The Cross of Ciarán (The Cross of Ciarán Book 1) by Andrea Matthews – Review by Angela Hayes

The Cross of Ciaran by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Cross of Ciaran is the first book in The Cross of Ciaran series by Andrea Matthews. It is a paranormal romance- with archaeology, mystery, magic, adventure, drama, some suspense, and history.
Caitlin O’Connell is an archaeologist who unearths the body of a pagan priest. The perfectly preserved body is over 1500 years old- so he is the find of her career. But somewhere along the line, the body disappears- and so this adventure begins.
What happens when the priest miraculously awakens? Why was he buried alive in the first place? What surprising developments will ensue? Maybe you should grab a copy and find out.
I really liked Ciaran, but found it difficult to connect with Caitlin. She came across quite prickly and rude. The story transitions from past to present and back again- building the backstory whilst driving the story forward. I wonder where the second book will lead?

Thank you, Andrea Matthews.
