Adventure. Betrayal. Murder.
Dead? Kate Collier refuses to believe her brother and last remaining family member died in the Brazilian rainforest. Determined to find the missing biochemist, she launches an expedition to find him.

A.C. Slader’s past is as dark and turbulent as the Amazon. Consumed with his own problems, when Kate tries hiring him to find her no-doubt deceased brother, he turns her down cold. The last thing he needs is to fight his way through an impassable jungle for a woman who wouldn’t know a stick from a snake. Only when he narrowly rescues her from an attack before she’s even left the relative safety of the town does he realize that without his help, she’ll get herself killed.

Together, they begin a perilous journey that will test the limits of their faith and each other…

Clean, Fun, Fast moving “2nd Chances” Brazilian Rainforest Adventure w Inspirational Message

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

I love a good adventure tale. Into the Darkness, #1 reminded me of parts of Jewel of the Nile (with Kathleen Turner and Micheal Douglas traipsing through the Colombian jungle), of The Hobbit (with Bilbo Baggin’s journey through the dark Misty Mts), and of memorable characters Kathleen Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart in The African Queen. Into the Darkness shared similar characterization, humor and outrageous LOL moments. Yet Into the Darkness also dealt with the important issues of (self)forgiveness, healing, and restoration (again reminding me of African Queen).

I enjoyed Into the Darkness. The adventure was fun and the pages turned quickly. After the long quest into the jungle, the final chapters began placing more emphasis on dealing with weighty spiritual issues (Why do bad things happen?) while Into the Darkness’s last chapter and epilogue provided the story closure and HEA I desired. I recommend Into the Darkness to readers who enjoy Clean or inspirational romance action/adventure novels, either the proximity/danger or 2nd Chances tropes and HEAs. Into the Darkness is suitable for young readers. It can be read as a standalone title.

Kate Collier/FMC, 38 yrs, is a prim and proper yet tenacious and courageous single woman. She is a church secretary in a small town near Dallas. Kate enters the jungles of Brazil alone on a search to locate her missing twin brother, Zach. As a research biochemist, anthropology and linguistics expert, Zach is well travelled in the Amazon area. He was reported missing 6 weeks earlier while on a quest to discover a hidden, and possibly dangerous tribe rumored to have knowledge of plants with pharmaceutical benefits.

A.C. Slader/MMC is a resigned American ex-patriot with a PhD in archeology working and living the past 5 years deep inside the Amazon jungle. Tall and strongly built with a hard, imperfect face, Slader came well recommended to Kate as the most qualified person to hire and assist her in her dangerous search for her brother. Will Slader be able to help Kate find her brother alive? Or did he die weeks ago in the Brazilian jungle as many believe? Will the journey and unprecedented situations open up new possibilities for either Kate or Slader?

Reader Cautions - IMO, suitable for readers, 14 yrs. and older.
Profanity- none.
Violence - minimal. Similar or less than old Westerns.
Sexual situations - none. Mild kissing toward the end.

Being led

I've read a lot of Margaret Daley ' s books and always enjoy them, losing myself in the plot and getting to know the characters. I may have found a favorite - at least to date. I loved the narrative, the dialogue, the characters and the sense of danger and adventure. It felt like I was actually in the jungle of the Amazon hearing the sounds of animals and waterfalls and seeing the tree canopies with bright birds above. The growing attraction of Slade and Kate was sweet, intense and real. I enjoyed every page! The spiritual lessons learned along the way show how God's love is meant to give us a place of trust and He is always ready to guide us back to the fold.

A Fun Romp

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020

I enjoyed this adventure through the Amazon (and maybe since I was once a church secretary, it added to the imagination). Fun to read, although not so much for the characters. Tongue-in-cheek humor flavored throughout this clean romance. A mystery evolves, but solving it is so much fun to read about--It kept me turning the pages to read on.

Great book!

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2020

Very few books keep me glued to them until the end.. Great characters, great story, could actually feel as if you were there. Well written from beginning to end. Especially enjoyed the characters and their push and pull (oil & water) personalities. Always enjoy reading books that incorporate God in their daily lives encouraging others who may be in a place of darkness and the Lord may use them in returning someone back to His fold.

If You Liked Romancing the Stone...

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

I am a fan of the story Romancing the Stone. This is a retelling taking us to the Amazon. Kate, the main character in Into the Darkness is as prepared to tackle the environment as Joan Wilder was Columbia. And while some may think such a scenario, a woman wearing dress shoes, he hair up, and a dress, would seem unbelievable attire for the environment both stories show how a worse case scenario can provide the reason.
This is a fun, fast read. Great description of birds, beautiful creatures we don't see in the States.

Predictable, love story. Plot not entirely satisfying.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

Through most of the book, all Kate and Slader did was bicker. And sweat a lot. Not sure why I even finished it.
In a well written adventure, there should be enough clues so that when the conflict is resolved you can say, that it all fit together and made sense. Not so here. The question of the story is who would want to kill Kate's brother Zach, and why? However, as the story nears its end, we zoom through the final explanation as if the author got tired of writing and just wanted to get it over with. We are surprised at the identity of the culprit, and had no suspicion of his motivation. Poorly done.

This is a suspensful Christian romance, full of adventure.

There is nothing I disliked. I enjoyed the setting - the Amazon basin in Brazil, and I just had to have my daily dose of it until I had finished it. It was a most satisfying read!
