How exciting to go into the Amazon jungle in Brazil on an adventure, right? Wrong!!!! The author portrays an adventure alright but it’s not one I ever want to take! It’s full of running away from people trying to kill you, bugs, foul weather, sheer exhaustion, little food and taking tumbles off of cliffs! However, Kate is trying to find her brother who has been lost for months and she’s not going to give up until she finds him! Everyone says he has to be dead but he’s her twin and twins know these kind of things! She may be a prim and proper kind of lady from Oklahoma but she is going to put everything she has into finding him, even hiring jungle guide A.C. Slader who makes her very nervous but people say he’s her best chance of finding her brother so she’ll depend on him! Slader does NOT want to help out Kate but something about her determination makes him say “yes” to this woman but he is not going to open up about himself or his past. He’s going to help her for a week or so and then be done! This story was great! I loved having an international suspense adventure with lots of action and getting to know these characters! I definitely recommend it!
