Valley of the Moon #2
Valley of Fire
"Unputdownable!"
Hunted. Haunted. Heir to a life-changing fortune…and a hidden family tragedy.
Forced to flee her swanky graduation ball pursued by dangerous Russian assassins, eighteen-year-old Lana must go on the run. She’s just discovered her late mother—who threw herself off the Golden Gate Bridge for reasons no one knows—was also heir to a grand Gilded Age fortune—but she never told Lana the truth about her past. Haunted by questions and by the ghost of her godmother, Lana must live long enough to claim her fortune—and solve the mystery of her mother's death.
Her only hope is the gorgeous, intimidating Alexander Ambrose. Who also happens to be her wealthy distant cousin. After finding Lana badly injured in the middle of the desert, he convinces her that she alone is heir to their reclusive great-aunt’s Gilded Age fortune. When she finds out her enemies are tracking her every move, she convinces Alexander to take her on a wild drive across the United States in his sleek Aston Martin.
If she doesn’t survive the journey, her devious, greedy stepmother will claim her fortune.
But first, she must survive Alexander Ambrose.
The second and final book in the VALLEY OF THE MOON series, VALLEY OF FIRE concludes the adventures of Lana Goodwin. A contemporary YA mystery, the book contains some intense scenes of violence, steamy romance, fast cars, ghosts . . . and a riveting conclusion to the tale of the girl from the valley of the moon.
This book was like gunshot -- fast and furious and unrelenting. Like Lana's Ferarri, right out of the gate, Archer's Valley of Fire will thrust you into a novel that is equal parts adrenaline, steamy romance and coming-of-age tale. I'm not sure what I liked best: the adventure with its thrilling twists and turns, the white-hot sparks between Alex and Lana or watching Lana grow into the young woman she was meant to be. Either way, I definitely didn't get much sleep for two nights. Unputdownable!

I read this book in a whirlwind of a few days because I simply could not put it down. It was such a fun continuation of the first book, with even more adventures and excitement. The author really captured my attention from the very beginning and did a wonderful job tying up all the loose ends and creating a really compelling, complete, whole exciting and romantic story. I just loved it. Recommend 100%.

Loved this book
Not only did I love this I loved Valley of the Moon also. A very warm romantic story with all sorts of intrigue thrown in. Once you reach the end of the first book, you immediately want the story to continue and continue it does. This book has a very happy ending and does not leave you hanging.

I was given a copy of this book from the author in return for a honest review.
This book really drew me in. There is a lot of action and interesting twists. I kept thinking I knew what was coming, and sometimes I did. Other times, I was completely off in my assumptions or didn't see it coming at all.
And of course, there is the sexual tension and romance. It enhanced the story and helped to move the plot along. Who doesn't enjoy a good love story mixed in with their Russian hit men, fast cars, kill or be killed story line?
There were still some typos and overused words/phrases but, nothing that really distracted me from the story.
I am kind of bummed it is only a 2 book series but, it was great ending!

I've been waiting for too long to read this book two of "Valley of the Moon." When the author sent me a message telling me that this book is already done, I was excited to start reading this, but my schedule in college was a hindrance. Now, I finished reading this, and here comes my review to this book.
Let's start with how the story began. At first, I am kind of disconnected with what was happening with the story as I've read the first book way back 2016 so I decided to see my review to the book one, and from there, I am back with the story. I like how my interest with the characters and their story was reignited.
The characters started just how they were like during the first book, but in this second book, I noticed how they slowly changed. The development in their role is proper, and well, it goes with the flow of the story. And here is Alexander again, still giving me the mysterious vibes and I hate it because I can't stop myself from swooning over him.
I like how the author wrote the story and how she came up with this plot. It is unique and exciting. Though the only problem that I saw was not going to destroy the flow of the story. There were some typos in the book, but it won't affect the enjoyment you'll have when reading it.
The storyline is a mix of mystery, action, romance, and a little horror because of that ghost element. This book has a fun story with twists that will rumble your mind. I am recommending this book if you like mafia thing with those words I've said above.
