Not impressed, but since I haven't really finished reading a lot of it, I am going to refrain to rate. It started quite interesting, but I am already bored to hear these character talk over a can of beans and badassery. I am glad I didn't buy it. A lot of hype for nada.
A nerve-racking cliffhanger that left me eagerly waiting for the second half of this.

Another enjoyable book by Kauffman & Spooner. This took me much longer to read than I usually would and I think it lost momentum because of this. I think I will have to re-read it at a later date but I am happy to think it was me, not the book that caused me to struggle through.

The book ends in a cliffhanger and believe me, it's worth it.Very fulfilling Sci-Fi novel without a dull moment in it.
Onward, If you dare

WOW! It is the first word that comes to mind after reading this book but it doesn't even come close to describing the brilliance of Unearthed! This is the first book I have read by the duo that is Kaufman and Spooner but I am a fan!
The chapters had alternating POVs which helped us to know how both Amelia and Jules were thinking and feeling during the many twists, turns and mysteries of this novel. Both characters were well formed making them relatable and easy to picture. I also liked that while from very different backgrounds, the two find common ground and work together. Our world needs more of that!
The action-packed journey these two take through the Undying temple on Gaia is full of puzzels and mathematics that I can only imagine to be fascinating. I am most definitely like Jules in that I would want to spend hours, days, weeks, etc., studying it all!
Basically, the plot of Unearthed was incredibly well thought out and an absolute pleasure to read. I was consistently enthralled with the story and found myself thinking about what would happen next when I unfortunately had to put the book down.
It has also been brilliantly set up for the second novel - it can go many different ways so it will be interesting to see which way Kaufman and Spooner choose!
The writing style was consistent and flowed really well, something I actually was not expecting from a book of this format by two authors. In fact, if there were not two names on the cover, I would have assumed it was all written by the same person.
Easily a 5 star book for me and I cannot wait to see where Kaufman and Spooner take Unearthed 2!

I loved the last line of the book, only reason I want to read the next book. Otherwise, it was pretty slow and the plot wasn't that shocking or amazing, to be worth the slowness.

I really enjoyed this book, it was fast-paced with lots of twists and turns. I loved Jules, he was so precious, swearing in Latin. Amelia likewise is a fun character, and I like how they complimented the other. They both brought intelligence and their own physical strengths to their hunt. Somethings I could see coming, but that was ok since how things are revealed work well. The last third of the book- it felt like a lot of adults screwing things up for everyone. If Jules and Mia were allowed to just do their thing then a lot of problems could have been avoided. But what a cliffhanger! Although I do have some suspicions about who showed up on the last page.... I look forward to the second book!
**3 Stars**
Unearthed is described as Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft in space, which is spot on and that's exactly what made me pick it up. The story was well-written and I enjoyed the characters and the setting. It's a fast paced, action-packed adventure.
Problem is: I just had a hard time getting into it. I really wanted to love it, but I never felt like I truly got into the story and I can't really put my finger on it as of why. Maybe because it was incredibly slow at the beginning and didn’t pick up until the last 100 pages or so. I don't know...
I will still check out the sequel though, hoping it will get better.
