Synopsis
Dr. Miriam, Miri, is charged with leading the expedition through the Amazon to find the Lost City of the Moon. It’s her chance to prove to her colleagues she’s capable.
Rafa is a journalist, but he’s determined to protect the Lost City of the Moon. His mom was a protector, and now it’s fallen to him.
However, along the way. Rafa ends up falling for the quirky and endearing Dr. Miri. Unfortunately for them, it seems they aren’t the only team hunting for the city, and the other team doesn’t have the purest of intentions.
Thoughts:
Jo Segura is back with their sophomore novel and it is spectacular, just like their first but in some ways even better. I really enjoyed being back in the archeology world, which I didn’t realize was quite so entertaining. Okay yes Indian Jones, but that’s a movie. I think that this adventure was more captivating and really drew me in. The romantic pairing in this one was spot on. Dr. Miri was so much fun. She was a strong female main character and so intelligent while still having some humanistic type flaws. I loved her quirks as they were a lot of fun and helped add depth to her character. Rafa was also entertaining but above all his admiration with Miri was what drew me in. Even though he was supposed to be steering her on the wrong path he wanted her to succeed, and he was so conflicted. The reveal was also a lot of fun and the tie to the first book was a nice touch. While you don’t have to read the first one to understand the book, those who have read the first book will appreciate and understand the reference, it was great.
