Drug Lords, Cops, and an Inside Man

Joshua Ferreira

Takedown By Allison Van Diepen

       It all begins with sirens and cop chasing. After word was out that Diamond Tony, a well known man of the drug cartel, was in the area, Darren begins working as an inside man for the police to help monitor Tony's every move after being released from juvie where he had taken the fall for Diamond Tony two years prior.

 
     What really captures the readers and locks them in is the sense of worry for the character. For example, questions like, will Darren get caught working with the police? Or even if what he is doing will have a good out come in the end? The narrator always seems to have a way for us as readers wanting more and that's what is good in a book such as this one.

     
    This book is a combination of suspense and mystery thus far. Darren is relate able teenager in which we as readers can connect. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good suspenseful story and also a love story full of thrill.
