- If you get us killed, Hurley, I will personally haunt you for the rest of your miserable afterlife. - Sweetheart, if we get killed, I'll be too busy buying you a drink in hell to care. Florence Thorne is a New York academic in the year of 1933, who is far more comfortable sorting dusty museum archives than dodging jungle traps. But when her obsessive scientist father vanishes into the uncharted depths of the Congo, Flora has no choice but to swap her ink-stained pens for a pair of field boots. Her rescue mission goes disastrously wrong when she is left stranded in the green wilderness. Lost, desperate, and definitely not dressed for a trek, she bumps into Jack Hurley (for her luck... Or not). Jack is a rugged, charismatic, and entirely reckless Australian outfitter with a smirk that should be classified as a hazard. He is broke, incredibly charming, and hunting down the exact same ancient, glowing relic her father is. She thinks he's a crude, reckless brute who doesn't take a single thing seriously while he thinks she's a rigid, rule-following little scholar who won't survive a week in his shoes. To survive the wilderness, criminals, saboteurs and the secrets of a hidden waterfall, this unlikely duo must work together. Can a sharp-witted nerdy girl and a reckless Aussie survive the jungle... And each other? ✨ PEEK ✨ ✦ 1930s Pulp Adventure Vibes ✦ Opposites Attract / Nerdy Girl x Reckless Guy ✦ Strong, Charismatic Australian Guy (With plenty of dry Aussie humor) ✦ Enemies-to-Lovers & Slow Burn Romance (not that slow tho ;)) ✦ Forced Proximity (Only one tree-canopy bed!) ✦ Moral Gray Villains & Dangerous Ancient Mysteries

Briarsville remained a fairly calm, uneventful suburb. The worst that had ever happened was an unfortunate moonshine incident in which some people may or may not have ended up with permanent visual impairments. That is, until a nearly ninety-year-old named Mrs. Tanner is found in her stairwell. And then the local shop owner's wife, Mrs.Harper. Now things aren't quite adding up, which is why the assistance of psychoanalyst Doctor Lance Clairmont, not quite a mind reader but close enough, is imperative. "Jane Harper," I simply stated. That name immediately drew his attention back to me. "Yes, what about her?" I could not help but bristle at his impossibly calm demeanor. The man had nearly toppled over yesterday when he had arrived at the bakery. Why was he so composed today? "If memory serves me correctly, and it has not failed me yet, just last night you ran to me requesting assistance with a case about Mrs Tanner," I noted the way Officer Dowry's shoulders dropped, and his eyes cast down like a sad puppy. "However, I heard Chief Fielding last night on the radio, and he mentioned a certain Jane Harper."

Ryland Strich has gone through life as a seemingly normal boy. He was normal, of course, but the events that will befall Ryland in this novel are most definitely not normal. He's lived all his life in Greensborough, Louisiana, and has yet to hear about the supposed mental retaining facility for young people that burned down way back in 1924. Going back to when he was eight, he explored Brentwood Hill. At least, he thought it was a hill, before he fell down under the weak foundation of Brentwood Academy's old, buried structure. Surprisingly, everything is pretty much intact. Strange though, for being in a fire. Ryland suspects there's more to this story than meets the public's eye. If only he could spread the word, but he'll have to climb out first. No biggie, he thinks, until he hears voices coming from the old phonograph in the sitting room. That's where it all went downhill.
