Empire of Shadows by Jacquelyn Benson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This really hit the spot.

Back in the day, I was amazed at how much I enjoyed movies like Romancing the Stone, which was a romantic comedy dressed up as Indiana Jones, and while there have been many movies like this since, I've never quite fully FALLEN for it as I did these originals.

Sure, sure, I'm dating myself, but so what. The giveaway is in the title and the SPIRIT of the book hella on target. Basically, if you liked either of these movies OR Brandon's Mummy movie, you'll love this. It's delightful and sexy.

This book's synesthesia is a lush green, complete with all the scents of the jungle.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
