Review: Crossing the Line

Crossing the Line

Publication Date: June 12, 2018

CROSSING THE LINE by Simone Elkeles is a novel written from two different perspectives. One narrator, named Ryan, is a teen who crosses the border from Texas into Mexico to learn to box and to escape his family. The other narrator is named Delilah, the daughter of a wealthy lawyer. When the two meet, they become entangled in a dramatic tale of murder and betrayal set amidst the drug wars of the US/Mexico border.  

The double narrative was a pleasant change from the straightforward single narrator of most novels. The author captured both sides of the story well, and the plot was never stagnant. It was a fast-paced and exciting tale of life on the border.

CROSSING THE LINE is a fast-paced spy novel about Jocelyn Steely, the girl who makes it her mission to take down the North Korean spy agency that kidnapped her as a little girl. There are twists with every turn of the page and I liked the author's writing style because the plot was well established she really dragged me into Jocelyn’s world. If there is a second book, and I think there will be, I will definitely be reading it!
