4 Smooches!
Synopsis
Seventeen year old Ollie Miller is ready to leave all of her hurt feelings behind, but moving on seems impossible while living next door to her ex-best friend, Mateo. When curious earthquakes begin to shake and rip open the foundation of her small town, the ground becomes as unsteady as her feelings for him. When they fall, they fall hard…
Ollie’s disastrous attempt to save Mateo’s brother from falling into a curious chasm results in their descent into a cavernous wonderland. Ollie, Mateo, Jesse, and Alexis search for a way back home, and encounter a mysterious tribe of natives. Gabriel, the next in line to lead his people, is granted permission to guide them to the surface. On their treacherous journey, an overzealous elder threatens all of their lives, because he can’t risk them exposing his people, or the power he wields. The group discovers ancient secrets, unexpected truths, and uncharted feelings. Ollie must find a way out or risk being stuck in the caves forever—or worse, dead.
Review
Olivia (Ollie) Miller is a seventeen year old that goes on an adventure of a lifetime. Earthquakes in her hometown begin and an epic journey happens. With her best friend and the Vargas brothers in tow, Ollie finds a world underground with dangers and beautiful scenery.
Mateo is the eldest Vargas brother and in the beginning, I couldn’t quite understand why he was upset with Ollie. But as the story continued I could see the chemistry between the two. But don’t be fooled, there is a new guy that tries to wedge his way through to Ollie. But Ollie has to get through the foggy teenage hormones and focus on getting home with her friends.
I was drawn into this fantasy underground world. The creatures were very different. The noor was a great mystery also. Descent has great potential for a great series. The ending was abrupt and I am curious to see what happens next with these characters. There are still questions that need answered! Anxiously waiting for book 2 🙂 4 smooches for Descent by Kallie Ross.
