The plot in brief: The Shuar tribe in Ecuador are the purported guardians of an ancient treasure. Among the rumored artifacts hidden away somewhere in a secret cave is a metal library containing the legendary knowledge of Atlantis. Two archaeologists, Laney McPhearson and Jen Witt, are hoping to learn the truth about this treasure cache from their Shuar friends. But they're not the only ones seeking the treasure. And if the wrong men get their hands on those artifacts and all that ancient knowledge, it could mean the end of the world. Luckily, Laney's boyfriend, former Navy Seal Jake Rogan, and their friend, Henry Chandler, the wealthy and reclusive CEO of the Chandler Group, are determined to keep that from happening.
My thoughts: I bet you can guess what made me want to buy and read this one! How could I resist a story with archaeologists, gold artifacts, lost treasure, underwater caves, fallen angels, and the legend of Atlantis? And it turned out to be a fast-paced, action-filled adventure--one of those entertaining popcorn reads that's perfect for summer. I really liked all the main characters, especially Danny, the 13-year-old hacker who works with Henry. And I thought the angel mythology added a nice twist at the end. If they ever make a movie of this one, I'd totally go see it. And I think I'm going to have to buy the next book in this series to see what fun adventures are next for Laney, Jake, Jen and Henry and their friends.
Happy Reading!
I honestly though this could be the plot of an Indiana Jones movie!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought when I started reading it! :D
DeleteWow! How could anyone resist reading this one. It sounds amazing, and perfect for summer.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great summer read...I love fun adventures like this with lost treasure and quests and action.
DeleteYou had me at archaeologists... and then you mentioned angel mythology... enough! I'm off to look it up...
ReplyDeleteIt ended up being a very fun combination of both. And there's two other books at least about these characters.
DeleteArchaeologists, lost treasure, and the legend of Atlantis? Yes, please! This sounds great! :D
ReplyDeleteNow you know why I had to buy a used copy of this one! :D
DeleteThis does sound awesome. Fallen angels, remote caves... yes please!
ReplyDeleteJust remote caves would have been enough for me. ;D
DeleteSounds as if it has all the elements of a fun read! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteIt was very entertaining. :D
DeleteSounds like the perfect summer-read. As someone up above said, sounds like a good Indiana Jones movie-to-be.
ReplyDeleteIt has that same kind of fun archaeology/adventure vibe to it.
DeleteGreat review!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy.
DeleteI find angel mythology so interesting. This sounds like a fun read, Lark. I am glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThe angel mythology in this one was very fun. I liked it a lot. And it's kind of why I want to read the other books in this series.
DeleteOooh! Sounds like a fun, thrilling adventure! I think I'd like this one! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's such an entertaining popcorn summer read. I just enjoyed it.
DeleteThis book's not on my TBR, but I'd give the movie a try :)
ReplyDeleteA movie of this book would be very fun to watch! :D
DeleteYeah any novel with archaeologists is usually a good winner for me as well. Who would play Laney in the movie? hmm
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good question. A young Julia Roberts would be so great. Who's an up and coming actress these days like her?
DeleteI don't think this would be the book for me, but I think it would make a great movie (as others have said). There are some stories I can watch but not get into if I am reading.
ReplyDeleteTotally understandable. This one worked for me because I was totally in the mood for something light, fun, full of action, and fast-paced.
DeleteThis sounds like a really fun read that would be an amazing movie.
ReplyDeleteIt would make such a fun movie!
DeletePretty much anything involving archeology pulls me in and I can never resist any kind of quest. Sounds like a fun read and one I should try!
ReplyDeleteArchaeological quests are some of my favorite things to read about. :D
DeleteWell, this sounds really exciting to me!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great summer read. Fast and fun.
Deleteit does sound fun. I'm glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy it. The perfect popcorn read for summer.
DeleteYou had me at archaeology. Definitely my kind of story.
ReplyDeleteI really love any book that has that Indiana Jones feel to it. :D
DeleteHope you have a great day. Regine
ReplyDeleteSame to you, Regine! :D
DeleteI'm always up for a good tale involving archaeology!
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I love the whole idea of uncovering ancient mysteries and finding lost treasure. :D
DeleteThis one sounds like a fun read. I'm not familiar with this series so I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first book I've ever read by this author.
DeleteSounds like Suzanne Brockmann, whose books I used to devour in the summer. I will keep my eyes out for this.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I need to go check out Brockman's books. Because if they're anything like this one, then I'm going to like them. :D
DeleteI felt like I was hearing about an Indiana Jones adventure. This sounds so fun and how cool about angel mythology. I don't think I've read any book that weaves that in so I would be curious about that!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at how much I ended up liking the whole angel mythology threaded through this one. But it adds a nice twist.
DeleteMy mind went to Indiana Jones too! This one sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's an entertaining adventure. :D
DeleteThis sounds fabulous, and like everyone else, my brain went straight to Indiana Jones, lol.
ReplyDeleteThat's because it's got that fun kind of archaeological plot! :D
