Hey guys, I'm here with another review of a fantastic book!!!
It's called Double Cross by Malorie Blackman
For those who don't know, it's the 4th book of the famous Noughts and Crosses series!!
Here's the gist of the storyline:
Everyone assumes the bomb that killed Callie Rose's grandmother was the work of a nought terrorist. But Callie Rose knows the truth - and her fear of the past leaves her afraid for her future. Her boyfriend Tobey is worried about his own future. A nought boy at an exclusive school Tobey hopes to keep out of trouble, go to university, get a good job and leave the dangerous streets of his childhood behind. But Tobey is discovering that he can't keep clinging to some kind of no-man's land while the neighbourhood around him is carved up by rival gangs. Then he is offered the chance to earn some ready money just making a few 'deliveries'. He doesn't want a part of that world, the world of gangs. But maybe he could get away with it, just this once ...He little realizes how his decision will bring violence down on both himself and Callie and just how far he will go in fighting back...
At first, I felt the ending to Checkmate (the 3rd book in the series) was perfect, so it was weird to carry on reading, but I must tell you it was absolutely amazing, and very different from the rest!!
I advise to you guys to read it but you need to read the others before reading this, to make sure it makes perfect sense.
For those who haven't read or even heard of it the series goes like this:
Noughts and Crosses
Knife Edge
Checkmate
Double Cross
Enjoy!! 😊
