He does not write women well. He did not write the Mayans respectfully. But he did write scary stuff and that was well done

3.7 - This was definitely exactly what I expected but also exactly what I didn't expect. I really enjoyed this one and every page was a different experience. I also found the characters easy to get into and enjoy reading. I also got so invested in this I was feeling so angry at Any for drinking the water, it was such an enjoyable reading experience. Even with what Eric went through.... My chest hurts thinking about it.

The ending was exactly what I expected unfortunately but it still had great twists and I didn't really know how it was going to end but I was so engrossed in the story I needed to know and it kept me reading.

Would recommend!
