This book hooks you from the first line and leaves you wanting more. Nick Caine is a looter, or a "creative archeologist" in his mind. When Marie Da Vinci asks him for help in finding a fabled city that many have searched for and failed to find, he goes along for curiosity, and of course, the money. He didn't believe it was real, but her proof was just intriguing enough to get him interested.From the moment they set out, trouble dogs their footsteps. Creatures that shouldn't exist, and thankfully don't in real life, are there at every turn. It's Indiana Jones made so much better!The tale blends the "voices" of both authors beautifully and keeps the reader fully engaged from the first line to the last, and the dialogue felt extremely believable. Closing your eyes, you can watch the book unfold. It may be a shorter tale, but had it been 400 pages, it still would have felt like it was over too soon, and left me wishing for the next installment. That's the sign of a good book- when it all ends too soon. 5 stars! Highly recommended.
