From Allison van Diepen, author of Snitch and Street Pharm, comes a sexy, dangerous novel about a teen who witnesses a murder and gets caught up in the seedy world of Miami’s gangs.
Maddie Diaz never should have taken that shortcut through the park. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have seen two members of the Reyes gang attacking a homeless man. Now, as the only witness, she knows there’s a target on her back.
But when the Reyes jump her on the street, Maddie is protected by a second gang and their secretive leader, Lobo, who is determined to take down the Reyes himself. Lobo is mysterious and passionate, and Maddie begins to fall for him. But when they live this close to the edge, can their love survive?
On the Edge is a compelling story about fighting for what’s right and figuring out where you belong. The novel showcases a gritty, realistic voice and earth–shattering romance that will intrigue readers of Simone Elkeles and Paul Griffin and captivate fans of Allison van Diepen's other novels.
On the Edge really surprised me, I didn't think it would
totally be for me since it is to do with gangs and all that lovely stuff, and
really, I watch enough of that on TV since I watch every type of Cop shows out
there, right now I'm pretty addicted to Chicago PD, which, if you haven't seen
it, is one of the best portrayals of blurred lines I've seen, in my opinion,
especially when it comes to Voight.. But, reading about it? I usually find them
cheesy, I don't know why, but it's the same with music and art in books that
just do for me. But, YES. I freaking loved it.
