REVIEW: MEXIZONA: AN AMERICAN DREAM by Alan A. Larson

 

“Why?  Why do you hate so much?
Why did you teach me to hate?
They’re just people.” –Hannah



Explosive.  Suspenseful.  Action-packed.  Thrilling. Emotional.  Heart-wrenching.  This story is so realistic that it is scary because it could actually be happening right now.  Readers will be on the edge of their seats from the explosive start to the bloody finish.

Set in the midst of the current Arizona-Mexico border crisis, Larson has given us a modern-day Romeo and Juliet love story.  Our young lovers are from different sides of the border, literally.  Unfortunately, prejudice and politics are against them from all fronts.  Their forbidden romance leads to betrayal, revenge and murder.

SUMMARY:   Spoiled white teen with a gun hates all Mexicans and so decides to use them for shooting practice.  His “Diablo Blanco” aka The White Devil uncle is running for sheriff.  Local Mexican gangs are looking for any excuse to have a showdown with the gringos.  Tempers are running hot.  Prejudice is rampant on both sides.  Heightened tensions.  Election fever.  It’s a boiling cauldron of hate.  It’s all an accident waiting to happen.  And, caught in the middle are Diego and Hannah.  As different as night and day, but both pulled together by young love.  Unfortunately, neither side will accept their budding romance.  And when Diego accidentally kills her cousin, all hell breaks loose and both sides will lose, especially our young star-crossed lovers.###
