Women's Fiction Psychological
In this pulse-pounding thriller from the author of the
"haunting, twisting thrill ride" (Megan Miranda, New
York Times bestselling author) The River at
Night, a young woman leaves behind everything she knows
to take on the Bolivian jungle, but her excursion abroad
quickly turns into a fight for her life.
Lily
Bushwold thought she'd found the antidote to endless foster
care and group homes: a teaching job in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
As soon as she could steal enough cash for the plane, she
was on it.
When the gig falls through and Lily stays
in Bolivia, she finds bonding with other broke, rudderless
girls at the local hostel isn't the life she wants either.
Tired of hustling and already world-weary, crazy love finds
her in the form she least expected: Omar, a savvy, handsome
local man who'd abandoned his life as a hunter in
Ayachero—a remote jungle village—to try his hand at city
life.
When Omar learns that a jaguar has killed his
four-year-old nephew in Ayachero, he gives Lily a choice:
Stay alone in the unforgiving city, or travel to the last in
a string of ever-more-isolated river towns in the jungles of
Bolivia. Thirty-foot anaconda? Puppy-sized spiders? Vengeful
shamans with unspeakable powers? Love-struck Lily is
oblivious. She follows Omar to this ruthless new world of
lawless poachers, bullheaded missionaries, and desperate
indigenous tribes driven to the brink of extinction. To
survive, Lily must navigate the jungle--its wonders as well
as its terrors—using only her wits and
resilience.
Primal, gripping, and terrifying, Into
the Jungle features Erica Ferencik's signature
"visceral, white-knuckle" (Entertainment Weekly)
prose that will sink its fangs into you and not let go.
