Praise for Crossing the Line
"Jocelyn makes for a kick-ass, determined heroine, and there's no shortage of scenes of adrenaline-charged adventure...[A] strong debut for both the author and the Raven Files series."--Publishers Weekly
"There's a plot twist, revealed secret, or chase scene in every chapter--Rogers knows how to keep the pages turning....The cliff-hanger ending begs for a swift sequel."--Booklist
"For fans of TV's Alias, this is the beginning of an excellent new espionage series."--School Library Journal
"Action lovers will enjoy the movie-worthy close-combat scenes, tension-building rescues, and narrow escapes, while those who like their spy stories with psychological heft will appreciate the careful portrait of Jocelyn as a trauma survivor....Perfect for readers who grew up with Carter's Gallagher Girls series and are ready for the next level."--BCCB
