Week 43 Review: The Survivor

From Goodreads:
Eve Duncan and Riley Smith must solve their most exciting puzzle since A Face to Die For when asked to uncover the mysterious secret hidden on a remote island.

When archeologist Riley Smith comes to ask Eve Duncan for help, Eve has to say no. Traveling halfway around the world on a dangerous quest is not her expertise as a forensic sculptor. But Eve is intrigued by the prospect of an isolated island that holds a secret locked in time.

Traveling to Southeast Asia, Riley is aware of the threat from treasure hunters who are already searching and have no qualms about killing to get what they want. When she successfully evades them and finds the perfectly preserved body of a female warrior, it is just what she needs to entice Eve to help unlock the mystery.

As these two strong women seek answers about this extraordinary past life, Riley makes a living, breathing discovery that will change history. If she can escape the island and survive long enough to share it with the world.

My Review:
This was another fantastic read! I really enjoyed the first Eve Duncan book with Riley, and I was down to have another adventure with her. The first case was personal for Riley, and this one was just a new interest, but yeah, I had such a great time reading it!

I'm so glad that we're getting another adventure with Riley. She's a great character to read about, she's really passionate what she puts her time into. This this latest interest that also has bounty hunters sniffing around, well, I had to keep reading! 

This book also introduced us to Maya, protector of this island, who was pretty badass, but she also had vulnerable people to look after, including her daughter, who has been threatened by the bad guy. So I was rooting for her and Riley to take down the bad guys! 

Thrillers in remote areas, where it's hard to get help in, they always raise the tension, because the main characters have to rely on what they have on hand, and if something goes wrong, well, they might not survive it. So that was a really compelling part of this story! This book had me entertained beginning to end! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to see what comes next Iris Johansen!
