I was selected to receive an ARC copy of this book, and am providing my review voluntarily. To be honest, when I saw that this book was already available through my Kindle Unlimited subscription, I downloaded it before confirming that I had been selected for an ARC copy, since the description sounded really interesting.

I liked how the author jumped right into the story from the first chapter. Though we start to learn a little information about the monkeys right from the beginning, there is still a lot of mystery about them that is revealed bit by bit throughout the whole story. It certainly kept me guessing as to what we might learn next, and was still surprised. There was a lot of action throughout the whole book. The plot was unique from other books that I have read, which is refreshing.

The book didn't pull me in as much as I thought it would, but I am still planning to read the next book in the series. I think I would have liked more background information about the characters, and hope that more will be revealed as the story continues.

Overall, it was worth the read and I look forward to seeing where the story goes in the next book!… (meer)

This book was my first read from the author and I’m glad I got the chance to read it. I really enjoyed the suspense and mystery throughout the book. The characters were great and the storyline was like a true situation. The book held my attention the entire time and was hard to put down. The story is of someone being killed and your best friend doesn’t believe what was being said about the killing. So this leads him to either do what is right for his friend’s family and find out what really happened and ruin his career or just push it under the rug.. I enjoyed it and plan on reading more from the author.… (meer)

REVIEW: Fast paced thriller that introduces the far-reaching consequences of power shifts in the oil and energy field. Even though there were times that the odds seemed insurmountable, the story was plausible enough to keep me fascinated. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is my voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: In a darkened warehouse in Colombia, a father of two and the second highest-ranking executive in one of the largest oil companies in the world is murdered in what the company claims is a botched kidnapping attempt. Three thousand miles away, on a rock wall in New Mexico, a renowned environmental scientist and experienced climber falls to his death. The two deaths are linked by a deadly conspiracy to conceal a discovery that could end global warming, bring oil companies to their knees, and change the balance of power and wealth in the world overnight.

When 33-year-old Nathan Robbins refuses to accept his company’s implausible account of the death of his mentor and friend, he’s risks everything he’s worked for all his life. Determined to uncover the truth, he follows a lead that takes him to New Mexico where he discovers he has to rely on the help of Jessica Adams, an attractive environmentalist who despises the Big Oil that he represents. Trapped between his company’s greedy CEO and a ruthless United States Senator, they race against time, following a trail that takes them from high in the wilderness to the heart of the U.S. Senate. But first they must find the key at the birthplace of the most powerful force the world has ever known—and stay alive to tell their story.… (meer)
