The Girl behind the Red Rope
"In this mind-bending thriller, father-daughter writing team Ted Dekker and Rachelle Dekker triumph in their faultlessly structured and deconstructed world of religious extremism. . . . the book's suspenseful plot drives the story forward at a racing pace, making this a riveting novel that will long haunt readers."--Booklist, Starred Review

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 enemy? And what will it cost her to uncover the truth?

First time reader of Ted's, probably my last. I know, I know, sorry to all of you die hard fans of Mr. Dekker.
The premise was pretty good, but did not follow through for me anyway. For me, it was a story about Christian beliefs, after you weed through yes "the twists and turns" so to speak. Will you be on the right side of the rope when it's time? Or the wrong side? And should anyone make that decision for you?
You know that old saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" well it is very true in this case because I love this cover.
I received an advanced copy of this book from Revell, and this is my own opinion.
