Highly Recommend It!

If I had to summarize this book, it’s the bachelorette set in Mayan/Aztec times with life and death stakes. This book had a little bit of a slow start, but it wasn’t long before I HAD to know what happens to Mayana and Ahkin. The world-building is fantastically engaging, the characters are so much fun, and the romance is thrilling. I’m currently reading the second one (The Jade Bones), and OH. MY. GOSH. The first one was a page turner, but The Jade Bones is even more brilliant. I got a chance to meet the author as well, and she’s a hoot! I’ve gushed about this book to all my friends and coworkers. I highly recommend it!
