A dangerous scheme could bury their long-held dreams forever. . . .
From the time she was little, Martha Jankowski has been digging in the dirt, much to the dismay of her mother. Now she dreams of being a paleontologist and is determined to make her parents proud by uncovering the next big discovery. When Martha finds what she hopes to be a fully intact dinosaur skeleton--one that could win her an acclaimed exhibit--she learns another team is competing against her and could steal her chance at being recognized for this momentous discovery.
Paleontology student Jacob Duncan has fulfilled his dream of digging for dinosaur bones at last. In a race against time, he and his team are bent on unearthing a complete skeleton to claim a museum exhibit with their names on it. But when Jacob meets their charming competitor Martha and uncovers foul play within his team, love and danger grow hand in hand until a menacing ruse threatens to destroy it all.
I'm sorry, but what just happened to me! I have never been more flabbergasted and shook by a book and it's twisty turn-y ending than I am by Set in Stone. It's been half an hour and I am still physically shaking. The suspense throughout the entire book was so good. I have not the words to explain it. Chef's kiss, okay? Also, the romance, super cute. The dinosaur dig, sort of makes me want to go dig up one for myself, to be honest. The faith element- beautiful. But I keep coming back to the plot overall. 10/10 masterful work. The way the characters grow, the setting, the tension that builds, the bread crumbs along the way to solving the mystery... I always love Kimberley Woodhouse's books, but this- this just takes the cake. I saw someone else's review say this was her best book yet, and pre-having-read-it me was skeptical, because some of her books are nearly impossible to top. Not skeptical anymore. If you love history, faith and science complementing each other, and a dastardly villain, look no further. (Plus, each book in this series is a standalone, so you technically don't have to read book one first. Although... I do recommend that one as well.) There's so much else I could say, but I am not here for spoilers, okay? Just buy the book. I'll make it easy and leave a link below the photo for you, okay?
