What starts off promising, if a little silly, completely falls apart when in the second chapter we're introduced to her annoying (but attractive but annoying) ex husband who then forces his way into the story. She hates him. We hate him. The other side characters in the story hate him. Yet the author thinks he's the perfect love interest. Between him and the basically racist "native" guides (haha all South Americans are involved in cocaine right?) what should have been a fun light hearted tomb raider knock off becomes an unreadable unredeemable mess.

I don’t hate it or love it. It’s a fun treasure hunt that doesn’t drag. The characters were interesting and kept me interested in the plot. A bit Tomb Raider and a bit of Bones in there too. I’m game for a movie or mini TV series.

I will definitely read the next one. I may read them instead of listening to the audiobook.
