This is a fabulous story, and I loved everything about it, from S.E. Harmon’s wonderful writing style to the fabulous characters and storylines she created to the perfectly cast narrator who brings it all to life from the pages to our ears. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and held it captive the entire time. Christopher “Kit” Sawyer is quirky and full of snark and sass. While the Sawyer name carries weight in the archaeology community, he opts to discover treasures within the pages of books from the safety and comfort of his office. While working to decipher ancient writing on a rare Aztec artifact, he uncovers more than he bargained for, and it is leading him to the unknown in the deep jungles of Mexico. But he does not go alone, his stepbrother, Ethan Stone, who is an experienced archaeologist, invited himself or maybe it was their grandfather who told him to go, either way he was joining him on his journey. OMG, those two together were a riot, and the back-and-forth banter was hilarious, with Kit having an answer to everything. And let’s not mention the chemistry between them, which was smoking hot. Harmon’s descriptive details brings you alongside these characters, experiencing everything they did, basically taking you on their adventure and wow, what an adventure it was, an action-packed, adventure with non-stop drama, some angst, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments and a sweet romance. It is a cleverly plotted story with fantastic world building and character development. S.E, Harmon, thank you for this fabulously entertaining story and the wild ride.
🎧📚🎧 Joel Leslie did an amazing job portraying the characters and did so with a complete understanding of who he was portraying. He absolutely nailed it as Kit, grasping all sides of his personality, including his quirkiness and sass, and he was just as fabulous in Ethan’s role, as well as all the secondary characters too. He set the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty dialogue and back-and-forth banter with ease, landing the snarky humor effortlessly. Joel Leslie is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen.
