Temple of Swoon by Jo Segura
4.5
adventurous tense medium-paced

This was a fun, wild romp through the Amazon that was so reminiscent of an Indiana Jones film and NatGeo archeology shows I love to watch that it made me really happy! 

Miri is going to lead an expedition for a lost city when she hasn't led one before, but this is a chance for her to prove her worth as an archeologist. But with tensions in her group (and unbeknownst to her, Rafa, the guy she's slowly falling for is trying to sabotage things) and another, scarier group on the same archeological hunt... Things get dicey in the jungle. 

Oh, I could just imagine this on film! There's a lot of action, there's so many moments where things could have gone REALLY bad, and the romance is so tension filled that the pay off is perfection.
