This book was an interesting read, with a mesh of mystery and love. I love a good suspense whether I am reading it or watching it and I really don't read it all that often but when I do I always enjoy the extra suspense of trying to figure out the mystery.The first couple of chapters of this book were a little difficult to get through, there was an adjustment period for the authors writing style. I also felt a little bit like I was getting a lot of the same information over and over again. This was obviously not enough for me to put the book down but there was an adjustment period.I found Aidan and his story to be very interesting and unique, he is a man who feels just at home in the Jungle as he does back in the big city. He is a private investigator in the city so he is more than wanting to figure out what happened to a man from his tribe. He is a good man and I can understand the choices that he made, even though he was not always honest. I think if put in his situation I would have made the same choices he did.We are taken through a nearly week long trek through the jungle and are slowly given the pieces to the mystery of what happened to Malcom, Garrett's team guide. The author gives us different POV's from the main character's involved so that we are given different pieces of the puzzle. What at first seems to be an old and unpracticed ritual of Aiden's tribe turns out to be a situation that is much more complicated and hits closer to home them Aiden could have ever imagined.Garrett is forced to trust Aiden, given that her guide is dead and she has no idea where she is or how to get back to the city. I liked Garrett, she stays strong for her team and handles this crazy situation that she is in pretty well considering. Of course, the spark between her Aiden helps to keep her mind off the bad and on the feelings that she has for him. But, when she finds out some of Aiden's untruths she is very unsure about everything, even though she knows that she probably would have done the same in his position.I enjoyed this book and I read it all the way through in a day. I couldn't completely get into the flow of this author's writing style, but that is because of my own personal preferences. The book focuses mostly on the mystery aspect of everything with romance as a nice side to the adventure already taking place. If you like the suspense of solving a mystery and want a little bit of a  love story to go with it then I think you will enjoy this book. Garrett and Aiden go through some very intense situations in their short period of time together, but they create a bond that will last them a life time.You can find my full review with excerpts at booksshereads.com
