Review: The Line Between - Tosca Lee - January 2019 One of my favourite topics to read about in fiction is about cults as I always find the idea of them quite fascinating, especially with those who have spent so many years in the real world, how easy it is for them to shed what they know and accept a new way of life in order to fit in somewhere in the world.
