Key item features

In this frighteningly believable thriller from New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee, an extinct disease re-emerges from the melting Alaskan permafrost to cause madness in its victims. For recent apocalyptic cult escapee Wynter Roth, it’s the end she’d always been told was coming.

When Wynter Roth is turned out of New Earth, a self-contained doomsday cult on the American prairie, she emerges into a world poised on the brink of madness as a mysterious outbreak of rapid early onset dementia spreads across the nation.

As Wynter struggles to start over in a world she’s been taught to regard as evil, she finds herself face-to-face with the apocalypse she’s feared all her life—until the night her sister shows up at her doorstep with a set of medical samples. That night, Wynter learns there’s something far more sinister at play and that these samples are key to understanding the disease.

Now, as the power grid fails and the nation descends into chaos, Wynter must find a way to get the samples to a lab in Colorado. Uncertain who to trust, she takes up with former military man Chase Miller, who has his own reasons for wanting to get close to the samples in her possession, and to Wynter herself.

Filled with action, conspiracy, romance, and questions of whom—and what—to believe, The Line Between is a high-octane story of survival and love in a world on the brink of madness.

The publicity on this novel calls it frighteningly believable and I am in agreement with that description. You hear about these crazy cults on the news and this story takes you inside the workings of one such sect. The story is about Wynter Roth and her survival in an apocalyptic cult. The story flashes back and forth between present day and the past. That perspective gives the story added suspense as details are revealed and things slide into place. It's been a while since I have read a novel that stressed me out this much. The cult leader is Magnus who is evil cloaked in kindness. When the story begins you don't realize how much danger Wynter is in. But the deeper you get into the story the stronger the sense of doom becomes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I like Tosca Lee's gritty writing style. But if you are sensitive to the more earthy side of things you may not like this book. There is mild profanity used so be forewarned. I think I enjoy Tosca's books because her characters reflect the real life people that I encounter every day. I have no idea if this book with have a sequel but I sure hope it does. The story itself is complete but there is still that lingering question of what happens next. Just in case anyone cares what I think . . . my vote is for a book two.

a gripping tale

"But these are no longer just samples of some disease. They were purchased with lives to save many more. Lives precious to me." This is the first book by Tosca Lee that I have read and I am floored. What a chilling and totally believable thriller! The story is incredibly well-written with a credible plot that has many twists and turns, clever and witty dialogue, and unforgettable characters. The story is told by Wynter as a first person narrative, going back and forth from her past in a cult preparing for the end times using the past tense to her present situation as an outcast using the present tense. Wynter is a straight-forward, funny, determined, loyal sweetheart who suffers from anxiety and OCD which may have been triggered by her abrupt entrance into the world when she gets thrown out from the Enclave (the cult which she had been a part of for more than half her life). As the world crumbles quickly into madness due to an unknown disease, Wynter must gather her courage and wits to figure out how to get the information that she has into the hands of those who can and will help. Chase enters the story relatively late and offers the strong support and logical thinking that Wynter needs to balance out her actions fueled by emotion. It's a gripping tale that you will not be able to put down until the very last page. If you enjoy thrillers, this fascinating book is a must-read! I was given a copy of this book by the author and Howard Books via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
