Imagine that you decide to take a trip to the jungles of
Oaxaca, Mexico to just
have time to yourself. You are there with people you do not
know for a whole
week. Now imagine your worst nightmare for that week! You
are always looking
behind your back, running for your life, while trying to
keep from getting lost.
That is how the week went for Eve Hardaway in DON'T LOOK
BACK written by
Gregg Hurwitz.
In what was supposed to be an anniversary trip for Eve and
her husband
turned out to be a trip just for one. After Rick, her
husband leaves her for a more
elegant woman; she decides to take a trip that she had
planned on suprising him
with. She ends up traveling to stay at the Dias Felices
Ecolodge with five other
tourists to stay for several days. This turns out to be a
trip she'll never forget, if
she is able to live from it.
It does not take Eve long to find out that her hut was
only occupied about four months ago and she accidentally
finds clues to what
might have happened to the girl before her. There is
something in the jungles of
Oaxaca and at first no one believes her. She finds a camera
and several pictures and that has a few of the other
tourists that she is traveling with to ask
questions as well.
Then one of them ends up missing and Eve feels it is her
fault.
Did she see something that she should not have that put her
and the others in
danger? What or who is after them? The tourists and the
their guide for the trip,
a couple named Neto and Lulu are left running for their
lives in a monsoon of a
storm! Will Eve make it out alive with her friends? Will she
have the strength to
survive to see her son again?
DON'T LOOK BACK by Gregg Hurwitz will be on your mind days
after you
finish it! A lot of research went into this novel leaving me
with the sense that I
could feel the jungle heat, as well as the tense suspense
and fear that Eve and
the others felt through the fight for life in the jungle.
DON'T LOOK BACK is a book you will
want to read non-stop to the end.
In Don't Look Back, Eve Hardaway, newly single mother of
one, is on a trip she’s long dreamed of—a rafting and hiking
tour through the jungles and mountains of Oaxaca, in
southern Mexico. Eve wanders off the trail, to a house in
the distance with a menacing man in the yard beyond it,
throwing machetes at a human-shaped target. Disturbed by the
sight, Eve moves quickly and quietly back to her group,
taking care to avoid being seen. As she creeps along, she
finds a broken digital camera, marked with the name Teresa
Hamilton. Later that night, in a rarely used tourist cabin,
she finds a discarded prescription bottle—also with the name
Teresa Hamilton. From the camera’s memory card, Eve
discovers Teresa Hamilton took a photo of that same menacing
looking man in the woods. Teresa Hamilton has since
disappeared.
Now the man in the woods is after whoever was snooping
around his house. With a violent past and deadly mission, he
will do anything to avoid being discovered. A major storm
wipes out the roads and all communication with the outside
world. Now the tour group is trapped in the jungle with a
dangerous predator with a secret to protect. With her only
resource her determination to live, Eve must fight a
dangerous foe and survive against incredible odds—if she's
to make it back home alive.
