Book Blurb

First year Border Patrol officers Rhys Davis and Liam Malone have been friends since second grade. When their new assignment puts them on the front lines tracking down a vicious, inhuman killer along the southern border, they must call on every resource at their disposal.

The most potent of these turns out to be memories from a life they shared two thousand years ago in the British Isles, one in which they were partners in every way, forming an eternal bond that allowed them to defeat this same enemy in that life. Will crossing the line from friends to lovers in this life destroy their friendship or build on it? Will it allow them victory over the Soul Eater before the monster destroys them both?

 

Publisher's Note: Crossing Borders is an expanded, edited novella based on a short story published previously under the title Beyond the Shadows.

Book Review

This is the second book about the Paranormal Operations Unit of the US Border Patrol, set in a world where human criminals and smugglers are not the only entities threatening the US. Their focus is on keeping the borders safe from paranormal intrusions and attacks, and the agents in this story certainly have their hands full. Some sort of creature has been murdering and mutilating people up and down the border, and doesn’t seem to be too particular about its victims. Quite the challenge! What follows is an intriguing murder mystery, an action-packed adventure, and a touching love story all in one exciting package.

Rhys and Liam have been friends since third grade, went to Border Patrol training together, and have even been assigned to the same unit now that they’re working their probationary year. Tracking down a vicious, inhuman killer isn’t easy, but as they begin to collect clues, it becomes apparent that the creature is a very unusual murderer. Rhys and Liam have always worked well together and soon memories about their earlier lives and a much deeper connection than they share now begin to emerge.

The developing picture was interesting. Switching back and forth between their old life, revealed in dreams, and their current predicament gave me quite a few hints as to what might be going on. It was pretty clear what they needed to do, and I enjoyed watching them prepare for a confrontation that they were not at all sure they’d survive.

If you like stories about decidedly nonhuman serial killers and age-old evil, if reincarnation and memories of previous lives sound interesting, and if you’re looking for a read that is somewhat gruesome, suspenseful, and ensures two lovers find each other again, then you might like this novella.
