Tosca Lee once again crafts a story that keeps you breathlessly turning pages until the very end. And then it leaves you wanting more.

We meet Wynter Roth in the middle of her story - she's being forcibly removed from The Enclave, the home of the cult known as New Earth. She leaves with one goal in mind - to return and rescue her sister Jaclyn and Jaclyn's daughter Truly. There's just one problem - Jaclyn is married to the leader of New Earth, a man named Magnus. And he's the one kicking Wynter out into the world that he has taught his followers to fear. Thankfully, she's barely past the boundary of New Earth when she is met by an old family friend, Julie, who is determined to help Wynter get her bearings. Julie and her husband Ken let Wynter move into the apartment over their garage and they make arrangements for her to see a therapist when she becomes overwhelmed by all the sudden change in her life.

The outside world is a strange place to Wynter. She's never used a smart phone, watched television, or "surfed" the internet. And the world she's entered is facing a serious problem that is only just becoming apparent. Numerous people are struggling with what seems to be an early-onset form of dementia and the doctors are baffled as to the cause. Especially because it seems to be contagious. To make matters worse, the power is going out and the gas stations are running out of fuel. Outside forces using the health scare to their advantage perhaps?

Beautifully weaving flashbacks together with Wynter's current experiences, Lee takes the reader on an emotional ride through the events that led to Wynter's expulsion from the Enclave and places her squarely at the center of a national health crisis. She reconnects with a former cult member that had supposedly died and even gets a chance to see her sister (outside of the Enclave) who entrusts her with the monumental task of transporting precious cargo that could hold the answer to curing the epidemic that is sweeping the nation. Along the way, she meets Chase, a former Marine who makes it his personal mission to help Wynter make her very important trip (once he forces the truth out of her, that is). And that former cult member? She introduces Wynter and Chase to Noah who has gone to great lengths to provide a safe, secure hideaway for just the type of crisis currently taking place.

Underlying all of this is Wynter's own personal struggle to figure out just what or who is worth believing in. As a child, Wynter's faith in Magnus and his teaching was firm and unwavering. In her adult years, she learns things about Magnus that cause her to question everything she once believed. So is she really sorry to be leaving when Magnus casts her out? And just exactly how does Jaclyn, the wife of The Prophet, come into possession of items that could prove invaluable to the CDC in treating and stopping what is shaping up to be a pandemic?

The Line Between A Novel Tosca Lee 9781476798622 Books Reviews

Wynter Roth, and her family joined the New Earth, a cult designed to withstand the brainwashed belief of an upcoming apocalypse. Magnus, the infamous and God like creater of the enclave, bestowed the idea that being part of this organization would save them from eternal damnation. He not only had the ability to be a grade A you know what but, miraculously mystified individuals with his words. If I had the chance to choke a character, Magnus would be number one on my list.

Now, once Wynter found herself in turmoil, she was thrown into the outside world, where an unexplainable outbreak of dementia started spreading across the nation. Wynter's characteristics of strength and bravery impressed me from the start. Her badass attitude and overall adjustment to the change in environment shocked me. She is one firecracker you don't want to mess with!

Throughout the chapters, Tosca beautifully intertwined both the past and present. I learned a lot from Wynter's time in the cult, and adored the dystopian feel behind the mysterious outbreak. I was constantly on the edge of my seat worrying about the well being of Wynter and the important task that only she could carry out.

Tosca's writing is top notch! As a respected and bestselling author, she does not disappoint. Every scene flushed me with excitement and I became engulfed in the outcome. And wow, what a conclusion! I will patiently wait for my next dose coming soon. One of the best, heart stopping novels I've read in years. Quote me on that! If you're into thrillers or dystopian fiction, I suggest you get on the Tosca train because I'm not getting off anytime soon.
The Line Between is one of those odd books that captures me in some ways and repels me in others, so I rated it right in the middle.

Tosca Lee knows how to keep the pages turning; at various points, I did not want to put the book down. Her plot moves along at a great clip without being exhausting. It strikes me as a mix of The Handmaid's Tale and more modern books about the end of the world, such as One Second After. Seeing cataclysmic events through the eyes of a former cult member was also a good choice. Wynter does not just believe the chaos and epidemic of rapid early onset dementia is the end of the world. She knows it, because she's had it drilled into her head for fifteen years that something like this will happen. That creates some heavy psychological and spiritual tension I wish Tosca had capitalized on more (I'll get to that).

The conflicts of The Line Between's plot drew me with their uniqueness. For instance, here, it's not foreign terrorists threatening to destroy America--it's bioterror in the form of a highly contagious disease. Serious illness and the dark side of the medical world are among my biggest fears, so I definitely had a vested interest in seeing if everyone would be okay. I also appreciated the twist Tosca threw in about 70% into the book, wherein Wynter must run for more than her life.

The Line Between does have some problems. First, because this is such an action-driven story, the characters often feel two-dimensional. Some, like Magnus, feel stereotypical. Not that an evil cult leader with serial wives isn't a good threat. It is, partially because people like Magnus do exist and make their livings deceiving and destroying vulnerable people. But between Jim Jones, David Koresh, Warren Jeffs, and various documentaries and iterations on Dr. Phil--well, we've seen it. A lot. I would have liked some kind of twist, some special element, that set Wynter's experience apart from the rest. I also craved more about Wynter, Jaclyn, Chase, and the others--deeper looks into their emotions, motivations, spirituality, and so forth.

Spirituality is another problem. I love a Christian book that makes the Christian element subtle, and Tosca delivers. However, I didn't get the sense that any of these characters were putting their hope in God (the real one) or trying to find Him. Wynter does a little bit, but I wanted so much more. Tosca gives her a good setup, in that she's dealing with religious PTSD, so naturally, she's going to be cagey about anything to do with God, Jesus, faith, etc. But then that tension fizzles in the face of the action. I understand, and maybe Tosca will cover it more in the next book, but...meh. Tosca also took a bit of a risk letting a few characters curse and say or do things a lot of Christian readers will not like. It pans out, sort of, but did we need it? Not sure...

Overall, this book is probably more a 3.5, and I'm glad I read it. I could've used a lot more character and spiritual depth, but if you like plot-driven stories, this is probably one of the better ones out there. If nothing else, it will make you think.
