The Only Road by Alexandra Diaz

4.0

Everyone in Jamie’s small town knows someone who has been killed by the gang, The Alpha’s, that rules their town with their violent ways. Anyone who refuses to work with them ends up dead, just like Jamie’s best friend and cousin Miguel. After the death of Miguel the Alpha’s begin to recruit Jamie and his other cousin Ángela. In an effort to give them a better, and safer life, their family gathers together what they can to send Jamie and Ángela on the long journey north to New Mexico to live with Jamie’s brother. It’s a long journey filled with danger along the road and at the border, but for them it’s the only road.

Recommended for anyone who likes adventure or likes to read about other types of lives. A very powerful read.
