Una novela basada en hechos reales que retrata con intensidad la vida en la frontera norte del país, ese otro México dentro de México que vive al filo de la navaja y en el que la línea que separa la legalidad de la ilegalidad es tan porosa como aquella que divide a un país del otro.

Carolina es una joven atractiva de Ciudad Juárez. La vida parece sonreírle: el negocio familiar es próspero, sus hermanos mayores la adoran y protegen, y, a su corta edad, comienza a ser el objeto de atracción de todas las miradas masculinas juarenses -y esto, claramente, no le molesta-. Mientras la vida en la ciudad se ve trastocada por la violencia, el narcotráfico y la corrupción, Carolina parece habitar una realidad paralela, entre la candidez y el cinismo.

Vicente es un periodista que comienza su carrera en un diario de la capital del país. Gracias a su dedicación y su valor para exhibir a funcionarios públicos, es asignado a una misión importante: cubrir la guerra contra el narcotráfico, del presidente Enrique Calderón Nieto, en el norte del país. Al poco tiempo de iniciar su investigación, descubre que el asunto es mucho más grave que una sangrienta disputa entre bandas rivales de criminales y que la red de complicidades y corrupción alcanza al procurador de justicia y al gobernador del estado.

Qué pasará cuando los caminos de estos dos personajes -Carolina Vicente- se crucen?

Mezcla magistral de thriller político y novela costumbrista, Tu cabello es la frontera es el retrato fiel de la descomposición política de un país y, al mismo tiempo, el retrato entrañable del día a día de millones de mexicanos que viven, en todos los sentidos, sobre la raya.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel based on true events that intensely depicts life on the country's northern border, this other Mexico inside of Mexico that lives on a razor's edge and in which the line that separates legality from illegality is as porous as the one that divides one country from the other.

Carolina is an attractive young woman from Ciudad Juarez. Life seems to smile at her: the family business is prosperous, her older brothers adore and protect her, and at her young age, she's beginning to become the object that attracts all the masculine stares in Juarez--and this clearly doesn't bother her. While life in the city is disrupted by violence, drug cartels, and corruption, Carolina seems to live in a parallel reality, between candor and cynicism.

Vicente is a reporter that begins his career at a newspaper in the country's capital. Thanks to his dedication and bravery for exposing public officials, he's assigned to an important missions: covering the president's, Enrique Calderón Nieto's, war on drugs in the northern part of the country. A short time after beginning his investigation, he discovers that the issue is a lot graver than just a bloody dispute between rival bands of criminals and that the web of complicity and corruption reaches the district attorney and the governor of the state.

What will happen when the paths of these two characters--Carolina and Vicente--cross? A master of mixing a political thriller and a comedy of errors, Your Hair Is The Border, is a faithful portrait of the political decomposition of a country, and at the same time, a touching portrait of the day-to-day life of millions of Mexicans who live, in every sense, right on the line.

Amazing, different, success.
Format: Kindle
First let me say that this book (series) was not something I normally read. I prefer LGBT books written by women, but I also had no idea what a LitRPG was. I started the book cautiously, I found myself a little disappointed that it was under LGBT but the main character was into her co-worker. The co-worker was a dude. But I kept reading and I was surprised by how I got into the fact that it was sending her into a realm where she was basically a character in a video game. Completing tasks to earn points, leveling up, gaining stats. Now I’ll be honest, some of the information in this book (and the rest of the series) flew straight over my head. The author is definitely far more intelligent than I, and probably most average people lol. Finally, the characters are actually well developed and have their own unique personalities. With Emma’s leadership qualities she helps her group of new friends survive and turn into badasses. In the following books you can see how they each change and take on different roles over the course of their trials. This first book was great, it got me hooked. But it gets even better as time goes on! I have read this series so many times that I basically know it by heart. It’s that good. I recommend you read this, and the 5 other novels in the series. Also, check out the authors website and Patreon for sure. He’s currently working on a new series and posts chapter updates in Patreon posts. PS. I only leave reviews on books that wow me. :)

