I am a huge fan of Lindsay Buroker's The Emperor Edge series and the short stories that go with it so I jumped to buy and read this as soon as it came out.The story takes place in the 21st century, in Arizona, USA. (Definitely a different setting from her other books, so I was excited to see what she would do). Delia is an archaeologist turned treasure hunter, at least that what she is deemed as by her peers. She's looking to be the next India Jones, to find undiscovered artifacts and maybe some adventure.While exploring caves in the mountains of Arizona, Delia and her geeky friend Simon cross paths with a pair of mystery men and the monster that they're chasing, or maybe it's chasing them? Delia's unanswered questions grow the more involved they get, and the questions that do get answered are out of this world, literally.While I enjoyed this book, I didn't love it as much as her others. Some parts just seemed a little slow or lacking and not knowing the who, what, where, when and why of Eleriss and Jakatra was a little frustrating. I really want to know more about them. Lindsay sure knows how to make a good monster though, and the action scenes were page turners! Will definitely be keeping my eye out for the next book!
