Enemy Lines

Enemy Lines is the second in Lind’s Blue and Gray Series, and it is quickly climbing to the top of my “favorite series” list.

In this installment, we follow Hattie through the perils of the Civil War – from time spent in prison to undercover work to assisting in a hospital, where she collects information from the “less reputable” members of society.

We have some of the characters from the first novel in this book, but we’re also introduced to several new characters, all of whom are very well written. At times I was frustrated with Hattie, despite understanding her driving motive, which helped with connecting to the secondary characters.

At the start of this book, I was a little worried there were going to be a lot of different plot lines trying to happen at once since at the end of the first book we’re left with a lot of unanswered questions, but that was not the case. Lind focused on one or two major questions/plot lines, which worked nicely to propel the story in a satisfying and engaging way.

While I enjoyed Lind’s first novel, The Courier’s Wife, immensely, her writing in Enemy Lines felt much more controlled and confident. The storyline kept me on the edge of my seat and I’m left wanting more (the third installment Gray Waters is coming, but I can’t figure out when).
