The novel begins with a press report of an airplane that disappeared twelve years ago. The disappearance caused lots of speculations among the media houses. Glorietta, a music sensation, had vanished from the public domain during the same period.

The events preceding the disappearance of the plane proved fatal. Knoxi Musket was being presented as a new member of Texas University by Coach Willis. She was a powerhouse basketball personality. Her move to the university was considered a game-changer by the sports fanatics. During her unveiling, Glorietta was scheduled to perform too. However, confusion transpired after the unveiling as Glorietta led Knoxi, Jeremy, Elena, and Brandi to a dark room. Unbeknownst to them, an assailant, Orlando, was on the premise. A tussle erupts, and Orlando was murdered. Getting out of the building proved rocky as Orlando's syndicate waited outside. Elena sought help from outside by contacting Baker, her husband, who was in charge of Musket’s security. While Baker was a former Navy SEAL, Elena previously served as a police officer. Baker arrived with a helicopter to rescue his wife and the group. The evacuation was an uphill task as the assailants bombarded them with bullets. Despite being shot, Jeremy aided Elena to the plane. You must be wondering why the team failed to involve the police force. However, the big question posed was why the men were after Glorietta, formerly named Alex.

Knoxi's World by James Nathaniel Miller III is an action-packed novel. The reader meets characters united by their past; Alex and Robbie face the same predicament. Their predicaments do not make them give up the ghost. My favorite aspect was the portrayal of women characters. Alex was assaulted sexually by unscrupulous businessmen, but she remained steadfast in her desire to make her future bright. She was also determined to find her son, who was stolen from her back in Nogales. Elena comes out as a fearless woman who outsmarts men physically and mentally.

I also liked the fast-paced nature of this novel. The author didn’t dwell on one scene but risked providing too little information to create suspense and add the thrill to the read. Because this novel contains investigative themes, I relished the vivid descriptions deployed. I could picture the gruesome experiences that most of the players in the book encountered and countered. Some characters struggled to converse in English. This provided a niche to learn a few Spanish terms.

On the flip side, I didn't like a few aspects. First, incorporating teenagers in massive operations, such as fighting cartels, made this book seem too fictionalized. While their efforts were complemented by experienced personnel, I felt such issues could be addressed better by more mature individuals. The contributions of Hutch and Star seemed too expedited. I felt the duo played a crucial role in the novel and deserved more time and space.

Consequently, the two aspects pushed me to rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I cannot rate it lower because I loved its pace, the women characters running the show, and the advanced technological aspects deployed. The editing is short of perfect as I noticed a minor typo.

I recommend this book to young adults. Those who appreciate romance and investigative themes in a novel will find this book fascinating.

I honestly don't know how to feel about this book. It does seem interesting and captivating but something is missing (can't put my finger around it.)
On the other hand, the review is splendid. Thanks.

The book seems to have a great plot, but I agree that it dies sound a bit confusing. I presume that the confusion can only be resolved once you actually read the book. Fantastic review!
