This book is about two couples vacationing in Cancun. A new friend asks them to help him find his brother who has run off with a girl to visit an ancient Mayan ruin. What appears to be an intriguing adventure turns into something horrifying. Before the folks involved can figure out what is going on, its too late. I really liked how the author wrote this book. While I was hoping for a different ending, the ending was a bit ironic and the author brought the story full circle. I discovered that this book was made into a movie which I'm looking forward to watching and getting a good scare.
