Lilly, a 19 yr old American product of the foster care system is backpacking in Bolivia when she meets local Omar and falls in love heading into the jungle with him to his home. The rest of the novel is filled with high adventure, great descriptions of jungle life and some mysticism with Shaman( Beya) . Turns out Lily is a shaman too. Lots of gory food and slithering animals and it all comes together in a tense, action packed thriller of a read. I enjoyed “ Into the Jungle” very much. ( ) Troubled Lily has had enough of bad foster homes and uncaring people so she packs a back pack and accepting a job offer heads to Cochabamba, Bolivia only to find that the job is non-existent. She does get a menial job at a hostel and there meets up with a couple of other travellers. The three girls spend much of their time drifting from bar to bar. Then one night Lily’s life changes forever when she meets and falls in love with Omar. Omar is from the Amazonian jungle and when he is called to return home, Lily decides to go with him. She soon finds out that surviving the jungle with it’s poachers, remote tribes, shamens, killer animals and poisonous insects is not going to be easy. From horrible weather to countless dangers, Lily is totally out of her comfort zone and struggles to find how to fit in. Into the Jungle is exactly what I was looking to read.

The problem is that there was no teaching job and now she's stuck in Cochabamba showing off her thieving skills to some new girlfriends. But, when Omar enters her life is it like being hit by a train; she has met the man of her dreams. So, of course, Lily goes with him when he must return to his home village in the middle of the jungle after his brother's child has been killed by a jaguar. However, she soon learns that much in the jungle can kill... READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW OVER AT FRESH FICTION! I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book about an adventure in the jungle, but I really liked Erica Ferencik's "The River at Night," so I decided to give it a chance. Am I glad I did! Extremely atmospheric, well-written, fast-paced and suspenseful - it was a great read, and I could hardly put it down. I appreciated the research the author did, apparently on site. The descriptions of the creatures inhabiting the jungle were terrifying! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
