A YA Treasure Hunting Adventure!"If you enjoy adventure and want to feel like you really know the characters this is the book for you. You get lost in the reading as if you're actually with them going on their crazy adventures!" -Jacqueline Wiles, Author"Andrea Hintz is an amazing and talented woman and her book, the first in a series, Secrets of the Hidden Treasure is just as amazing. I read a lot of mystery and adventure books and this book is right on top of my all-time favorites. With Andrea's gift of adding descriptions of not only her characters but of their surroundings a person can actually find themselves tucked inside the binding of the book and living the story as if the book was actually you." -Carol Hook, Book Lover"The book was so well described that you could just picture yourself in the characters situation, their frustration, and emotions as their tying to find the Tesoro and walking into danger. The characters were all just so realistic and they all had their flaws, be it big or small. Also, the characters discuss issues that everyone could relate or sympathize with. My favorite part is the inclusion of Italian words spread throughout the course of the story. The best part is the glimpse into the past of the Tesoro and how it made you 5 times more invested in finding out more of the history and not wanting it to end. Overall its a quick fun read that anyone and everyone would enjoy." -Patricia, Book LoverThe first three books of The Tesoro Series (plus a prequel short story) are now available all in one book!Set in Italian forests, and inspired by people who aren't adventurous but have to "adventure" anyway, we explore the crossroads where past meets present.

I read this series during the COVID-19 quarantine and the story really helped to distract from all of this. Hope there will be more books! Can we have a Tesoro 4???

Four and a half stars. I really enjoyed going along with Daphne and her group in this adventure series. It was fun to follow the character's development and the way in which their relationships deepened over the course of the series.
The first and third parts of the journey were my favorites. I had to struggle a bit to stay with the second story and didn't really "feel" the location the way I did with the rest of the series.
Each book reaches a satisfying stopping point while leading smoothly into the next book. There was no sexual content or swearing. I liked the way in which the author maintained a sense of danger while staying away from graphic violence.
The Johnny Higgens portions of the story were great. The glimpses into his life interspersed throughout the story would have made the story worth reading for me even without the treasure hunt.
All in all, I really enjoyed this series and hope to read more books by the author in the future.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

The Tesoro Series (Book 1-3) by Andrea Hintz is a superb collection. Her writing styles has a way of luring readers deep into the protagonist's life. I found myself going on one incredible rollercoaster ride. Fun, dangerous and intriguing. Daphne Bleau is an interesting character. She was definitely believable. Following her journey through each of the books was fun. Andrea Hintz created a series of books that never allow a boring momen to enter. There's plenty of action, twists an turns, as well as trouble. Most books, you're lucky to live one different life but in these books it's like living more than one exciting lifestyle. Travel, explore, and laugh-out-loud. The Teresoro Series has it all. Everything readers need in a book can be found in each one of these. Beware, you begin with one and soon find yourself craving them all. The books are addictive and hard to put down...I couldn't stop reading. The suspense was like a thick cloud wrapped get me closer into the plots. Andrea Hintz is a talented writer who is now, added to my favorites list. She really knows how to entertain her readers and what they will love. Fast-paced, enjoyable, and I highly recommend this mystery thriller series to all.
