The Queen Jade by Yxta Maya Murray
3.0
This book was good but very predictable. From the start when Lola meets Eric, I knew they were going to get together... and lo and behold, they did :) I was also a little bit disappointed in the end because it ended the same way the DaVinci Code did. The Queen Jade, thought to be a huge stone, was really a queen named Jade who had died... much like the Holy Grail turned out to be Mary.
However, the writing was pretty good and it was easy to get into and keep reading. Despite my criticism, I did enjoy this book and was glad that I had read it. I liked the relationships that were made not only between Lola and Eric, but also between Lola and her half-sister, Yolanda. Yolanda had gone through so much before the book took place that I am glad she discovered family in the end. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an easy-read, adventure novel with a side of romance. <3
