Deadly Twist by Kendall Talbot

An ancient Mayan Temple. A dark family secret. A desperate fight for survival.
When a mysterious ancient Mayan temple is discovered by a team of explorers deep in the Yucatan jungle, the world is entranced. But Liliana Bennett is shocked by the images sweeping the headlines. She’s seen the temple before, drawn in detail, in her late father’s secret journal.
Now, the explorers at Agulinta aren’t the only ones digging up secrets. Liliana is consumed by the mysteries surrounding her father’s sketches and, refusing to believe she’s out of her depth, she heads to Mexico, determined to see the temple for herself.
To reach the heart of the jungle, she’ll have to join forces with Carter Logan, a nature photographer with a restless heart and secrets of his own. But a journey to Agulinta means battling crocodiles, lethal drug runners, and an unforgiving Mother Nature.
Lost and alone, they stumble upon something they should never have seen. Liliana’s quest for answers becomes a desperate race to stay alive. Will Agulinta be the key to their survival? Or will Carter and Liliana become victims to the cruel relentless jungle and the evil men lurking within?
