PUBLISHER’S DESCRIPTION

“Memphis “M” Engle is stubborn to a fault, graced with an almost absurd knowledge of long lost languages and cultures, and a heck of an opponent in a fight. In short: she’s awesome.

Ashwin Sood is a little too posh for her tastes, a member of an ancient cult (which she’s pretty sure counts for more than one strike against him), and has just informed Memphis that her father who she thought was dead isn’t and needs her help.

From the catacombs of Paris to lost temples in the sacred forests, together they crisscross the globe, searching for the pieces of the one thing that might save her father. But the closer they come to saving him—and the more they fall for one another—the closer they get to destroying the world.”

REVIEW

This is a fast-paced and thrilling adventure novel.

M, is the daughter of an archeologist who has been living with her guardians since she was informed her dad had passed away. Ash enters the picture, young and well-built and just happens to inform M that her dad is actually alive. From that moment on, both will travel around the world in a race against time, visiting ancient places, finding clues to will help save M’s father.

The novel is told in alternating perspectives and is set in places all over the globe. I like how M gives a historic and archeological background to the places mentioned in the book, it makes the story interesting. There is also a playful dynamic and humorous banter between the main characters.

Overall, I liked it and recommend it those who enjoy adventure thrillers and YA with some supernatural elements.
