A #BookReview of The Amber Secret by David Leadbeater #NetGalley #TheAmberSecret #ActionAdventure

​It's time to reveal The Amber Secret by David Leadbeater. It is being published through Thomas and Mercer. An advanced reader's copy was provided to me by NetGalley and the public version will be available on December 15, 2019.

This is the third book in the Relic Hunters series and builds upon the previous two - The Relic Hunters and The Atlantis Cipher. Therefore, I recommend reading the series in order.

Parental Note: This book contains violence and adult language. 

My rating: 5 Stars

A brief synopsis: Guy Bodie and his team are dealing with the fallout from their previous adventure when they are whisked away. Now, at the hands of ruthless treasure hunters and guided by an older gentleman of questionable sanity, Guy's team must unravel the clues that lead them to the Amber Room. Will those who, take this treacherous trek through the mountains, survive? Or will their guide lead them astray, never to be found?

My take as a reader: I was riveted to the story - wincing and gnashing my teeth. Wondering, all along, if the Relic Hunters would find the lost treasure or at least a way out of their predicament.

My thoughts as an author: Mr. Leadbeater is masterful at keeping the reader engaged in the ongoing events. Never knowing what will happen until the appropriate time.

I think anyone who enjoys action and adventure with a twist of treasure hunting will be delighted with this series.
