Spending the summer on an archeological dig sounds like fun, and it would be, if Paige Patterson didn't have to work for her dad--the man who walked out on their family. Luckily, her best friend Emily Linton is also interning for her dad. The summer takes on a romantic possibility when she meets Jalen Yazzi--the super attractive son of her father s project manager. But then Emily vanishes. As the police struggle for answers, Paige sets out to find the truth. What was Emily doing alone in the ruins the night she disappeared? Did she see something she shouldn't have? The search for Emily brings Paige and Jalen closer together, but it also unlocks long hidden crimes and dangerous mysteries. As Paige digs deeper into Emily's disappearance, she realizes that uncovering the truth may cost her everything--even her life.
My Review:
This was a really great mystery, with the context of being on an archeological site, and all the history that was there. I enjoyed watching Paige investigate for her missing friend, dealing with her dad and possibly suspecting him, as well and her emotions from her friend's disappearance, of the history they share.
There were points where the voice of a teenager really came through, that attitude of "I know better than everyone, even the professionals" and while it's accurate attitude of a teenager, it was just a little bit annoying. Thankfully, it was only at points, and not the majority of the book.
We were mainly in Paige's perspective, but there were a few of Jalen's, some at little moments to build out his story, and then others at the end, where things were pretty intense. And we got one of Emily, and that was just so sad, knowing something awful was going to happen to her!
Between Paige's suspicion of her dad-and the other shifty characters who were possible suspects-I didn't guess who the bad guy was. But once things started happening, yeah, it was pretty fast paced and I couldn't put it down! That ending did everything an ending is supposed to do very well!
