A review by karenmsecrest
Raiders of the Lost Heart by Jo Segura

lighthearted fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

1.0

Cute concept but lame writing style:
  • “Gorgeous” as a description 18 times
  • “That night in the library” referenced 8 times, and the incident that took place “that night” did not live up to the hype
  • The MFC’s vibrator is mentioned 18 times (side note: what kind of professional brings a vibrator to a remote archeological jungle dig site with zero access to batteries?!?)

Overall, this was trite, redundant, and rushed. Read for a book bingo challenge, otherwise would’ve DNF’d at 40%.
