A review by lauren_soderberg
Uncharted by Adriana Anders
4.0
Adriana Anders’s Uncharted is a suspenseful, riveting romp through the Alaskan wilderness. An interconnected standalone, this novel follows last year’s Whiteout and continues with two new protagonists, Leo and Elias.
Leo Eddowes lives her life one thrill to the next. Part of an elite force that is seeking to prevent a highly contagious virus from landing into the wrong hands, Leo finds herself thrown together with Elias, a man as mysterious as he is massive. Elias Thorne possesses information that could be vital to Leo’s mission, but everyone else who knew what he knows has been killed. Can they work together to fight a common foe? And can they trust in the intense connection they feel toward one another as they traverse the punishing Alaskan climate?
I, for one, enjoyed Uncharted more than its predecessor, if only because Whiteout had to establish a lot more of the background and universe of the narrative. I’d recommend reading Whiteout first for context, and because it’s also very intense. Fans of suspense will definitely love the pacing and action in this story. The romance takes a bit of a back seat, which didn’t bother me as much as I would have thought. Leo and Elias are great foils for one another, and the mysterious Ash is also someone I’m itching to know more about.
If you like a fast-paced, gripping story that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat, Uncharted is definitely for you.
