a brave attempt. It has strong love story and relationship driven plots like what I would expect in a classic romance. But then, the hooks between event and the texture of the story and are classic mystery. On top of that, the settings of the events are classic action adventure. Lastly, the events are polished with a twist of science fiction.In a nutshell, this is well worth a read. I love it, and I can’t wait to get my hand on to the second book.