Comes Off Naturally
Format: Kindle
Unnatural Laws introduces a few wrinkles to the isekai LitRPG template and makes a comfy niche for itself. First, as the title implies, it introduces a few variations to the laws of physics. Water has higher self-cohesion, breathing can be weaponized, gravity's parameters work differently, etc. Second, the book includes the "forced participation in a training/puzzle facility" subgenre. Instead of a short tutorial arc, the first book ends well before winning free of the deadly training scenarios. Third, the "portal" mechanism by which folks are yoinked into a new reality. It is implied that the "kidnapped to another world" setup will continue to be important to the plot, where in most other Isekai it doesn't particularly matter how or why the MC got yoinked...it only matters that it happened. The most important things to me are characters. And these characters work! The MC is snarky, tough-minded, and takes charge. In a romance novel dust jacket, that description would already have me nauseous in anticipation of a vapid young woman who "zings" when silence would serve and who only appears "tough" and "take charge" because all of the other characters react to her that way. Not in this book! In this story, it's real and it's working for me. The secondary characters are also real to me. A young woman who low-key flirts with everyone (unconsciously?) and gets preferential treatment. An earnest young man who flees from anything he considers "work"...but will happily pour himself into crafts he enjoys. And others that I can only encapsulate even worse, so I won't try! There is plenty going on and plenty more to uncover. I thoroughly enjoy watching them interact and cooperate to navigate their new circumstances. Other things that are present and well-done, even if they don't stand out quite as much: - An assistant AI with secrets to keep - An interesting LitRPG system, blended with cultivation - A teaser for a well-built new world - A germinating romantic relationship If you enjoy the Isekai genre, the only thing that should make you pause before buying this: It's light on combat. Plenty of action, mind you, but most of it isn't combat. If that doesn't bother you (as it doesn't bother me), then you should pick this up. ===== EDIT: After reading 5 books, I like this series even better. At this point, I'd revise the subgenre to be "death games" and mention that the death games don't finish until the very end of book 4. The "light on combat" label expires with book one...there's plenty of combat after that. It is both well done and inventive! Lastly, I suppose this could be classified as YA fiction. Political landscapes and broader implications are hinted at, but you rarely get a look at them before they arrive and change the landscape. That said, I'm no spring chicken and I enjoyed these books a great deal.

Literally stayed up all night reading this.
Format: Kindle
A classic litrpg, but without some of the lazy tropes often used. Refreshing and familiar at the same time. The worldbuilding is great, the system is intriguing, the supporting cast is fun, and the MC is best summarized as a college student out of her depth staving off constant threats of death through the sheer bullheadedness of refusing to die. Romance isn't a major theme in this story, but threre is a hint that the MC isn't quite as straight as she believes. The writing is consistent and the narrative rarely drags, and why are you still reading this review? Go read the book.

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started reading this book, but it definitely wasn't what I got. And, what I got was so much better! The idea of large groups of people just being taken from Earth on a schedule and yet the general population still having a rather blase attitude about avoiding large crowds is something that, 2 years ago, I would have said was unrealistic. After living through 2020, I now think it's incredibly realistic. As is the reaction had by a lot of the ones taken with Emma - well, before the coughing started, anyway. As for the trials. Holy crap! I can't imagine having to go through those, but I loved Emma's absolute determination to make it through them so she can (somehow) make it back to Earth and see her family again. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the first trials section went, as it can be very difficult for authors to maintain a flow when there's one person. Having Suri there for conversations helped, but Wells did a masterful job there. Then we get to Hub Two and the difficulties there, and man! While I do hope that Emma doesn't have to keep taking so many crazy risks, her sheer determination to make it through works so well. Even though she clearly has plot armor that prevents her from dying, all the close calls - and the ways she gets out of them - are done really well. None of them seem outlandish or unrealistic, at least to me, which I greatly appreciated. I am definitely looking forward to reading book 2.
