Review: Uncharted

✩✩✩✩

Hotshot pilot Leo Eddowes is afraid of nothing and no one. So when she's asked to evacuate a man from the wilds of Alaska, she doesn't hesitate. But with enemies in close pursuit and the weather turning sour, what should have been a simple mission quickly shifts to disaster.

And there's only one way out.

When Elias Thorne disappeared, he was America's most wanted. Now he's spent more than a decade in one of the most remote places on earth, guarding a dangerous secret. Leo's arrival, quickly followed by a team of expert hunters, leaves him no choice but to join forces with her—and run. Neither is prepared for their reluctant partnership to flare into something as wild and untamed as the frozen world around them...but as desperately cold days melt into scorchingly hot nights, Leo and Elias must learn to dig deep, trust in each other, and forge a bond as strong as the forces of nature.

Review: Uncharted is an action packed adventure/romance book that closely follows Whiteout. While the main characters are different, you should note that it's difficult to understand the underlying plot without having read Whiteout first. 

But...while I wholeheartedly loved Whiteout, I had some reservations with Uncharted. 

 

First, the plot seems a loss less credible. That a deadly virus would be stored in the middle of nowhere might make sense, but it would need to be, I'm guessing, in some sort of secure facility, to keep in from ever being unwillingly released - not in a rustic cabin in the woods. 

Second, I found both characters a bit odd, and their almost-instant romance unrealistic, to be honest. Its is real love, or it's just because Leo and Elias have no one else to turn to? When you ask yourself this question, it's a clear sign you are not convinced they could actually in love...

Overall, because it's almost non-stop action, Uncharted is still a page turner, but it's definitely not as good as the first book. 

Happy readings!
