THE GIRL BEHIND THE RED ROPE

Ten years ago, Grace saw something that would forever change the course of history. When evil in its purest form is unleashed on the world, she and others from their religious community are already hidden deep in the hills of Tennessee, abiding by every rule that will keep them safe, pure -- and alive. As long as they stay there, behind the red perimeter.

Her older brother's questions and the arrival of the first outsiders she's seen in a decade set in motion events that will question everything Grace has built her life on. Enemies rise on all sides -- but who is the real enenmy? And what will it cost her to uncover the truth?

For the first time, bestselling authors Ted Dekker and Rachelle Dekker team up and deliver an intense, tightly focused ride through the most treacherous world of all.

My Review:

What a formidable father/daughter duo!  All that creativity and talent meshing together to create something indefinable. And hard to classify. Speculative Fiction is the closest I can get. Not quite Dystopian, though there are Dystopian elements to this story. And there's too much realism to consider it Fantasy, I think the Dekkers might have to start their own genre.  :-)

My brain is still kinda cafuzzled after completing this read. There were times I had absolutely no idea what was going on and other times where I made assumptions that were just plain wrong.So I think it's best to approach The Girl Behind the Red Rope with an open mind because nothing can really prepare you for the deep, rich layers that make up this compelling tale where truths abound -- sometimes uncomfortably so.

And it is a hard book to review because I don't want to give anything away. But Grace's quest really resonated with me. I could see parallels in my own life to varying degrees and I love the way the authors carry their message through to a spectacular ending. Scary and hopeful and everything in between. Not a light read but a worthwhile one. And it would make a fantastic book club selection because there are so many talking points. You couldn't cover them all in one meeting!

If you're in the mood for something edgy and different and utterly thought-provoking then this is definitely the book for you!
