Tanya's father co-founded a company called MapOut before he died on a cartographic mission. Now, Tanya is taking a summer internship with the company thanks to her father's business partner. While there, she and Connor, the son of the business partner, uncover a secret that might take both their lives and a mystery that will have Tanya traveling further than she expected.

MAPMAKER by Mark Bomback and Galaxy Craze is an exciting thriller that keeps the suspense intently going. Though the premise with Tanya and her father's death isn't the most original, the authors do a fantastic job of making Tanya feel realistic and they capture her emotions perfectly. The mystery builds consistently during the story, leaving just enough enticing clues while still making it hard to guess what happened.

The pacing isn't as strong as it could be. There are long stretches of Tanya going from place to place, slowing the story considerably, making the scenes with more action and information almost too quick. The ending tries to pack a good portion of the answers in without enough buildup, and there are several unanswered questions by the end.

The romance with Connor starts well, and he and Tanya have several adorable moments. However, the romance seems almost irrelevant since Connor is absent for most of the story, and their relationship doesn't develop much.

All in all, MAPMAKER is an exciting read and one I would recommend to fans of Hannah Jayne and Claudia Gabel. This isn't my favorite story, but I did like the writing, and I would absolutely look for more books by Mark Bomback and Galaxy Craze.
