In this "hypnotic, violent, unsparing" (A. J. Banner, USA Today best-selling author) thriller from the author of the "haunting, twisting thrill ride" (Megan Miranda, New York Times best-selling 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 gig teaching English in Cochabamba, Bolivia. As soon as she could steal enough cash for the plane, she was on it.
But the program was a scam. And bonding with other broke, rudderless girls in the local youth hostel wasn’t the answer. Falling crazy in love with Omar, a savvy, handsome local who’d left his life as a hunter in Ayachero - a remote jungle village - to try city life: This was the last thing Lily could have imagined.
When Omar learns that a jaguar had 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 the ever-more-isolated string of river towns in the jungles of Bolivia. Thirty-foot anacondas? Puppy-sized spiders? Vengeful shamans with unspeakable powers? None of it matters to love-struck Lily. She follows Omar to a 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 - and all its residents - using only her wits and resilience.
"Gripping, breathtaking, and exquisitely told - Into the Jungle pulls you into another world, returning you forever transformed" (Wendy Walker, USA Today best-selling author).

The story us vividly told and the reading is great, very much appropriate to the text and the kind of extra lift I find brings me back to audiobooks.
But what I really thought exceptional was the honesty of the inner voice of the protagonist. Told in first person, she charmingly offers a window into the bravado of youth, its scary, foolish side but also the romance, adventure and opportunity that would be lost without the taking of desperate or impulsive chances. It offers testimony to the way in which difficult choices and life lessons play out, both inside and outside of us.
The story engages mystery, adventure, romance, magic, and the growth of personal understanding in a way that is, I think, why books (and, more generally, storytelling) exist at all.
I hope I'm not so overselling it that it can't live up. People may vary in how they see such things. But I think most will agree it's a fine adventure story so I recommend it.
An insightful and thoroughly engaging tale
