The Granite Key by N.S. Wikarski Review


ARKANA SERIES
Forget everything you thought you knew about ancient history. The real facts have been buried… Until now!

Imagine yourself a nineteen year old college student. Your life is normal in every way until a bizarre set of events drags you into a hidden world of danger. You are recruited by an underground society questing for artifacts that reconstruct the lost history of the human race. You are being pursued by a fanatical religious cult intent on acquiring a legendary relic before you do. A relic that, in the wrong hands, has the power to destroy the world.

In a treasure hunt that spans twelve thousand years of human history and covers every continent, the Arkana series digs deep through the layers of fabricated history to reveal a past we never dreamed we had and a future we never dreamed we could have.

THE GRANITE KEY
College student Cassie Forsyth awakens in the middle of the night, shocked by a nightmare in which she sees her sister being murdered. The attacker is a man in a cowboy hat who demands something called "the key." The girl's nightmare becomes real as she is drawn into an underground organization bent on recovering an ancient artifact that has the power to save the world or end it altogether.

A secret society. A fanatical cult. A telepathic girl.

All vie to unlock the mysteries of the granite key. The quest leads halfway around the globe to the ruins of a forgotten civilization and a secret it has guarded for millennia. The fate of the world depends on who gets there first.


My Review:
This was a good first book for a series. However that is exactly what it is. It is only the beginning of a well written story, and I felt like I was missing something. A professional hit man that misses his target, a clueless husband, mythology and a mysterious key. I liked everything else about the book, especially the feminine perspective. I know that the author will write book 2, and it will have a great ending. I would give that book a 5/5. This book is a 3/5 because I don't feel like the book had a definite ending point. I was given a copy to review from OrangeBerry Book Tours, however all opinions are my own.
